Sourcing the Glossier Strawberry OG Formula from the US for French fans

Understanding the return of the Glossier Strawberry OG Formula

Glossier made waves in early 2026 by officially reinstating the original lanolin and beeswax-based formula for its beloved Balm Dotcom. After a brief period of selling a vegan alternative that received mixed reviews from long-time fans, the 2026 OG Formula is back. Specifically, the Strawberry flavor has become a viral sensation due to its perfect red tint and nostalgic scent. While this product is currently out of stock or unavailable in many international markets, including France, it remains readily available on the Glossier US website.

Buy It For Me

Just a moment, securing your connection...

Beauty enthusiasts in France are looking for ways to bypass these regional shortages. Since Glossier prioritizes its domestic US inventory, using a freight forwarder is the most efficient method to secure the strawberry balm before it disappears from the shelves again.

Shipping logistics and package estimates

When planning your purchase, understanding the physical profile of the shipment helps you manage costs. Below are the estimated logistics details for a standard order of Glossier Balm Dotcom tubes.

Because these items are very light, it is often smarter to consolidate multiple tubes or shop from other US brands at the same time. You can use a shipping calculator to see how adding more items affects your total landed cost in France.

Ordering from the Glossier US store from France

Buying directly from the US requires a localized shipping point. By using comGateway, you get a tax-free US address located in Oregon. This ensures you do not pay US sales tax on your Glossier purchase, saving you money before the item even leaves the country.

Once your Balm Dotcom arrives at the warehouse, you can choose your preferred courier. Reviewing the international shipping rates beforehand allows you to select between express delivery or more economical options depending on how quickly you want your Strawberry OG Formula to arrive in Paris, Lyon, or elsewhere in France.

Consolidating your beauty haul

If you are only buying one tube of balm, the shipping cost per item is higher. Experts suggest shopping across multiple US retailers and using a parcel forwarding service to combine them into a single box. This significantly reduces the base fee for international transit.

Managing French import duties and VAT

When importing goods into France from outside the European Union, you must account for local regulations. Items shipped from the US are subject to French VAT (TVA), which is typically 20%. Depending on the total value of your package, you might also encounter import duties.

Using a transparent service helps you avoid surprises at the border. You can check the FAQ for specific details on how to declare your items correctly for French customs. Properly declaring your "Glossier Strawberry Balm Dotcom (2026 OG Formula)" ensures a smooth transition through Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport and onto your doorstep.

Setting up your international delivery process

Following a step-by-step guide makes the process straightforward. First, register for your US address. Second, shop on the Glossier US site and enter that address at checkout. Finally, when the package arrives at the warehouse, notify the provider to ship it to France.

Check our guide on customs tax if you are planning a larger haul of US cosmetics. This ensures your 2026 beauty routine stays within budget while giving you access to the formulas that are currently unavailable in French retail stores.
