Painting your home using Eco-friendly paint is not good for the environment only, but it is essential for a non-toxic environment at home as well. Children are affected more than adults by bacteria at home, and are more prone to get all kinds of infections.

Eco-friendly paint, or what is also known as “Green Friendly Paint”, has low VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and no toxic biocides.

VOCs are known to cause headaches, dizziness and, can also be toxic, in some cases.

It is better to decrease the amount of these chemicals at home as much as possible, and we are giving you the first thing you can eliminate: Paints containing them.

Children are very sensitive to VOCs. So imagine what the situation would be like if these chemicals exist where your kids spend most of their time; in bedrooms or playroom.

EarthTimes website mentions that Traditional paint is known to give off fumes. They are mostly toxic and can be detrimental to your health, especially if you suffer from respiratory diseases and/or a wide variety of other health issues.

Choosing a non-toxic type of paint that has been specially produced to reduce or eliminate the level of toxins is a sensible option for anyone. You can also reduce the risk of causing new allergies to form, as well as the risk of asthma developing in young children. In addition, you can help to reduce the presence of carcinogenic poisons in your home.

Added to that, we need to eliminate the amount of pollution in our environment; The petrochemicals involved in the creation of traditional paints can be harmful when thrown away irresponsibly.

You can reduce the amount of fumes released into the atmosphere during the creation of the paint, by using naturally based materials.

With non-toxic paint, the minerals and organic matter can be harvested in a way that sustains our environment for the future.
