Traveling light doesn't mean skimping on sun protection. Travel size sunscreen is your go-to for staying safe on the move, conveniently packed in a TSA-friendly size that fits perfectly in carry-ons, backpacks, or even your pocket. Whether you’re chasing waves, hiking new trails, or catching views from a rooftop, travel size sunscreen ensures your skin stays protected. Because no matter where life takes you, sun care should always come along for the ride.
Understanding TSA Regulations for Travel Sunscreen
Travel size sunscreen is typically any sunscreen that meets TSA’s 3.4-ounce (100 ml) liquid limit for carry-on bags. This means you can pack it in your quart-sized bag with other liquids and breeze through security hassle-free.
Sunscreen Sticks: A TSA-Friendly Alternative
Pro tip: sunscreen sticks don’t count toward the liquid limit, so they’re a great alternative for saving space in your bag while keeping your skin protected. Yep! Sunscreen sticks are totally TSA-approved and don’t count toward the 3.4-ounce liquid limit for carry-ons. Since they’re considered a solid, you can toss one in your bag and travel worry-free.
If your sunscreen is a lotion, gel, or spray larger than 3.4 ounces, it’ll need to go in your checked luggage. Smaller containers, however, can join the quart-sized, clear plastic bag for carry-ons. Here’s the hack: sunscreen sticks don’t have to go in the quart bag at all. They’re the ultimate TSA-friendly option, making it easier than ever to stay sun-safe on the go.
Packing Essentials for Travel
A quick dash to the airport for a weekend getaway or business trip requires one to pack efficiently. Packing travel-sized toiletries, makeup, and essentials is the way to do it. A toiletry bag can have anything from soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, body wash, sunscreen, body lotion, dry shampoo, face wash, makeup remover, and cleanser. Your carry-on bag can even have band-aids, sanitizers, sprays, and creams that act as a first-aid kit when necessary.
Packing toiletries for your on-the-go travel and adventures no longer has to be a hassle. Using travel-friendly essentials that come in travel size will help you stick to your beauty routine even when you’re a thousand miles away from home. You can also try these mini must-haves when you don’t want to commit to a full-size product of any kind.
Promotional Sunscreen and Brand Awareness
Show that you care about the well-being of your audience with promotional sunscreen and sun protection products. Branded travel-sized and individual sunblock packets make great giveaways at outdoor sporting events, health & beauty trade shows, and community festivals to build awareness and trust in your brand.
Protect your customers and community members from long-term exposure to UVA rays & UVB rays when you hand out custom sunscreen at events. Wearing sunscreen greatly reduces the risk of skin cancers like melanoma and the less severe effects of sunlight such as sunburns.
Understanding SPF
We carry SPF15, SPF30, and SPF50 sunblock products that can be customized with your logo. According to the FDA, “SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is a measure of how much solar energy (UV radiation) is required to produce sunburn on protected skin (i.e., in the presence of sunscreen) relative to the amount of solar energy required to produce unprotected skin.”
Use sunscreen promotional items to spread brand awareness for your organization while offering a useful item to customers during outdoor activities. They’re perfect for sponsoring awareness walks, giving to employees at corporate picnics, and as a promo giveaway at trade shows.
Sun Protection Beyond Summer
These items aren't just for summer either! UVB rays are present and dangerous during winter too. The rays from the sun reflect off snow and ice, so UVB protection on faces is a must when you’re skiing or sledding and you’re not bundled up with a scarf and sunglasses.
Types of Sunscreen for Different Needs
Sunscreen Lotions
Sunscreen lotions provide thorough coverage and are easy to apply evenly across the skin. Parents tend to choose lotions for their children because of the all-over protection that lotion provides.
You can add your logo to custom sunscreen bottles that have convenient carabiner clips, collapsible bottles that take up less space, or get branded sunscreen travel-sized bottles.
Spray Sunscreens
Spray sunscreens are incredibly convenient and quick to apply, especially for hard-to-reach areas. They offer a lightweight feel and are generally non-comedogenic (they don’t block pores). Sunscreen sprays dry quickly, making them a favorite for active users and those on the go.
We carry stick sprays and credit card-style sprays that will easily put your logo in the pockets of your target audience.
Single-Use Sunblock Packets
Our custom logo-printed single-use sunblock packets are a cheap option for bulk sunscreen promo products. They can be ordered on their own or as a part of our custom sunscreen kits. They're small enough to easily fit into a pants pocket or golf bag.
Roll-On Sticks
Roll-on sticks are perfect for targeted application. You get precise coverage without the mess. They are compact and portable, fitting easily into bags and pockets for on-the-go protection. Sticks are particularly useful for applying sunscreen to the face and other sensitive areas, ensuring controlled and even application.
The customizable imprinted tubes are very similar to those in which you'd expect to find lip balm and are applied in the same way. Sunscreen lip balms protect one of the most sensitive areas of the skin from harmful UV rays, preventing both sunburn and chapping. They contain moisturizing ingredients to keep lips hydrated and healthy.
