Cosmetics, including those designed to enhance lip appearance with a glossy finish, are subject to transportation regulations on aircraft. These regulations often categorize such items based on their physical state. The classification as a solid, liquid, or aerosol determines whether these items are permitted in carry-on baggage, checked baggage, or both, and the permitted quantities.
Adherence to these regulations ensures aviation safety and security. Limiting the quantity of certain substances carried on board reduces potential risks. Regulations are subject to change and can vary based on the departure and destination airports and the airline carrier. Familiarity with these guidelines prevents travel disruptions and potential confiscation of personal care products.
