Did you know common paint can be a cause of many health issues? Do you get headaches or dizziness after painting? That’s because many common paints out there contain VOC’s (volatile organic compounds which can off gas and lead to long-term health issues. But guess what – there is a solution!

Non-toxic paints are free from harmful chemicals like volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which helps create a cleaner, healthier indoor environment. Here are a few of my favorite:

• ECOS paints – are zero-VOC and this brand is certainly the most popular acrylic paint for the chemically sensitive.
• Benjamin Moore – there are two products that are zero-VOC and low odor:
  • ben – Available in 3,500+ unmatchable colors
  • Eco Spec – Eco Spec^® is their “greenest” interior premium paint. With zero VOCs and zero emissions, Eco Spec® is the perfect choice when an environmentally responsible paint is required and is tinted with Benjamin Moore’s proprietary Gennex^® zero VOC colorant system.
• Sherwin Williams – SuperPaint – Thanks to innovative technology and a zero VOC formula, SuperPaint® with Air Purifying Technology* contributes to better indoor air quality by reducing VOC levels from potential sources like carpet, cabinets and fabrics. It also helps rooms stay fresher, longer, with odor eliminating technology that breaks down unwanted household odors. 

By eliminating harmful toxins, non-toxic paints reduce respiratory irritation, making them a great choice for individuals with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. Non-toxic paints are especially important in homes with children and pets, as they minimize the risk of exposure to harmful substances that can affect growth and development. With a few simple tweaks, you’ll be on your way to a healthier home!
