Travel veterans I need your help

i have a homemade face wash that I want to take to my upcoming DLR vacation. I'm planning on putting it in my carry on in case of any issues. The pic is above, what do you think? Will it cause trouble? The size of the container is 1.18 oz.

It's smaller than 3-oz, will it fit into a ziplock bag? If so, you should be good. Check out below link:

Have a great trip!

What is it, out of curiosity....?

1/4 cup Raw honey , 1-2 tablespoons 100% natural calcium bentonite clay, 5 drops 100% pure tea tree oil, 3 drops 100% pure lavender oil. I mixed it in a small wide mouth mason jar, then transferred some of it to my travel container. I scoop some out with a small salt/appetizer spoon. It can be used as a mask, but it's my everyday face cleaner.

Interesting!
Is it because you're allergic to store bought cleansers or just because you like a natural face wash?

I'd put it in my checked bag if the container didn't meet the size requirements.

disneysteve · Dec 1, 2015

I would check it if it is an unmarked, unidentified product. That could be a problem.

Mickeyflower · Dec 1, 2015

Yeah my concern is because it's unmarked and sort of an odd color. The size is fine it's under 2oz.

It's because I'm OBSESSED with trying new things on my face, and because k have yet to find THE ONE when it comes to skin care. I also have ultra mega oily skin, so looking to help that too. I found this concoction online, and I've only been using it a few days, and I LOVE how my skin feels!

I think you'll be fine if it's in your 3-1-1 bag. Lots of people put creams in travel containers.

That's true. I wasn't thinking. We have travel bottles we use that don't identify the contents.

Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.
It shouldn't be an issue with TSA, but pack one in your checked luggage as well as one in your carry on. That way if TSA does confiscate it from your carry on you still have some when you arrive. TSA guidelines aren't always followed by the front line officers, so be prepared for them to question any open unmarked containers of liquids or gels.

Ha! True! I got pulled aside, searched and patted down because of my asthma inhaler

We had a lot of issues with my husbands inhaler also. Never an issue here in Aus... But then, we don't have to take shoes, belts and outerwear off at security, and we also can get all the way to the boarding gate without a ticket... Much easier down here to be in an airport.

Well, like they say "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch". One crazy person had a bomb in his shoe. It can be a little bothersome, mostly because at the same airport, I have different experiences.

Yeah, but I guess it's all for a decent reason, so it doesn't bother me too much, it's just annoying to take everything off.
When we travelled through the USA, I wore thongs (flip flops), and an intimo outfit of leggings, a long tunic and long wrap, it's all micro modal, comfortable and not thick enough to be forced to take it off

I often roll my eyes at younger people who wear pajamas in public, but thats how I fly now; pajama pants and a tee shirt. My carry on has my real clothing. I avoid anything questionable in my carry on, and njust before screening put my wallet and keys in it.
In a bit of irony, many US airlines allow early boarding for members of the military if 'in uniform', however we have been repeatedly told NOT to fly in uniform as it may make us a higher target in the event of an attack, unless we absolutely need to.

At least it's only the outerwear you need to take off

It is for good reason, which is why I don't complain. I will happily do what is necessary to keep me and my fellow man safe. My only problem is, different rules at different airports. If they were all the same, it would be much easier. The people I see getting frustrated are the ones who don't plan ahead, don't read, and expect to be passed over simply because they yell.

LOL! Airport people watching is fun! I still wear jeans, and depending on weather, either thongs or boots, both easy off easy on. I hate walking barefoot on that carpet, YUK, but I'm not putting my feet in my mouth, so it's all good. THANK YOU, for your selfless service!!

I would disagree. I don't think there is any good reason to make millions of travelers remove their shoes just because one nut job tried to light his shoe on a flight 14 years ago. What would we all be subjected to today if he had something hidden in his underwear instead?

I'm all for security and taking reasonable precautions to eliminate likely risks. I think the current system has gone outrageously overboard.
