Can I take Daiso cosmetics, sunscreen and sprays on the plane?
Yes, within the liquid rules. In carry-on bags, each liquid, gel or cream (lotion, sunscreen, lip gloss) must be in a container of 100 ml or less, and all of them must fit in one transparent 1-litre zip bag per person. In checked bags there is no volume limit for cosmetics, but sprays are limited to 500 ml each and 2 kg in total.
What to do now
- Sort your purchases: containers of 100 ml or less can go in carry-on; anything larger goes in your checked bag.
- Put all carry-on liquids, gels and creams into one transparent 1 L zip bag.
- Put sprays over 100 ml in your checked bag, keeping each under 500 ml and the total under 2 kg.
- For an item you are unsure about, call Incheon Airport customer service (1577-2600) or check with your airline.
Container size, not how full it is, decides the 100 ml carry-on rule. Sprays have their own checked-bag limits. Your airline or a transit airport can apply stricter rules.

Airport security screening applies these rules; your airline can be stricter.

I need practical help with a Daiso Korea issue. The policy question: Can I take Daiso cosmetics, sunscreen and sprays on the plane? Useful context I found: Yes, within the liquid rules. In carry-on bags, each liquid, gel or cream (lotion, sunscreen, lip gloss) must be in a container of 100 ml or less, and all of them must fit in one transparent 1-litre zip bag per person.

My specific situation: [Describe what happened, including dates and messages shown] The outcome I want: [Refund, verification, appeal, account recovery, explanation, etc.] Important constraints: [Country, deadline, booking/account status, documents already submitted, budget, or other limits] Please: 1. Identify any missing facts you need before reaching a conclusion. 2. Separate platform policy, local law, and your own inference. 3. Give me the safest next steps in priority order. 4. Use current official sources where possible and flag anything that may have changed. 5. Draft a concise message I can paste to customer support. 6.

Why this policy exists
Incheon Airport's carry-on FAQ (checked October 9, 2026):
· Carry-on liquids, gels and aerosols: each container 100 ml or less, judged by the size of the container rather than how much is left in it, all in one transparent 1 L zip bag per person.
· Cosmetics such as lotion, sunscreen and lip gloss count as gels.
· Hair spray and insect-repellent sprays: allowed in carry-on if 100 ml or less in the zip bag, or in checked baggage up to 500 ml per item and 2 kg in total.
· Checked baggage: no volume limit for ordinary liquids.
Many Daiso cosmetics come in small sizes, which helps. For example, the VT Reedle Shot sold at Daiso is six 2 ml tubes. Larger bottles go in your checked bag.
Your destination country's customs rules on how much you can bring in are separate from these airport rules.
