Foaming Handwash refill cheat sheet:
- Quick and easy (takes just a few minutes)
- Done with tiny refill tablets
- Designed for bottles-for-life (plastic or aluminium)
- Available in four fragrances
- A simple way to use less plastic and less carbon
- No shaking or stirring required
Refilling your handwash bottle might sound like effort.
But when you’ve done it once… you’ll wonder why all handwash isn’t made this way.
Because instead of buying a new plastic bottle every time, and throwing the old one away… you’re just topping up the bottle-for-life you already have.
Less waste. Less fuss. Lots more foam.
How to refill your Foaming Handwash bottle.
1. Fill with water.
Unscrew the pump and fill your bottle with 300ml warm (not hot) water. On our recycled plastic bottles that’s up to just under the grip line. Our recycled aluminium bottles also have a fill line you can use.
Really hot or boiling water isn’t needed and can damage our recycled plastic bottles-for-life.
2. Drop in your tablet.
Pop in your refill tablet. No measuring needed and no spills or mess.
3. Leave it to dissolve.
Screw the pump back on and leave it to dissolve for about one hour.
No shaking. No stirring. Just let it do its thing.
4. Pump and go.
Twist the pump to unlock if necessary, then give it a press… and you’re ready to go.
Clean hands at the ready.
Tiny tablet. Big difference.
Traditional liquid handwash is mostly water.
Which means you’re shipping heavy bottles again and again… only to throw them away when they’re empty.
smol does things differently with tiny refill tablets:
You add the water at home and reuse your bottle-for-life.
- Less plastic waste
- Less unnecessary shipping weight
- Lower carbon emissions
In fact, smol Foaming Handwash has 89% lower carbon emissions than traditional liquid handwash¹.
Choose your scent.
Refilling is simple. But now it’s also a bit more fun.
smol Foaming Handwash comes in four fragrances, so you can choose the one that suits your mood:
- Sea Breeze. The original. Refreshing sea salt and sandalwood
- Cucumber & Rose (Sensitive). Calming, delicate and dewy
- Pomegranate & Rhubarb. Juicy and vibrant
- Vanilla & Pear. Bougie, smooth and indulgent
So every refill isn’t just practical, it smells great too.
Pick your bottle.
Your bottle is designed to last. So it should look good doing it.
You can choose from recycled plastic bottles-for-life or recycled aluminium bottles in a range of colours which also means your sink can match your style!
Why refill instead of replace?
Refilling might seem like a small change. But it soon adds up.
Each refill tablet saves around 35g of plastic compared with a typical single-use handwash bottle¹. And because you’re not shipping water around the country, you’re cutting carbon too.
So every time you refill, you’re making a small switch that has a bigger impact over time.
