Is the minty hype really worth the buzz?

I have been seeing the Topicals Slick Salve Mint all over my social media feeds since the start of 2026. Everyone is talking about that specific cooling sensation and the high-shine finish that seems to last for hours. As someone living in Malaysia, I am used to seeing cool products launch in the US and feeling a bit left out. I kept asking myself: Is a lip treatment really worth the cost of international shipping?

After seeing the thousandth video of someone with glass-like lips, I caved. We all know that Topicals products are known for being effective for skin barriers, and this minty version of their salve promised to be the perfect hybrid of treatment and gloss. I decided to check out the latest us trends to see if there were any other must-haves I should bundle with it.

Why we cannot get Topicals directly in Malaysia

The biggest frustration for us is that Topicals remains a US-exclusive brand for many of its new drops. If you try to checkout on most US retail sites with a Malaysian credit card or shipping address, you often hit a wall.

I found that many stores simply do not offer direct shipping to our region, or if they do, the costs are astronomical.

My experience using a freight forwarder to shop US stores

Since I could not buy it directly, I turned to a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. I have used comGateway before for tech gadgets, so I knew they could provide me with a tax-free us address in Oregon. This is a huge win because it means I do not have to pay US sales tax on my purchase, which saves a few dollars right off the bat.

I used their package forwarding service to receive my Slick Salve at their warehouse.

For those who find US checkout screens confusing, you can even use a proxy shopping service where they buy for me, making the whole thing hands-free.

Shipping Estimates and Box Details

I know many of you are worried about how much it costs to move such a small item across the globe. To help you plan, here is what I found when I looked at the international shipping rates for this specific item.

I highly recommend using the shipping calculator before you buy. If you are only getting one tube, the shipping fees might seem high, so I usually wait until I have a few items to forward packages as a single consolidated shipment. This lowers the cost per item significantly.

How I handled the import tax and customs

One thing we always have to watch out for in Malaysia is the import tax. Currently, in 2026, the de minimis threshold for Malaysia is still around RM500. As long as your total shipment value (including shipping) stays below this, you usually do not get hit with extra duties. However, if you are splurging on a whole skincare haul, Read more: Urgent warning for Malaysian skincare fans who save RM150 on Topicals Slick Salve Mint by ordering from US sources.

I checked the international shipping rates and opted for a standard courier. While you can choose DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping for speed, I found that the standard options provided by my freight forwarder were plenty fast for a lip balm.

My final verdict on the Slick Salve Mint

So, was it worth it? My lips have never felt more hydrated, and the minty scent is incredibly refreshing in our humid Malaysian weather. While the logistics take a bit of planning, using a freight forwarder makes it possible to access these US exclusives without needing a friend living in the States. If you are a skincare enthusiast, I say go for it—just be smart and bundle your items to save on those international shipping costs!
