Aluminium bottles cheat sheet:

  • You asked, we delivered: 100% recycled aluminium bottles are here.
  • 2 types: foaming handwash (4 colours) + 500ml bottles for your cleaning heroes.
  • Bottles with impact: gorgeous on your shelf, lighter on the planet.
  • Infinitely recyclable… but honestly? They’ve reached the peak of their career.

For years you’ve been asking us for more bottle choices… AND WOWZERS… your wish just levelled up.


Say hello to smol’s new aluminium bottles. 


They’re sleek, they’re sturdy, they’re made from 100% RECYCLED aluminium, and they’ve got impact written all over them.


No, they’re not replacing our existing recycled plastic bottles-for-life, they’re simply an option for anyone who wants that extra impact. 


Think of them as a glow-up: same refill system, new look, bigger WOW.

our bottles have impact.

Impact? 


Oh, they’ve got it. 


  • First, they’ll smack you right in the eyes (in a good way) for a worktop-wow every time you walk in the room. 
  • Second, they tread lightly on the planet. 100% recycled aluminium, lighter to ship than glass, infinitely recyclable. 


And while we’re on the topic… did you know recycled aluminium uses:


  • 95% LESS energy to produce than virgin aluminium¹
  • 90% LESS energy to produce than recycled glass²
  • A similar amount of energy to produce as recycled plastic³


Beautiful AND clever. What a bunch of show-offs.

the final boss.

These bottles are the final boss of packaging. Our aluminium has already done its job in many previous lives, and now, at the top of its career, it’s ready to stay in the spotlight as your bottle-for-life.

the 500ml heroes.

Aluminium just upgraded your everyday lineup. One bottle. Refillable forever. Built to last:

handwash; match your mood.

And as for our foaming handwash; it comes in 4 new shades to match your mood (or your tiles):

  • honey
  • pistachio
  • petal
  • slate

Mix them, match them, show them off. Because this is handwashing with impact.

FAQs about our aluminium bottles.

are these compulsory?

No. They’re an optional upgrade. If your current bottle-for-life works for you, keep using it. Aluminium is here to give choice to those who want it.


are they recyclable?

Yes. Aluminium is infinitely recyclable without losing quality. Ever. But honestly? These bottles have reached peak performance. They’re yours to keep for life and refill. No need for another glow-up.


what about pumps and triggers?

Pumps and triggers from our existing recycled plastic bottles-for-life fit perfectly onto our aluminium bottles, and spares are always handy! So if you’re thinking about getting these gorgeous new bottles but already have our plastic bottles-for-life, simply keep your triggers and pumps as spares. Our recycled plastic bottles-for-life are 100% recyclable.


Our bottles have impact: bold in your home, lighter on the planet. You asked, we delivered.
