Snagging the OG Strawberry Glossier Balm Dotcom for India delivery since is the vegan version even worth it?

Understanding why the OG Strawberry Balm is trending again

It is February 2026, and the beauty community is still buzzing about one specific tube: the Glossier Balm Dotcom in Strawberry. While Glossier transitioned to a vegan formula a few years back, the feedback was loud and clear—fans missed the original lanolin-based texture. In response, the brand brought back the "OG Formula" specifically for the Strawberry launch in the US.

More about shipping to India

For shoppers in India, there is a bit of a hurdle. The local or international stock available in nearby regions often still consists of the vegan version. If you want that thick, protective, lanolin-rich glow, you have to source it directly from the United States. This viral return has led to a massive surge in international orders, as beauty enthusiasts realize that the US store is the only reliable place to find the classic formula.

Getting the US formula from India

Since Glossier doesn't offer direct shipping to India, you will need to use a freight forwarder to bridge the gap. By signing up for comGateway, you get access to a tax-free us address. This allows you to shop the US Glossier store just like a local resident would, avoiding state sales taxes that usually apply to domestic orders.

Once your Balm Dotcom arrives at your US address, you can then forward packages directly to your home in India. It is a simple step-by-step guide: shop, ship to your proxy address, and then authorize the final international leg of the journey.

Shipping Estimates for your Glossier haul

If you are planning to order just the balm or perhaps a three-pack (the "Balm Roulette"), here is what you should expect for the logistics side of things:

• Box Weight: Approx. 0.2 kg (0.4 lbs) for a small mailer containing 1-3 tubes.
• Box Dimensions: Very Small (Typically 6" x 4" x 2" or similar padded mailer).
• Volumetric Warning: Because lip balms are small and dense, you do not need to worry about volumetric weight. You will only be charged based on the actual weight of the package.
• Battery Check: This product does not contain lithium batteries, so there are no special hazardous material fees or restrictions for air travel.

To get a more precise idea of the cost to Mumbai, Delhi, or Bangalore, you can use the shipping calculator. This tool helps you estimate shipping cost before you even place your order at the store.

Using BuyForMe for a guaranteed purchase

One common frustration when shopping from major US brands like Glossier, Sephora, or Nike is that they sometimes block international credit cards. Even if you have a US shipping address, the store might cancel the order if the billing address doesn't match a US-issued card. Some stores are also known to decline orders sent to known package forwarding centers.

The solution to this problem is the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. Instead of you struggling with a declined card, you simply tell us what you want to buy. We use our domestic US credit cards to purchase the item on your behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled and ensures those limited-edition Strawberry balms actually make it to your doorstep. You pay us, and we handle the store transaction entirely.

Managing import taxes and customs in India

When your package arrives in India, it will be subject to import duties and GST/VAT. Cosmetics often fall under a specific tax bracket, so it is wise to be prepared for these additional costs. Check our guide on customs tax to understand how the Indian customs department evaluates personal shipments.

You can always check the help center for the latest updates on restricted items or specific documentation required by Indian authorities. Most users find that even with the international shipping rates and taxes, getting the OG formula is worth it compared to using the vegan version available locally.
