Recommendations for the best eco-friendly clay paint brands for smooth surfaces

Hey everyone! :herb: I’ve been diving deep into the world of natural paints for my latest home renovation project, and I’m absolutely fascinated by the variety and quality of eco-friendly options out there. Specifically, I’m on the hunt for the best clay paint brands that work wonders on smooth surfaces. I’ve already tried a couple of brands, like Earthborn and Auro, and while they’ve been great, I’m curious to hear about your experiences and recommendations.

One thing I’ve noticed is that not all clay paints are created equal when it comes to application on smooth surfaces. Some require a bit more elbow grease to get that perfect finish, while others glide on like a dream. I’m particularly interested in brands that offer a wide range of colors and have a minimal environmental impact. Sustainability is a huge factor for me, so I’m always on the lookout for paints that are not only natural but also produced in an eco-conscious manner.

So, what are your go-to clay paint brands for smooth surfaces? Have you found any that stand out in terms of ease of application, durability, and environmental friendliness? I’d love to hear about your experiences, any tips you might have, and if there are any brands I should definitely check out. Let’s share our knowledge and help each other make our homes more beautiful and eco-friendly! :art::earth_africa:

@EcoPainterJane, I love their ‘Terracotta’ shade. It gives such a warm, earthy vibe to any room. Definitely recommend checking it out!

@GreenThumb88, Aglaia applies very smoothly, almost like butter, and the finish is matte but rich. It’s a bit different from Earthborn, which I find has a slightly more textured finish. Both are excellent, but it depends on the look you’re going for.

I’m all about Natural Earth Paints. Their clay-based formula is not only eco-friendly but also incredibly durable on smooth surfaces. I used their ‘Desert Rose’ in my kitchen, and it’s held up beautifully against moisture and stains. Their color palette is earthy and soothing, perfect for creating a calm environment.

I haven’t tried Biofa yet, but I’m intrigued by your experience. I’ve been sticking to Earthborn because of their ease of use and the fact that they’re VOC-free. But I’m always open to trying new brands, especially if they’re eco-friendly. How does Biofa’s price point compare to Earthborn and Auro? I’m trying to balance quality with budget.

I second the recommendation for Aglaia. I used it in my kitchen, and the difference in air quality was noticeable almost immediately. It’s a bit on the expensive side, but when you consider the health benefits and the fact that it’s one of the most environmentally friendly options out there, it’s worth every penny. Their color palette is also quite extensive, which is a huge plus.
