Regarding "non toxic" / sustainability:
Let’s get something straight. I am not here to preach. I am not an expert on this topic, but I have been researching a lot. I am simply a health-conscious and nature-conscious person trying to make informed decisions.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a wide range of colors that have the vibrancy of many of the most toxic paints on the market, BUT there are some great non- or less-toxic options out there. Most of us don’t have time to harvest, grind, and make our own paints so we are at the mercy of the manufacturers (and have to trust the information they share about their paints).

Ultimately you have to decide for yourself if your choices are the “lesser of evils!” For me, it’s an ongoing learning process and I am constantly adjusting my choices to my research.

I have to admit, at first this process was really overwhelming. There are so many brands, colors, and pigments out there, and some of the information is either misleading or conflicting.

If you want to go through this process but are unsure how, you can follow this step by step process that worked for me.
