Few things are more frustrating than watching a favorite skincare product go into the security bin. If you travel often, you know the drill: small bottles, one clear bag, no exceptions. That is exactly why we made our mists in a 2 oz size.
A quick note on "carry-on size"
The TSA does not approve specific brands or products. What it does have is a clear rule for liquids in carry-on bags. When people say "carry-on size," they usually mean a product fits within that rule. Our 2 oz mists do.
The 3-1-1 rule, in plain words
For US flights, the TSA's liquids rule for carry-on bags is often called 3-1-1:
- 3 — Each container holds 3.4 oz (100ml) or less.
- 1 — All containers fit in one quart-size, clear, resealable bag.
- 1 — One bag per passenger.
Our 2 oz hydrosols fit comfortably within that limit, with room in your bag for the rest of your essentials.
Rules can change and may differ outside the US, so always check with the TSA or your airline before you fly.
Why 2 oz is the sweet spot
- Small enough to carry everywhere: carry-on, purse, gym bag, glovebox.
- Big enough to last through a trip, even with frequent misting.
- Light enough that you will not think twice about packing it.
Our travel-ready mists
| Mist | Why travelers love it |
|---|---|
| Lavender | Calm on long flights and before sleep in a new place |
| Rosemary | A bright wake-up after early departures |
| Tulsi Basil | A fresh reset after a long travel day |
| Bayberry | Balance for oily skin in humid destinations |
| Aloe Cucumber | Cooling after hot days of sightseeing |
| Lemongrass | A bright, citrusy midday lift |
Note: our Cooling Sun Mist comes in a 4 oz size, which is larger than the carry-on limit. Pack it in checked luggage, or bring the 2 oz mists in your carry-on.
Packing tips
- Put your mists at the top of your liquids bag for easy screening.
- Make sure caps are closed tightly.
- Keep one mist in your personal item so you can use it in flight.
