About K-Beauty Products
K-Beauty (Korean Beauty) products include Korean skincare, makeup, and cosmetics known for innovative ingredients and affordable prices. When traveling with K-Beauty products, they're generally allowed but subject to liquid and cosmetics regulations. Liquids, gels, and creams must follow TSA 3-1-1 rule for carry-on (containers ≤100ml in a quart-sized bag). Sheet masks are not considered liquids. Larger bottles should go in checked luggage. Some countries have quantity limits for cosmetics (typically for personal use only). Products with certain ingredients (snail mucin, bee venom) are usually fine but keep in original packaging with ingredient labels.
