Key Values
Milk paint is a re-creation of an ancient homemade formula, used for centuries before the introduction of commercially made latex paints. Milk paint is the most durable paint available on porous surfaces, meaning its colour will not fade over time. It can be sealed with Old Fashioned Milk Paint's flat varnish, wax, or oil.
As milk paint contains only natural ingredients such as milk protein, lime and earth pigments, it is completely non-toxic, baby-safe, food-safe and biodegradable.

The primary materials used in the milk paint are Casein (milk proteins), lime, and earth pigments. This means that the paint they make is eco friendly, non-toxic, VOC-free, food-safe, and biodegradable, and it contains no chemicals, preservatives, fungicides, hydrocarbons or any other petroleum derivatives. Milk paint is known to be one of the world’s most durable paints, meaning it won’t chip or peel, and its rich colour won’t fade over time. Milk paint is perfect to use for those with chemical sensitivities, or even for your children’s toys.
Milk Paint arrives in a powder form, ready to be mixed with water to be activated. This comes in a resealable bag, which can be recycled when the paint is used up. This ensures minimal wastage when painting projects, and you can be sure the paint isn’t dried up when you come to touch it up!
