Earthborn:
Should doing
what’s right be at the expense of quality and style? Earthborn don’t think so! That’s
why they’re dedicated to creating paints perfect for home decorators, interior
designers and trade folk that are better for the planet, your home and your
health. So, the most important choice you have to make is which of the designer
paint colours you fancy. Since Earthborn was founded in 2002, they have been
looking for a true eco alternative to conventional paints, long before most
people had even heard of ‘eco’. What makes their paints different is the high
quality and high performance; the result of carefully selecting the right
environmentally friendly ingredients and using technologically advanced
manufacturing processes and formulations. You'll find a full list of
ingredients on their tins to help you make a more informed choice. They have
been awarded the first UK licence of the EU Ecolabel for indoor paints and varnishes.
