Contact lens solution, hair and shower gel, toothpaste, and any other pastes or gels of similar consistency are also prohibited.

As per the rules, there is a restriction of one plastic bag per passenger, and they will have to present the bag at airport security. The material must fit snugly inside the bag so that it can be sealed, and the bag cannot be bunched or tied at the top.
Passengers are allowed to carry no more than 100 ml of liquid before security if it is due to a unique dietary need, a medical emergency or involves infant formula.
