Can you take La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 on a plane?

Skincare · counts as balm

Short answer

Every Cicaplast size is 100ml or under, so all of them are fine in your cabin bag.

Rule basis: Sizes sold: 15ml, 40ml, 100ml.

What to do: Cabin: containers ≤ 100ml. Checked: any size.

Liquid Limits is a travel planning tool, not an official aviation source. Always confirm with the airport before you travel.

In cabin baggage

Cicaplast B5 counts as a liquid/gel under the standard airport rules. That means containers up to 100ml (3.4 fl oz) in your cabin bag, all fitting inside a single 1-litre clear plastic bag. A few airports with CT scanners (Gatwick, Edinburgh, Bristol, Amsterdam, parts of JFK) allow up to 2 litres, but never plan around that for both ends of your trip.

In checked luggage

Cicaplast B5 travels fine in checked luggage at any size. Wrap it in a sealed plastic bag — pressure changes at altitude can pop seals, and an exploded tub costs you everything around it.

Real-world examples

•15ml tube: fine in the cabin
•40ml tube: fine in the cabin (the most-travelled size)
•100ml tube: fine, but it eats most of your liquids bag

FAQs

Does Cicaplast count as a liquid?

Yes — security treats anything pourable, spreadable or pasty as a liquid, including creams, balms in jars, and serums.

What's the smartest way to travel with Cicaplast?

Decant a few days' worth into a 30ml or 50ml refillable jar from Muji, Sephora or Boots. You keep your full-size pot at home and your liquids bag stays light.

Will an unopened Cicaplast get confiscated if it's over 100ml?

Yes. Security goes by the container size printed on the bottle, not whether it's sealed. New, unopened, half-full — none of that matters.
