Naturally safe Historic Paints since 1974.

THE GENUINE OLD FASHIONED MILK PAINT.

Just because you’re green doesn’t mean you have to be drab.

Long before “green” became a buzzword, The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Company began producing a natural, green paint, in twenty deep, rich colors.

Milk paint is one of the most ancient forms of paint known. Milk protein (also known as casein) and crushed limestone mix to form a very strong binder. Clay is added for body and earth pigments are added for color. The paints are made in powder form to avoid adding chemical preservatives. Water is simply added to the powder before use.

The ingredients in milk paints are 100% biodegradable.

Old Fashioned Milk Paint and new SafePaint for Walls are safe for people and the environment.

Here’s what Gregg from Vermont has to say:

"Here is your ultimate testimonial.... I was painting an old door in our home and had a yogurt container with the mixed blue paint on top of my 70 gallon fish aquarium. Well I am not sure how it happened, but the paint went into the tank (along with the brush). The aquarium turned a deep rich blue color, though I was extremely worried about the health of my fish. My wife thought that I should take them out, but from my experience with aquariums, they seem to clean themselves, so I left it. I was simply amazed! 24 hours after spilling the Milk Paint into my fish tank, the color was about gone and all the fish were healthy as ever. The blue eventually faded out completely and the fish flourished. Since then I have added about a dozen new fish to my tank. Not only am I more than happy with the results of the paint on the old door, but I am also amazed that the paint is so non-toxic that even a little neon tetra is unscathed after swimming in it. Thank you!"
