I saved a fortune on Salt & Stone refills by shipping them from the US to the Netherlands

Why Salt & Stone Santal & Vetiver is all over my feed

I’ve been obsessed with the Salt & Stone Santal & Vetiver scent for ages. It has that specific, high-end woody aroma that makes my bathroom feel like a luxury spa in the middle of Amsterdam. We can easily find the 450ml bottles at local boutiques here, but I noticed my favorite us trends influencers were showing off these massive 1-liter refillable bottles that aren't available in Europe. In 2026, finding ways to make luxury habits more sustainable is a big deal for me, and the 1L size is exactly that.

The math behind the US 1L refill vs. Netherlands prices

When I looked at the local price for two 450ml bottles, I was shocked at how much more I was paying per milliliter compared to the US exclusive 1L size. The US professional refill is significantly cheaper when you break down the volume. Even when I factored in the cost of international shipping, the bulk purchase made much more sense for my wallet. I love the product, but I don't love the "Europe markup" that usually comes with American brands.

My experience with a freight forwarder

Since the Salt & Stone US store doesn't ship directly to my house in the Netherlands, I had to find another way. I used comGateway to get the job done. They provided me with a tax-free us address in Oregon, which meant I didn't have to pay US sales tax on the purchase. Once the body wash arrived at their warehouse, they notified me immediately.

I've found that using a freight forwarder is the most reliable way to get these exclusives. Before I committed to the purchase, I made sure to check the shipping calculator to see if the savings on the product would cover the transport. It turned out to be a great deal. If you're unsure about what else you can send, I recommend checking the FAQ or the list of prohibited items before you shop.

Shipping estimates for the 1L bottle

To help you plan your own haul, here are the estimates I used for my Salt & Stone order. Keep in mind that liquids are heavy, so the weight is the primary factor here.

Import tax and customs in the Netherlands

When the package arrived in the Netherlands, I had to deal with the standard import tax. In our neck of the woods, the 21% BTW (VAT) applies to goods coming from outside the EU. Even with that extra charge and the international shipping fees, I still came out ahead compared to buying multiple smaller bottles locally. It’s a bit of a process, but for a 1L supply of that Santal scent, it was worth every cent. If you have questions about how the process works, the support team is usually very helpful.

What to do if the US store won't accept your card

Sometimes, US beauty brands can be picky about non-US credit cards. I didn't run into this with Salt & Stone, but if you do, you can use a proxy shopping service. I've used their BuyForMe service in the past for other US exclusives. They basically act as the buyer for you, which solves the problem of regional payment restrictions. It makes the whole experience of getting US-only products much smoother.
