Last week, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) now allows passengers to bring full-size sunscreen bottles in carry-on bags. On Wednesday, April 7, the TSA changed its policy on carry-on sunscreen following a challenge by Brown University about only allowing a maximum 3.4-ounce (100.5ml) bottle.

The dermatology department of the Providence, Rhode Island Ivy League school challenged the TSA because sunscreen is used to protect a person’s body from ultraviolet radiation that is known to cause skin cancer. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) products are now listed with other medical items such as eye contact solutions, inhalers, and liquid medications on the TSA’s website.
