Why the 2026 Glossier SPF 50 reformulation is on my list

I have been waiting for Glossier to update their sunscreen formula for years, and the 2026 US-exclusive release of the Invisible Shield SPF 50 is finally here. For those of us in the Netherlands, getting our hands on this high-potency formula is a challenge because it is currently only available on the US storefront. The new formula has been trending because it maintains that classic clear gel texture while bumping the protection up to SPF 50, a significant upgrade from the previous SPF 35 version.

I noticed that local resellers are already trying to charge double the retail price. By buying directly from the US, I can ensure I am getting the authentic 2026 batch rather than old stock. However, since Glossier doesn't ship this specific product directly to Amsterdam or Rotterdam, I have to use a freight forwarder to bridge the gap.

My method for buying US-exclusive products from the Netherlands

Whenever I want to shop US store selections that aren't available locally, I use a package forwarding service. This gives me a tax-free US address which I can use at checkout. I personally use comGateway because they provide a reliable way to manage my purchases before they are sent across the Atlantic.

Using a freight forwarder is much more cost-effective than waiting for a European release that might never happen. Plus, when I ship multiple items at once, the cost per item drops significantly. I always check the shipping calculator before I place my order to see if I should add a few more items to my cart to maximize the shipping weight.

How I avoid order cancellations with the BuyForMe service

One of the biggest hurdles I faced when I first started shopping from US sites like Glossier, Sephora, or Nike was the dreaded order cancellation. Many US retailers are notorious for blocking international credit cards or flagging addresses associated with a parcel forwarding service. It is incredibly frustrating to see a "Payment Declined" email an hour after placing an order.

My solution for this is the BuyForMe service. This is a proxy shopping feature where the team at comGateway actually buys the items for me using a US-based payment method. I simply provide the product links, and they handle the transaction. This is the safest way to guarantee that my order for the 2026 Invisible Shield doesn't get cancelled by the merchant's automated fraud filters. If you have ever had trouble with a US store declining your Dutch bank card, I highly recommend using this assisted purchase option. You can find more details about how to set this up in the support section.

Calculating the math: Shipping costs and import tax

When I ship beauty products to the Netherlands, I have to be mindful of the import tax and VAT. Since 2021, the EU has removed the VAT exemption for low-value goods, so I expect to pay 21% VAT on my Glossier haul. I always factor this into my budget so there are no surprises when the package hits Dutch customs.

While the prices look similar, the advantage of international shipping via a forwarder is that I can bundle other US-only deals. If I add a few more items, my DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping rates become much more efficient. You can read more about how to manage these costs in this guide on import duties.

My step-by-step process for international shipping

If you want to try this yourself, here is my personal how it works checklist for 2026:

• Step 1: Log into my comGateway account to get my US shipping address.
• Step 2: Use the BuyForMe service to submit my Glossier order request. This avoids any credit card issues.
• Step 3: Once the SPF arrives at the warehouse, I check the weight and use the shipping calculator to decide on my preferred carrier.
• Step 4: I select a fast shipping option like FedEx international shipping to ensure the sunscreen ingredients stay fresh and aren't sitting in a hot warehouse for too long.
• Step 5: Pay the import tax through the carrier's portal once it arrives in the Netherlands and wait for my delivery.

If you have questions about specific restricted items, I suggest checking the FAQ before you buy. I have found this to be the most reliable way to stay stocked up on the best US skincare without relying on overpriced local imports.
