What exactly is Milk Paint?

It is one of the oldest paints in existence, used as far back as Ancient Egypt. It is prepared by mixing a powder (casein + pigments + lime) with water and can be applied with a brush or roller.

Advantages over plastic-based paints

  • VOC and solvent-free: safe for children's bedrooms.
  • Absolute matte finish: deep, almost velvety texture.
  • Reversible and repairable: ideal for antique furniture.
  • Patinas with elegance: it ages beautifully.
