Interested in revamping your walls with a fabulous new paint job? Great idea! Painting your walls can be one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to completely transform your space. However, the composition of conventional paints are not always as pretty as the shades they offer. Many paint brands use toxic ingredients that can emit VOCs (volatile organic compounds) into your home environment. These compounds can be harmful to your health and to that of your loved ones.

On the other hand, some paints marketed as “natural” and “safe” will still contain animal-derived ingredients like milk protein or beeswax. These ingredients, at the end of the day, are not a very sustainable alternative if you factor in the effect of their production on our planet.

So, if you want to find a totally eco-friendly, non-toxic, and vegan wall paint to beautify your home, check out the incredible recommendations mentioned below!
