SUSTAINABILITY

IS ANNIE SLOAN PAINT ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?

Our range of paints – Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™, Annie Sloan Wall Paint and Satin Paint – are all water-based and low VOC. It is considered by the British Coatings Federation (BCF) to be a more environmentally friendly choice of paint as it means that the amount of solvents in the atmosphere is reduced.

We are also committed to sustainable and local manufacturing at Annie Sloan Interiors. All of our Chalk Paints™, Satin Paints and Wall Paints are made in our factory at Annie Sloan's headquarters in Oxford, UK. Here, we make significant efforts to reduce energy consumption, source the best materials (for our paint and the planet) and recycle as much as possible from the manufacturing process.

 

IS ANNIE SLOAN PAINT VEGAN?

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™, Annie Sloan Wall Paint and Annie Sloan Satin Paint do not contain animal products. Please note that Chalk Paint™ wax contains beeswax; some of our Chalk Paint™ and Wall Paint brushes also contain animal products. None of our Annie Sloan products are tested on animals.

 

IS CHALK PAINT™ BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?

Chalk Paint™ is known to require little or no preparation, reducing the need for additional priming products. It's also the perfect product for upcycling and refreshing furniture you already own, or second-hand furniture bought locally, meaning it can significantly reduce the amount you use and therefore your carbon footprint. Finally, Chalk Paint™ is water-based, which means it contains minimal VOCs compared to solvent-based products and is considered a more environmentally friendly paint choice.

 

IS CHALK PAINT™ SAFE TO USE INDOORS?

Absolutely! Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint™ has an A+ (ie the highest possible) EU indoor air rating, has minimal VOCs and low odor, making it a great choice for indoor (and outdoor!) use.
