Earthborn Lifestyle is a durable and washable eco-friendly alternative to standard washable emulsions. Ideal for busier, higher-humidity areas where walls are more likely to get marked and scuffed. Being virtually VOC-free and free of any hazardous chemicals means no nasty paint smells, so you can move into the painted room on the same day. (see full ingredient declaration below)
Unfortunately, no samples of the Lifestyle Emulsion are available. However, the colour range is the same as Earthborn's Claypaint, and samples are available in that range. However, due to differing bases and sheen levels between Claypaint & Lifestyle, there is potential for slight colour variances when compared to the sample.
For properties where breathability is important, i.e. solid masonry buildings, you may wish to consider the Earthborn Claypaint due to its significantly higher breathability.
Certified as being safe to use on children’s furniture and toys (carries the Safety of Toys Standard EN71-3:2019).
