Save €22 on the Topicals Slick Salve Mint variant by skipping the markup from Dutch resellers

Why the Topicals Mint Slick Salve is viral in 2026

The obsession with the Topicals Slick Salve Mint variant hasn't slowed down since it first appeared on TikTok. Beauty enthusiasts in the US have been flaunting that specific "glass-skin" finish for lips that other balms just can't replicate. It is currently one of the most popular products in the US skincare market, especially because the mint version provides a refreshing tingle alongside its high-shine barrier repair formula.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

For those of us in the Netherlands, seeing these US-exclusive drops can be frustrating. Local boutiques often don't carry the mint variant, or if they do, the price tag is inflated beyond belief. Save €22 on your total order by sourcing it directly from the US instead of waiting for a European stockist to mark it up by 150%.

The common myth about shipping US skincare to the Netherlands

There is a recurring rumor on Dutch beauty forums that getting US-exclusive skincare like Topicals is either impossible or will cost a fortune in hidden fees. Many shoppers assume that US brands won't ship to a freight forwarder or that the package will simply get lost in the Atlantic. This is a misconception that keeps people from getting the products they actually want.

In reality, using a tax-free US address allows you to shop just like a local. By sending your Slick Salve to a warehouse in a tax-free state like Oregon, you avoid US sales tax entirely, which already starts your savings before the item even leaves the continent.

How to shop US stores from Amsterdam or Rotterdam

To get your hands on this minty balm, you typically need to visit the official Topicals website or a major US retailer like Sephora. Once you have your US address from comGateway, you simply enter that as your shipping destination. You might also like to check out other us trends to bundle with your lip balm to make the most of your international shipping credit.

Shipping Estimates and Logistics Breakdown

Before you hit the checkout button, it is helpful to know exactly what you are dealing with in terms of package size. Small items like lip balms are the most cost-effective things to ship internationally because they take up almost no space.

To get a precise idea of what the trip to your doorstep will cost, you can use the shipping calculator. This tool helps you plan your budget so there are no surprises when the package arrives in the Netherlands.

Using the BuyForMe service to beat store blocks

One of the biggest hurdles for Dutch shoppers is the dreaded "cancelled order" email. Some US stores, including major beauty retailers, often block international credit cards or refuse to ship to addresses they recognize as logistics hubs. If you have tried to use your Dutch card and found the transaction declined, you aren't alone.

The safest way to ensure your order goes through is the BuyForMe service. With this proxy shopping option, comGateway uses a US-based payment method to purchase the Topicals Slick Salve on your behalf. This eliminates the risk of your order being flagged by automated security systems that dislike foreign billing addresses. It is a seamless assisted purchase that guarantees you get your viral mint balm without the headache.

Understanding Netherlands import tax and VAT

When the package enters the Netherlands, it will be subject to local regulations. Since 2021, the VAT exemption for small parcels has been removed, meaning you will likely need to pay the standard 21% VAT on your purchase. However, because a lip balm is low in value, you usually won't hit the threshold for heavy import tax duties which typically apply to items over €150.

Keep in mind that PostNL or your chosen courier might charge a small handling fee for processing the import tax. Check our guide on GST/VAT for more specific details on how to handle these payments efficiently so your package doesn't get stuck at Schiphol. By calculating these costs ahead of time, you still end up paying significantly less than the €40+ prices found on resale sites.
