Do makeup wipes count as liquid at airport?

From freshening up your skin, removing makeup, mopping up spills, these multi-purpose beauties are a staple in my travel kit. Plus they don't count as a liquid! Deodorant sprays and makeup removers can easily be replaced with baby or face wipes, which are not counted as a liquid.



No, makeup wipes and baby wipes do not count as liquids according to TSA and most international aviation security guidelines. They are classified as "solids" or "moistened towelettes." This is a significant travel hack because it allows you to carry as many wipes as you need without them taking up valuable space in your single quart-sized (1-liter) clear liquids bag. While the wipes are saturated with a cleansing solution, the liquid is absorbed into the fabric and cannot be poured, which is the standard TSA uses for the 3-1-1 rule. This same rule applies to individually wrapped lens wipes and disinfectant wipes. However, be careful with "cleansing balms" or "creams" that come in a jar; even if they look solid, if they can be spread or smeared, security will likely count them as a liquid or gel, requiring them to be 3.4 ounces (100ml) or less and placed in your liquids bag.
