About The Company

Get the ins and outs

Natural Earth paint was founded in 2011 by Leah Fanning in the United States. After not being able to find toxic-free, high quality paint, Leah decided to make it herself. Her products are distributed in the Netherlands by Immenz to inspire artists to find eco-friendly paint in Europe and also for parents so their kids can use toxin-free paint without worries. The long-lasting pigments can be bought by themselves, making it easy to just mix for the amount of paint you need, or you can purchase paint kits that are already mixed. All paint is natural, non-chemical, non-toxic, plastic-free, biodegradable and made in facilities operating on green energy.

Spreading the word about the dangers of toxic art supplies for our health, our children’s health and the health of our only planet.
