About Natural Earth Paint

Natural Earth Paint creates truly non-toxic, plant-based art supplies — paints, pigments, mediums, varnishes, and kits that perform like conventional materials without the toxic chemistry. Pigments are sourced from small family-owned quarries around the world (USA, France, Italy), and packaging is 100% post-consumer recycled.

The brand operates from a solar-powered facility in Southern Oregon with wind-powered packaging, holds Gold certification from Green America, and donates a portion of profits to One Tree Planted, Rogue River Keeper, and other environmental organizations. Products are assembled in Canada for the Canadian distribution market.

Third-party tested, certified completely non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free. Free of fillers, synthetic preservatives, heavy metals, and the petrochemicals that dominate most paint manufacturing. A different way to make art.
