Great varnish

I am extremely pleased with this varnish. I used it on a set of wood panel paintings and love the results. I am allergic to traditional varnishes and had zero reaction to this.
Will buy again!

It's an amazing product!

I purchased Burnt Sienna and Gold Mica to paint on fabric. It's amazing! The colors are true to pictures and are permanent (I washed my fabric swatches)! A huge plus - these are not toxic! I'll be buying all of them! Please don't discontinue them ever.

i build flintlocks, i tried some natural varnish over the top of my wood finish i put on a rifle. it works absolutely great! it goes on like water and dries fast and is hard and durable. i have put in on several rifles now and love it! thanks for a great product that is natural,,,,,,,,,,,,

Gorgeous Colors, Creamy Texture, & The First Truly Non Toxic Acrylics

I could not be happier with the absolutely beautiful range of colors in this set. Each color is rich and vibrant and the "vibe" of the paint is lovely! These paints are so much better than anything else out there because they are made without harmful ingredients such as formaldehyde and heavy metals. Before I found these Natural Earth acylics I was experiencing terrible headaches from my standard store-bought brands (even though they say on the bottle they are non-toxic). I have been having such fun playing with tones by adding more or less white to the colors. So incredibly grateful for all the work that has gone into making these paints available. Love painting with these! Oh and I also got the mica paints (gold, silver, & copper) and the shimmer is perfection!

Non- Toxic Medium That Won't Give You The Glue Headaches!

I am over the moon happy about this product! Such an awesome way to glue down my collage papers without having to have that awful glue smell or the headaches that go with it! Love the creamy smooth texture and how clean and clear it dries. GREAT PRODUCT... I highly recommend it!!!

So Excited!

This makes me so happy, finally! These work beautifully - rich and creamy, love it :)
