Can you take P20 Once a Day Sun Cream SPF 50 on a plane?

Sunscreen · counts as lotion

Short answer

Only the 100ml P20 spray goes in your cabin bag. The 200ml bottle has to go in the hold.

Rule basis: Sizes sold: 100ml spray, 200ml spray.

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

P20 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

P20 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

FAQs

Does P20 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 P20?

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 P20 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.
