About us…

smol is on a mission to change the face of consumer brands and businesses by bringing super effective, eco-friendly products at value-for-money prices. We believe everyone should be able to make easy swaps that are better for them, the planet, and their pockets.

Since launch, smol has taken UK household cleaning by storm. We are already the fastest growing and most positively reviewed brand in the laundry, dishwash, fabric conditioner and surface spray categories, and we've got so much more planned. Having received Series B investment in 2021 and B Corp certification at the end of 2023, our team is focused on combining fast growth with being a force for positive change and impact in all that we do. 

The latest step in our growth was launching France last year, and we're looking for an energetic and entrepreneurial team member to join us there for a 5-6 month maternity cover position, starting July!
