The demand for the original Glossier formula in 2026

The beauty industry has observed a significant consumer pivot back to the lanolin-based Strawberry Balm Dotcom. While the vegan transition was intended to modernize the brand, the cult-following for the "Original Formula" remains the primary driver of market demand. In 2026, Glossier has officially brought back this non-vegan version, but its availability remains regionally restricted, primarily favoring the United States market.

For residents in the Netherlands, obtaining these specific iterations often requires the use of a freight forwarder to bridge the gap between US availability and European demand. The original formula is prized for its superior occlusion and texture, which many enthusiasts find superior to the alternatives currently available in local EU retailers.

Accessing US-exclusive Strawberry merch bundles

The current trend is amplified by the release of limited edition "Spring Merch" bundles. These packages include the Strawberry Balm Dotcom alongside US-only apparel, such as hoodies and embroidered hats. These items are typically not stocked in European distribution centers, making a tax-free us address a necessity for collectors. By using comGateway, shoppers can consolidate these high-demand items at a single point of exit before they undergo international shipping to the Netherlands.

Logistics and shipping estimates for the Netherlands

When planning a purchase from the US, the logistics of weight and volume determine the overall cost-efficiency. Below are the 2026 estimates for a typical Strawberry Merch bundle including the balm and a hoodie.

To get a precise figure based on your specific cart, you should utilize a shipping calculator. This ensures that the international shipping costs align with your budget before you finalize the purchase.

Overcoming payment hurdles with proxy shopping

A frequent obstacle for Dutch shoppers at US storefronts is the rejection of international credit cards. Many US retailers, including Glossier and major beauty hubs, often block transactions from non-US billing addresses or flagged parcel forwarding service hubs.

The BuyForMe service, often referred to as proxy shopping, provides a solution to this limitation. In this scenario, a US-based team handles the purchase using a domestic credit card, ensuring the order is processed without cancellation. This is the most reliable method for securing limited edition drops where stock disappears within hours. If you are unfamiliar with the logistics of this process, you can review our how it works guide for a clear breakdown.

Understanding import tax and customs in the Netherlands

Shipments entering the Netherlands from outside the European Union are subject to import tax (BTW) and potentially customs duties. For beauty products and apparel, the standard BTW rate is 21%. It is financially prudent to calculate these costs in advance to ensure the US procurement remains a smart shopper decision.

For further clarity on specific Dutch regulations, the FAQ section provides details on how to handle declarations. Partnering with a professional freight forwarder allows for better transparency in the shipping process, often utilizing reliable carriers like DHL or FedEx for secure delivery to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, or Utrecht.
