smol aluminium bottles

your worktop just got hotter.


You asked. We delivered. And now your cleaning squad has levelled up.


smol’s everyday heroes are available in show-stopping 500ml aluminium bottles.



These bottles are 100% recycled aluminium, designed to last a lifetime, and frankly? They look so good, your plates, stains and sinks are about to feel underdressed.


This is what impact looks like: on your kitchen, your clothes, your bathroom, and yes… on the planet.

alu-minimalism.


It’s alu-minimalism with maximum planet points.


  • 95% less energy to make than virgin aluminium.¹
  • In one life-cycle comparison, glass bottles produced about 95% more global warming impact than aluminium..²
  • Similar energy footprint to recycled plastic… just a very different look.


And of course, unlike plastic, aluminium can be recycled infinitely without ever losing quality.


So every time you refill, you’re cutting carbon, cutting waste, and keeping your bottle living its best (and final boss) life.

  • Fabric conditioner: 76% lower carbon emissions vs leading brand.³
  • Stain gel & washing up liquid: refill with our cardboard cartons for 43% lower carbon emissions than even recycled plastic bottles.⁴


So yes, it’s a bottle drop for your worktop… but it’s also a bottle drop for the planet.

aluminium cleaning bottle FAQs.


can I get an aluminium bottle for handwash too?

Yes! Our foaming handwash now comes in 300ml aluminium bottles in 4 stylish shades: Petal, Honey, Slate & Pistachio. Match your vibe and keep the refill love going.


do I have to switch to aluminium?

No. Our recycled plastic bottles-for-life are still here and just as refillable. Aluminium is simply a different option if you fancy it.



are aluminium bottles recyclable?

Absolutely. Aluminium is infinitely recyclable without ever losing quality. But honestly? These bottles have hit final boss status. They’re yours for life.



what about pumps and triggers?

Good news: your current smol pumps and triggers fit our aluminium bottles perfectly. Keep spares on hand and refill forever.



why not glass bottles? 

Glass looks lovely, but it’s not quite the superhero we need. It’s heavier to ship (meaning higher carbon emissions) and way more smash-prone. Aluminium, on the other hand, is lighter, tougher, and infinitely recyclable without losing quality. Plus, these bottles are built to last, so once they’re on your sink or shelf, they’re staying put.
