Handwashing is something we do without really thinking about it.
But the average person washes their hands between 5 and 10 times every day.¹
Which is why the handwash you use matters more than you might think. Something touching your skin this often should feel good on your hands as well as doing its job.
Which is exactly the thinking behind our new Cucumber & Rose sensitive Foaming Handwash.
It’s designed to be exceptionally gentle on skin, softly scented, yet still deliver the same brilliant cleaning smol customers already love.
Sensitive, not specialist.
When some brands say “sensitive”, it can feel a bit clinical; there’s no fragrance (and no personality). But we don’t think sensitive needs to mean boring.
And we definitely don’t think it should only be for people with skin sensitivities.
That’s why smol’s sensitive range is designed to be:
- Loved by anyone
- Kinder on skin by default
- Thoughtfully fragranced with gentle scents
- Carefully formulated for hardworking hands
Our sensitive range includes:
Scent to soothe.
Some of us love bright, vibrant fragrances. Others prefer something a little calmer.
That’s Cucumber & Rose. Calming, delicate and dewy. Imagine fresh cucumber with soft rose petals for a light botanical feel. It’s a fragrance that feels clean and gentle.
Because sensitive doesn’t have to mean fragrance-free.
Wonderfully kind on hands.
Of course, lovely fragrance is only part of the story.
Our sensitive Foaming Handwash is designed to feel great on your skin too. It’s:
- Dermatologically tested
- Exceptionally gentle on hands
- Effective at cleaning everyday dirt and bacteria
- A foaming handwash, so suds up easily and rinses quickly too.
- Which all means wonderfully clean hands without unnecessary harshness.
Refillable bottles-for-life.
Just like the rest of the smol Foaming Handwash range, our sensitive pick is designed to be refilled, not replaced.
Instead of throwing away plastic bottles again and again, you simply:
Starter packs begin from just £3 (+ P&P) and refills arrive straight to your door so you never run out.
Better still, each refill tablet saves around 35g of plastic compared with a typical single-use handwash bottle.²
Which means less plastic and a smarter, more sustainable way to wash your hands.
