Milk paint and mineral paint: the eco-friendly choice

What milk paint is

This is an old type of paint used since ancient Egypt. It comes in a powder made of casein, pigments, and lime. You mix it with water and apply it with a brush or a roller.

• Non-toxic: It has no VOCs or solvents. It works well for kids' rooms.
• Full matte: The finish looks deep and feels like velvet.
• Easy to fix: It is a good pick for old furniture.
• Ages well: It creates a natural patina over time.
