It is a naturally safe historic paint that is handmade in powder form in South Africa.
Mankind has been decorating and covering everything from cave walls to cabins, furniture to farmhouses for literally thousands of years. Artefacts found in Egyptian pyramids were found painted with Milk Paint. Because milk paint was so simple to make and use, it was for thousands of years, the major form of decoration throughout the world.is
The primary reason milk paint lasts so long is that the Casein in milk reacts with the lime. Pigments made from natural earth elements get added to give colours, and South Africa is blessed with an abundance of beautiful natural pigments. If Milk Paint Powder was invented today it would tout as a “no-VOC miracle finish”! You can still make your own paint the old-fashioned way.
We, at Chalk & Cheese Paint and Décor, have a fully equipped production facility where all our Milk Paint Powder is hand mixed, packed and sold in store, at various stockists and online anywhere in South Africa. We produce a paint powder using tried and tested ingredients that not only give the look of historic paints but are completely biodegradable and child friendly, with no VOC’s, HAP’s or EPA-exempt solvents added.

If you are looking to add rich colour to your next project, do yourself a favour and buy a packet of Milk Paint Powder.
