I saved money importing the Bubble Skincare Solar Mate SPF 50 Jumbo 100ml to the UK

June 11, 2026

The math behind Jumbo skincare

I always look at the price per milliliter before I buy any SPF. In the United Kingdom, we usually only have access to the 50ml bottles of Bubble Skincare Solar Mate. Those smaller bottles cost significantly more when you realize how quickly you go through them in the summer of 2026. I found that the new Jumbo 100ml edition, released just last week in the US, offers much better value. Even with the cost of a freight forwarder, the price per ml drops by nearly 30% compared to buying two separate 50ml bottles locally.

My social media feed has been full of this specific mineral sunscreen because it leaves no white cast on my skin. The 100ml Jumbo Edition is currently a US exclusive. While the UK market is still catching up, I didn't want to wait months for a local release that might be overpriced. I decided to shop US store sites like the official Bubble website to get the 2026 value size immediately. We are seeing a massive trend where US brands release these 'Pro' or 'Jumbo' sizes to reward loyal customers, and I wanted in on that math.

How I shipped from the US to the UK

I used comGateway to facilitate the purchase. Since most US retailers don't ship this specific edition directly to London, I needed a tax-free US address to collect my order. I followed their how it works step-by-step guide to set up my suite. Once the Solar Mate arrived at the warehouse, I used their package forwarding service to send it home. I also made sure to check the prohibited items list before ordering. Thankfully, mineral sunscreens are generally fine for international shipping, though I always check for restricted goods updates twice a year.

Shipping Estimates for Solar Mate 100ml

I used the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before I hit the buy button. Here is what I found for a single Jumbo bottle:

Box WeightApprox. 0.4 kg (including outer mailer)
Box DimensionsSmall (Approx. 18 x 10 x 8 cm)
Volumetric WarningNone. This item is dense and small, so you won't be charged extra for large volume.
Battery CheckNo batteries. This is a topical cream.

If you want to maximize your savings, I recommend adding more items to your shipment. I usually bundle my SPF with other US-only releases to lower the average international shipping service fee per item.

UK import and delivery details

For my United Kingdom delivery, I kept the total order value under the current 2026 threshold to simplify customs. The United Kingdom delivery process was straightforward once the package cleared the hub. I tracked my forward packages through the dashboard until they arrived at my door in Manchester. If you are looking to buy from US ship to United Kingdom, using a freight forwarder is the most reliable way to get these exclusive sizes that brands haven't launched globally yet.
