Mylands have been committed to reducing chemicals and microplastics in our paints for over 12 years. Through innovation and experimentation, they developed our plant-based paint ranges. They choose to use natural earth pigments in our paint, and are one of the last remaining manufacturers to do so. Why? Because the result is a sumptuous rich colour and it’s so much more environmentally friendly.
The new Olive Stone Emulsion has an impressive 56% bio-based content. There’s the innovative ground olive stone powder, coupled with a resin based on a plant oil. This produces a long-lasting, durable coverage.
