Why I source the Supergoop! Glowscreen Sunrise Edition from the US instead of waiting for EU retailers

The 2026 Sunrise Edition Hype
I noticed a massive surge in interest for the Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 (Sunrise Edition) as soon as it hit the US market this spring. For those of us in the Netherlands, the struggle is familiar. While we have plenty of SPF options, the specific glowy, pearlescent finish of the Sunrise shade is currently a US-exclusive. European regulators often take months, if not years, to approve new formulations that are already staples in the states. I didn't want to wait until 2027 to see this on local shelves.
The Sunrise Edition offers a warmer, more golden undertone than the original 'Sunrise' or 'Champagne' iterations, making it a favorite for the early 2026 spring season. Because I follow us trends closely, I knew I had to find a way to get it shipped to Amsterdam immediately.
Buying from US Stores via comGateway
My first step was securing a reliable way to get the product out of the US. I use comGateway as my primary freight forwarder. They provide a tax-free us address in Oregon, which is a massive win because it means I don't pay any US sales tax on my purchase from retailers like Sephora or the official Supergoop site.
If you are new to this, the how it works section on their site gives a clear step-by-step guide on how to set up your account. Once I had my suite number, I could shop us store sites just like a local resident. I simply entered my Oregon address at checkout, and the package was on its way to the warehouse.
Using BuyForMe to Avoid Order Cancellations
I've had several instances where US beauty retailers blocked my Dutch credit card or flagged my order because I was using a known forwarding address. This is a common hurdle for international shoppers. To bypass this, I used the BuyForMe service.
We found that some stores are increasingly strict about international payment methods. With BuyForMe, I provide the link to the Glowscreen Sunrise Edition, and the comGateway team purchases it using a US-based payment card. It is the most secure way I've found to guarantee an order doesn't get cancelled at the last minute. It removes the headache of dealing with payment gateway errors and ensures the product actually reaches the warehouse.
Shipping Estimates for the Netherlands
When I ship skincare, I always look at the weight to keep costs down. Here is my breakdown for shipping a standard tube of Supergoop! Glowscreen to the Netherlands via an international shipping service.
| Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.25 kg (0.5 lbs) including packaging. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (e.g., 15cm x 10cm x 5cm). |
| Volumetric Warning | Low. Skincare tubes are dense and small; you won't be penalized for volume. |
| Battery Check | None. This product contains no lithium batteries. |
I recommend using the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before you commit. Since the item is so light, I usually wait to buy a few other items to consolidate my shipment, which significantly lowers the per-item cost.
Import Duties and Netherlands VAT
When the package arrives in the Netherlands, it will be subject to local regulations. I always factor in import duties and the standard Dutch VAT (typically 21%). Since the value of a single tube of Glowscreen is relatively low, you might stay under certain duty thresholds, but VAT is almost always applicable.
I suggest checking the customs tax guidelines to see how much you'll owe upon arrival. If you have more questions about the process, the FAQ section on the website covers most scenarios regarding support and international logistics. My experience has been that even with the added import tax, getting the Sunrise Edition early is worth the small premium for the quality of the US formulation.
