What are milk paints and clay-based paints?
Milk paint, in use for thousands of years, is a nontoxic, milk-based paint bound with casein, and can be made from milk and lime, with pigments added for color.
Clay-based paint is a water-based, breathable emulsion, free from oils and acrylics, that creates a totally flat matte finish.
