## Research questions

### What can a travel-beauty ad say about carry-on liquid sizes in the United States?

TSA's travel guidance limits standard carry-on liquid, gel, cream and paste containers to 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters within its liquids rule. State the actual container size and link current TSA guidance when relevant. Do not imply that the product has universal airport approval.

### Why avoid a universal airport-safe promise for mini beauty products?

The UK government's hand-luggage guidance says liquid rules depend on the airport and asks travelers to check their departure and return airports. Product creative can state container capacity while directing shoppers to the relevant authority. A mini label alone does not guarantee acceptance everywhere.

### How should travel-size skincare purchases be compared with full-size purchases?

Paula's Choice says most products have paid travel-size options. Separate mini, full-size and mixed baskets in actual order analysis before interpreting AOV. The public format choice does not show that travel customers later purchase a full-size product.
