Exclusive Formula
Real Milk Paint ® was developed in our antique restoration business based on the need for authentic, Real Milk Paint ® in a traditional color palette. Real Milk Paint ®, in 28 colors, is our own exclusive formula made from all organic materials including powdered purified casein, lime and pigments. Real Milk Paint ® is a natural paint and is not a repackaged paint from another company, or simulated milk paint. Our powdered milk paint formula will remain useable for a minimum of a two-week period after being mixed with water. Other milk paints have a short pot life and congeal (jell) to a blob allowing only one day to use the mixed paint or be forced to discard the remainder.

Antiquity
Milk paint (casein paint) has been in use for hundreds of years. Documentation shows early 16th century painters recognized milk paint as having "much tenacity." Real Milk Paint ® colors have been derived from over 15 years of experience restoring and observing antique paint finishes of fine furniture.

Ingredients
Milk paint was originally made from all organic raw materials, curdled milk, lime, and pigment. Black pigment may have been derived from coal, soot, or charcoal. Red from the earth's crust or a crushed brick. Yellow Ochre harvested from the earth. Our pigments today are harvested in the traditional manner and are completely safe, eco-friendly, non-toxic, lead free and not radioactive. Real Milk Paint ® is a all natural paint finish made from purified milk protein, lime, natural fillers and pigment. Other paint companies choose to use Kaolin Clay as a filler. Real Milk Paint ® does not contain Kaolin Clay which can be derived from radioactive clays. Our organic paint comes in a water soluble powder and does not contain solvents (Zero V.O.C. = No Volatile Organic Compounds). Our Formula contains almost one third pharmaceutical grade high calcium lime. One of the curing properties of lime is that it goes through a process call carbonization. This means that it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air. Thus giving you cleaner indoor air quality when used on interior walls. Using Real Milk Paint will REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS that contribute to Global Warming. Real Milk Paint can also be used out doors as well further reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
