I calculated the savings of shipping the 18 oz Supergoop! Play Everyday Lotion pump to Switzerland

Why I wanted the jumbo 18 oz pump

As we get closer to the sunny months of 2026 here in Switzerland, I started looking at my skincare budget. I noticed that the Supergoop! Play Everyday Lotion (18 oz Home Pump) has been popping up everywhere on my feed. It is currently one of the most popular products in the US because of its massive size.

While my friends in Australia are complaining about only having access to tiny, expensive tubes in their local shops, we in Switzerland face a similar struggle. Buying high-end SPF in 50ml or 75ml increments feels like a waste of money when a giant 532ml pump exists. I realized that if I could get my hands on the jumbo size, I wouldn't have to restock for the entire year.

The math of saving on Supergoop! in Switzerland

I did some quick math. Locally, a premium sunscreen can cost upwards of 30 CHF for a small bottle. The 18 oz Supergoop! pump usually retails for around $68 USD in the United States. Even after adding shipping, the price per milliliter is significantly lower than anything I can find at a Swiss pharmacy or boutique. My goal was to see if I could make the logistics work without spending more on the delivery than the product itself.

How I shopped US stores from my living room

Since the 18 oz pump is a US exclusive, I couldn't just walk into a store in Zurich to buy it. I decided to shop us store sites directly. To make this happen, I used comGateway to get a tax-free us address. This allowed me to buy from US retailers that don't normally ship to Switzerland.

I found the how it works page very helpful for my first time. It essentially gave me a private suite in Oregon, which meant I didn't have to pay US sales tax on my purchase. From there, my package was ready to be sent across the Atlantic.

Shipping estimates and logistics

Before I committed, I used the shipping calculator to get a clear idea of what I would be paying. Here is the breakdown of what I found for the 18 oz pump:

I also checked the international shipping rates to ensure I was getting a fair deal. Since the lotion isn't on the prohibited items list, the process was straightforward. If you have questions about specific liquids, you can always check their FAQ for more details.

What about Swiss import rules?

We all know that importing goods into Switzerland comes with rules. As of 2026, the VAT rate is 8.1%. When I imported my Supergoop!, I made sure to keep my total value in mind. Usually, if the VAT amount is less than 5 CHF, it is waived, but for a $68 bottle, I expected to pay a small amount of Swiss tax upon arrival. Even with the tax and the freight forwarder fees, I still saved about 40% compared to buying equivalent volumes of premium sunscreen locally.

Pro tip for Swiss shoppers

I recommend bundling your sunscreen with a few other us trends. Since you are already paying for the base shipping cost, adding a few lightweight items like lip balms or facial serums doesn't increase the international shipping rates by much. This makes the "cost per item" even lower.

My final thoughts

I am really happy with my decision to ship the Supergoop! 18 oz pump from the US. It sits on my vanity, and the pump makes it so easy to apply every morning before I head out. I don't feel like I'm "wasting" expensive product because I have such a large supply. If you are tired of the high prices of small sunscreen tubes in Switzerland, I definitely suggest looking into this US-exclusive size. It’s a much smarter way to shop for your skin and your bank account in 2026.
