My shortcut for getting the 2026 Tower 28 SunnyDays SPF to Switzerland with zero paperwork

The hype behind the 2026 reformulation

I noticed the Tower 28 Beauty 'SunnyDays' SPF 30 taking over my social feeds again this year. The 2026 reformulation has become a viral sensation in Korea specifically because they improved the zinc oxide dispersion. My skin usually reacts to mineral sunscreens, but this new version feels like a serum. It provides that clean beauty glow without the heavy white cast that older mineral formulas often leave behind. Since it is currently only available through US retailers, I had to find a way to get it to my door in Zurich without the usual logistical headache.

Why I had to buy from the US

As of May 2026, the updated 'SunnyDays' formula hasn't hit European shelves. I checked local boutiques and major EU retailers, but they are still clearing out 2025 stock. To get the new dispersion technology, I had to shop at US stores like Sephora or the official Tower 28 website. However, shipping directly from these stores to Switzerland is either impossible or incredibly expensive. I used comGateway to get a tax-free US address, which allowed me to shop just like a US resident.

Using BuyForMe to skip credit card declines

I ran into a common issue when I first tried to order: my Swiss credit card was declined. Many US beauty retailers block international payment methods or refuse to ship to known package forwarding warehouses. This is where I used the BuyForMe service. We simply tell the comGateway team what we want, and they purchase the items using a US domestic credit card. I found this to be the safest way to ensure my order didn't get cancelled immediately. It removed the stress of trying to trick a checkout system that wasn't designed for international shoppers.

Shipping estimates for Switzerland

I wanted to know exactly what I was getting into before I clicked buy. I used the shipping calculator to get a rough idea of the costs. Here is the breakdown for a standard order of two tubes of the SPF:

Since the item is so light, I combined it with a few other skincare picks to make the international shipping cost more efficient. If you have questions about specific items, I recommend checking the FAQ section on their site.

My experience with Swiss customs

Switzerland has specific rules for imports. I made sure to read up on import duties and VAT before my package arrived. In 2026, the threshold for duty-free imports still requires attention to the total value including shipping. By using a consolidator, I was able to manage the declarations easily. I didn't have to deal with complex paperwork because the forwarding service handles the digital manifest. It really is the lazy way to import goods without getting stuck in a back-and-forth with the customs office.

How I made it work

I followed a simple step-by-step guide provided on the site to get my package home. I first sent my Tower 28 order to my US address. Once it arrived, I received a notification and chose my preferred shipping speed to Switzerland. I didn't have to fill out any complicated export forms myself. The package arrived at my door in about five days. If you want the 2026 formula now rather than waiting for it to eventually show up in local stores, this is the most direct path I have found.
