You can carry sunscreen in your cabin bags. You will need to limit the volume to equal or less than 100 ml and place them inside a resealable plastic bag. In case travel-friendly containers do not offer you enough sunscreen, it is fine to bring large amounts if you pack them inside your hold luggage.

For international flights in 2026, the amount of sunscreen you can carry depends on whether it is in your carry-on or checked baggage. In your carry-on, sunscreen is classified as a liquid, gel, or aerosol, meaning it must follow the 3-1-1 rule: individual containers must be 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less and all fit within a single one-quart-size clear, resealable plastic bag. If you are traveling to a sunny destination and need more than a travel-sized tube, there is no limit to the amount of sunscreen you can pack in your checked luggage, provided it is within your airline's total weight allowance. To save space in your carry-on, you might consider "solid" alternatives like sunscreen sticks or powdered sunscreens, which are not subject to the 3-1-1 liquid restrictions. It is also worth noting that some countries, like those in the EU, have implemented advanced CT scanners at security that may eventually lift the 100ml limit, but as of 2026, the 100ml rule remains the safest global standard to follow to avoid confiscation.
