These days, through the security of the airport, practically attention is required to pay attention to the specialty level. Should I take off my shoes? Laptop or outside? How about those batteries? And when it comes to fluid, you should know, nothing is happening more than 3.4 ounces… or is it? In the last few months, a social media tendency has come to light, in which travelers have claimed how they did the best with their beauty products with their beauty products before going to the airport.
“I really, really hope that it works because I love this cleaning balm,” Tiktoker shared Fiona Before putting her frozen Elmis balm through the belt. After a moment, it came commenting with Fiona, “I couldn’t believe that worked.”
He too Repeat the experiment With similar results with shampoo bottle.
And in fact, social media stars like Fiona are not wrong. In form of TSA’s website tells“Frozen liquid items are allowed through the checkpoint until they are frozen when they are presented for screening.” However, it is significantly mentioned, “If frozen liquid objects are partially melted, slipped, or there is a liquid on the bottom of the container, then they have to meet the requirements of 3-1-1 fluids.”
So, yes, you can do this technically, but what should you do?
“From my perspective as a dermatologist, freeze most skincare products is generally a bad idea,” Dr. Hannah CopelmanWHO has completed two clinical fellowships from Colombia University and skin cancer from Boston University Travel + holiday“Active ingredients in skincare- Retinol, vitamin C, peptides and even sunscreen are highly sensitive to temperature changes.”

“I would not recommend freezing the skincare regularly-it is much more safe to stick to travel-shared versions or transfer your products to TSA-innovated containers so that the formula remains stable and effective.”

Copelman explained that when you freeze them, the formula may “be separated or low, meaning that the product will not be as effective when it is applied later. Cold can also change the texture, which can make cream or serum water, which can affect both application and absorption.”
Melani abettaThe owner of the Hormony Esthetics Center in a beauty nurse practitioner and los angeles, and agreed that “Cream, serum, and emulsion can lose their texture, efficacy, or stability after the cold … In addition, repeated colds and scattered packaging and repeated packaging and causes can compromise the lies or coincidence.”
However, if you are trying to get some products through TSA, not all hope is lost. As Dr. Loui kimA cosmetic chemist, some products “sometimes can withstand the cold,” usually those who are “mostly solid or waterless (water-free), such as some oil balm, solid cleanser, or wax-based products.” According to Kim, these products do not make ice crystals because “they have no water, and this means that they are very less unsafe for cold and clinging.”
Copelman said that some products, such as petroleum jelly, can usually face a freeze-thick cycle without losing their integrity. “Sheet masks, if they are soaked in just a hydrating essence, often correct,” he said. “That said, I would not recommend freezing the skincare regularly-it is very safe to stick to travel-shaped versions or transfer your products to TSA-innovative containers so that the formula remains stable and effective.”
Kim also advised the cold by saying that “even though the cold will not destroy the waterless formulas, it is possible that their texture may change. Some natural oils, such as Shea Butter and Coconut Oil, may be slightly gritty in the texture when cooled. Oil can change the antioxidant properties well.”
The safest approach, Kim said, “Using Minis or transferring your product to TSA-innovative containers instead of relying on cold.”
