The more organized the bag — and I would definitely not suggest layering it flat across a whole bag — the less likely the screeners seem to be in opening the bags. I’m speaking of carry on luggage and soap bars in it.
What ingredients are in the toiletry products made by the OP?
This is super helpful and reassuring! Thank you! I plan on bringing them in a small roller carry on since they are Shea butter soaps and I don't want them to melt in checked baggage, since the plane underneath could get hot! I thought they might just swab/question me, but then my coworker freaked me out about it a little.
She made me super afraid that all my hard work would be confiscated!
The soaps are Shea butter, with sage green swirls as half the soap is colored with olive leaf powder. They are lemon verbena scented.
I didn't plan on plastic wrapping them or anything, but was going to wrap them in paper, or put them all in plastic food containers so they don't get the bag soapy. Either way, it would be organized! I do have cheap little white paper bags I can put them in individually, if that would be better.
