Who are we?
Smileat is a Spanish company that was founded in 2015 by two entrepreneurs, Alberto and Javi, with the vision of revolutionizing the world of baby food with 100% ecological and sustainable alternatives.
Our history
It was the year 2015 in Madrid, and Alberto, who had not yet turned 30 and had just become an uncle for the first time, received a call from someone very close who had been diagnosed with a disease that really sucks.
At that moment his life changed and his head began to wonder, "Could it be because of what we eat?"
During a visit outside of Spain, there were countless healthy alternatives for the little ones, especially focused on organic food. So, he called Javier, his lifelong friend from school, and they set out to explore healthy alternatives for the little ones in Spain.

Our commitment
In that year 2015, while there were already organic foods for adults, it was mission impossible to find something of the same standard in the children's aisle of supermarkets.
"The idea was not really more than a necessary solution: our little ones were crying out for help .
So, Smileat was born with three clear and crucial principles: that nutrition is crucial for our health; that chemicals, fertilizers, hormones, and residues are not beneficial; and that we can avoid all of this with organic food and sustainable packaging.

In that year 2015 - while there were already organic foods for adults - in the children's aisle of supermarkets it was mission impossible to find anything up to par.
The idea was, in fact, nothing more than a necessary solution: our kids were crying out for help . At that time Alberto and Javier were living outside Spain but decided to leave everything to set up Smileat.

Smileat is B CORP
We are the first B Corp certified company in organic baby food in Spain.
B Corp is a movement made up of companies from different countries that work with a single objective: We use our company to create positive impact. Unlike companies that only pursue economic goals, B Corps meet high standards of social and environmentalimpact, public transparency and legal accountability.
Explained in our words:
We strive to provide quality products that benefit both the little ones and the planet. Moreover, our focus goes beyond just having a good product; we also consider our workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment in our decision-making process. Being 100% organic is of no use if you do not leave a positive impact on the planet and everything around you.
In essence, at Smileat, we want to change the world. We constantly innovate to revolutionize all the products in the infant nutrition market while taking care of the little ones. They are the future, and it's in our hands to provide them with the most positive impact possible, nutritionally, environmentally, and socially.
Our family
We can proudly say that Smileat has led the change in the category in every way. Today we are the 2nd brand in market share in the organic baby food sector, the best-selling Spanish brand in its category and one of the fastest growing online.
To achieve this, we have a dynamic, young, unconventional team that is passionate about nutrition and sustainability.
