What is "eco paint"?

earthBorn’s eco paint range is a specially-formulated set of decorating products. By carefully selecting ingredients and using advanced manufacturing processes and formulations, we create outstanding products that protect your health and the environment simultaneously.

Conventional paints can release harmful compounds into the air. These chemicals are known to be harmful to health and the environment - not to mention very smelly! They have been found to make allergies such as asthma and chest complaints worse; they can also be a cause of ‘sick building syndrome’.

earthBorn eco paint is completely free from these Volatile Organic Compounds – some people refer to this as “VOC free”. They are also low-odour and free from other harmful chemicals such as acrylic softeners.

Why Should I Use earthBorn Eco Paint?

earthBorn interior wall and ceiling paints reduce the build up of dust and allergens. This is good for people with asthma and sensitive skin, as well as staying cleaner for longer.

earthBorn eco paint is durable. It is long lasting and hardwearing on walls or wood work, inside or out.

earthBorn paint is the only UK paint brand licensed to carry the prestigious EU Eco-Label - as indicated by the Flower symbol. This accreditation is only awarded to products that meet the strict environmentally friendly criteria of the EU ecolabelling scheme. Many paints claim to be eco friendly, but without the Ecolabel there is no guarantee for the environmentally aware consumer.

earthBorn eco paints are also amongst the most breathable paints available. Breathability is increasingly recognised as a 'must have' property for most paint applications. A breathable paint helps balance the humidity in your home or the workplace. This makes for a more comfortable living environment and reduces the likelihood of condensation and as we all know condensation and high humidity encourage mildew and mould, especially in your kitchen and bathroom.

earthBorn is the leading brand of eco paint.

For wood and Ferrous metals:

ECOS gloss paints offer a completely unique range of decorative finishes. It's the only range of totally solvent-free paints available anywhere in the world today and has been independently tested to reveal 0.0% VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).

VOCs are a major contributor to low-level atmospheric pollution and the use of these compounds leads to global warming. In addition, the use of solvent-based paints is a major cause of Sick Building Syndrome, Danish Painter's Syndrome, Asthma, Allergies, Chemical Sensitivities and the general Flu-like symptoms reported by many people using conventional paints INCLUDING Matt and Silk wall paints!

Most paints currently on sale, both gloss and emulsion, contain solvents and VOCs. ECOS paints contain none.

As a result they are ideal for children's bedrooms, nurseries, kitchens and anywhere in the home, especially if you or a member of your family is chemically sensitive or suffers from asthma or allergies.

Using ECOS paints means that rooms are safe and pleasant to live in-play in-sleep in-eat in!
