About
I believe healthy paints and coatings should only be used when necessary to protect surfaces and/or add to the aesthetic of a space. They should be thoroughly vetted for performance as well as health, and sometimes we must compromise one for the other. I prefer natural over synthetic or petrochemical ingredients, and suggest avoiding biocides (e.g., Triclosan aka “MicroBan”) whenever possible. Healthy Paints and Coating manufacturers that display transparency (e.g., Health Product Declaration, Environmental Product Declaration) and share 3rd-party lab reports should be encouraged.
