Does it say who’s making them?
Another thing, you have just stumbled upon why I have little time for a lot of marketing hype, which many do believe that seems to more or less end up becoming a form of confirmation bias. Fact-checking as you appear have done, often completely ignored.

It just says made in the EU, ive seen people on facebook asking the question as to who makes the detergent, but smol suspiciously seem to dodge answering and will respond with a generic answer such as all our products are made in the EU to the highest standard.

You speak my launguage, yes even down to the type of laundry detergent you use, is now part of the conformity culture, yet no one questions or thinks logically about anything these days, just as long as its popular they will use it.
I think alot of smols success is down to its pushy online persence on social media platforms and the herd mentality that goes with it, if smol where selling their laundry detergent in tescos I doubt many people would actually buy it or claim to love it as much as they claim on facebook, I have used it and to be completely honest its seriously over rated on every level, it dosent even smell that good either and I dont consider it to be a innovative product. It never has actually won any awards for its laundry detergent unlike ariel has.
I think some people also buy it because its “cruelty free” and is not tested on animals, when the fact is no detergent these days is tested on animals or use amimal ingredients, if the likes of ariel or persil used animal derivied ingredients in every bottle of laundry liquid they sold, then the world would have no animals left, but yet if smol are claiming that the manufacturers of Ariel and Persil use amimal cruelty in order to sell their products, why are smol using the exact same chemicals that are supposedly being derived through “animal cruelty”

DonBut surely I should be allowed to post an opinion or topic of debate on relation to detergents used in the same appliances, without hindrance, its the internet after all I shouldnt be told what i can vent or what I cant !
Im sick and tired of this attitude on the Internet nowadays where no one is allowed to write anything on the sole basis someone else discredits the relevance of their post or dosent like or disagrees with what they have posted !
Freedom of expression, opinion and debate…….
