I’m all for natural ingredients, but I think we also need to consider the performance. If a paint isn’t durable, you might end up using more of it over time, which could negate the environmental benefits. Maybe the solution is to look for paints that are both durable and have a high percentage of natural ingredients, rather than 100% natural.

I totally get where you’re coming from with the durability concerns. I’ve been using natural paints for a while now, and while they might not last as long as the synthetic ones, the peace of mind knowing I’m not contributing to harmful environmental impacts is worth it for me. Plus, there’s something about the texture and finish of natural paints that just feels more authentic and warm. Have you considered using a natural sealant to help with durability?

I’m on the fence about this. On one hand, I love the idea of using 100% natural ingredients, but on the other, I don’t want to be repainting every couple of years. I’ve heard that some natural paint brands are working on improving their formulas for better durability. Maybe it’s worth waiting a bit to see what new products come out? In the meantime, I’m sticking with low-VOC options as a compromise.
