Technical Data

Face Paint Ingredients:
Distilled water, Natural clay & mineral pigments, Organic castor seed oil, Certified Organic beeswax, Certified Organic Shea Nilotica (Fair-trade Shea butter), Glycerin, Cetearyl alcohol (derived from natural vegetable oils), Carrageenan seaweed, Olive-mulse (an olive-based emulsifier), and 1% Optiphen (a formaldehyde-free and paraben-free preservative)

To apply:
Use a small amount at a time. The paints have a soft, creamy consistency and do not need to be activated with water. Work in thin layers and let each layer dry completely before touching. For longer-lasting wear - especially in hot or humid conditions - set with cornstarch.

To remove:
Rinse with soap and water. If needed, apply liquid soap directly to the painted area (avoiding the eyes and mouth), and work it into the paint until the pigment loosens. Then use a soft sponge or cloth with water to wipe everything away. If any light staining remains, massage a small amount of lotion or skin-safe oil onto the area, leave it for a few minutes, and wash again. In the rare event that a trace of color persists, avoid scrubbing - this can irritate the skin. Simply wait until the next day, as natural movement and contact with bedding will typically clear any remaining color. As a general rule, always remove face paint before going to bed.

Shelf life:
To store, replace lids securely and keep the paints in a cool, dry spot away from direct light. If the paint does dry over time, use a little lotion or body butter to bring it back to life. The guaranteed shelf life of our Natural Face Paints is 1 ½ years from the date of purchase. Keep the jar lids closed while working to prevent debris from contaminating the paint and stop it from drying out.

Packaging:
These face paints are packaged in recyclable plastic jars with lids.

How We Handle Shipping Issues

Once an order leaves our facility, delivery is handled by the selected shipping carrier. Any delivery issues must be addressed directly with the carrier, as they are responsible for transporting the package to its destination. For USPS shipments, we’ve found that contacting your local post office is often the most effective first step.

You may track your shipment or submit a missing mail claim through the carrier used for your order—either the U.S. Postal Service or UPS.

While we make every effort to process and ship orders promptly, we are not able to retrieve or locate packages once they are in transit. In the event of a delay or loss, we ask for your patience while the carrier completes its investigation. Replacement items or refunds can only be issued after the carrier has made a formal determination.

After an order leaves our facility, responsibility transfers to the carrier, but we’re glad to offer support and direction should any delivery issues occur.

If your order arrives damaged, please contact us within 10 days of delivery. Include your order number and photos of the damaged product and packaging. 

We do everything possible to make sure acrylik paint and medium will arrive undamaged in winter. We insulate packages and add heat packs to help ensure paint will not freeze in transit, however, we cannot guarantee that acrylik paint and medium will always arrive undamaged. We will not replace or refund acrylik paint that has been ruined by freezing temperatures. 

If an order is marked “delivered” by the carrier but you have not received it, please let us know, but do note that we will insist you make every effort to find the package on your end, including checking with neighbors and waiting at least 2 more days for delivery. If the package does not show up, we will assist you in starting a trace with the carrier or make another determination about how to handle the issue.

 

Return Policies

We offer full refunds on any defective or damaged products. We also offer full refunds (less shipping costs) on elective returns if the product is in re-sellable condition (including the packaging) and the return has been made within 3 months of the purchase.

PRODUCT FAQs

What makes your face paints different?
We haven’t been able to find another product on the market that comes close to our natural face paints in terms of their beauty and safety. We test all our face paints for heavy metals and guarantee that they are non-toxic and safe for your family.

What are the colors like?
The red, orange, and yellow colors are all ochres. They are earthy, rather than bright. The other colors are more similar to primary colors. If you are familiar with our Natural Earth Paints, you will recognize the palette is very similar. Colors are limited by our intention to use only earth pigments. We do not use any fully synthetic dyes or pigments.

What are the ingredients in your Natural Face Paints?
Our Natural Face Paint contains distilled water, natural clay & mineral pigments, organic castor seed oil, Certified Organic beeswax, Certified Organic Shea Nilotica (Fair-trade Shea butter), glycerin (from coconut oil), cetearyl alcohol (from natural vegetable oils), carrageenan seaweed, olive-mulse (olive-based emulsifier), and 1% Optiphen (a formaldehyde-free and paraben-free preservative).

Are they cosmetic grade? 
Our face paint complies with US cosmetic regulations. We use all FDA approved ingredients, cosmetic grade pigments and the paints have been third party lab tested for all heavy metals, bacteria and toxins.        

Are they easy to wash off?
Super easy! Just use water and they don't leave a stain.

How do I clean up tools? 
Rags soiled with face paint can be rinsed and thrown in the wash. Paper towels soiled with natural face paint can be disposed of in the compost or trash. Brushes should get rinsed with soap and water and left in open air to dry.

Are they vegan? 
The face paint is not vegan since it contains beeswax.

Is your Face Paint free from: Preservatives, parabens, fragrance, nano-particles, phthalates, petroleum? 
They are free of all those things except it has 1% of a paraben-free, non-toxic preservative to keep it microbially safe.

What’s the coverage? 
The amount of face paint you need depends on the size or amount of paint that's used on each person. If you do a small, simple design on the cheek of each child, then one face paint kit will probably be enough for 40-50 kids. One jar will also cover an entire adult, average sized person arm and hand.

Love these paints!

I am happy to be an affiliate with (finally!) a paint company that aligns with my values! I recently purchased the acrylik professional paint set and used them at a Plein Air paint festival! These paints exceeded my expectations. I also used the non toxic face paints at my daughter's birthday, they wiped off at the end of the night SO easily! I am more than impressed with Earth Paints!!! Thank you.

Finally! Eco-Conscious Paint!

Wanted toxin-free eco-friendly face paint for our Halloween costumes & I’m so glad I found Natural Earth Paint! It did the job well, stayed on for 6hrs, & came off extremely easily!

Mixed Results

I truly love that these paints are natural and safe, and some of the colors are gorgeous. It's convenient that most of them rinse off with just water, and all of them come off with soap and water. I was surprised how well they stayed on the skin once they dried. I lightly brushed my hand across the design, and it wasn't affected at all. However, the orange I received is more of a brown, and the purple, gold, and brown paints are streaky and don't work well with a brush. Rather than covering an area of skin, they move around on top of the skin, which is frustrating. (See photo and compare the purple to the blue, yellow, and green.) The company did offer to replace the purple paint for me, and they would probably replace the gold and brown paints also, but it doesn't seem worth the effort. I wanted to use these body paints for stencils. and the consistency is actually too creamy for that. I mixed in some corn starch, and that made the consistency much better for stencils (see photos). So I will use up these paints eventually, but having to add in corn starch makes the process a bit cumbersome. Also, the jars and brushes are tiny. The photo on the website is somewhat misleading. The website does specify that each jar contains .4 oz, but the amount is much less than it looks like in the photo. The part of the jar that holds the paint is only an inch in diameter and about a half inch deep. Because 3 of the 10 colors don't work well with brushes, and because the jars are so tiny, I would give the product 3 stars. But the other colors work well and the blue, green, and yellow are gorgeously vibrant, the paints wash off very easily, and they don't have heavy metals. And the company does back up their product, so for that I would give the product 5 stars. The result is a 4-star rating.

I love the face paint beyond words at times. I have been using it as my super eco-friendly makeup alternative for years! As well as a meditative sacred practice to shine bright. The colors blend well to make every shade I have ever tried. It washes off easily with water. Yet once it’s dry can stay on face all day even with light rain. I have an entire photo album with over 200 unique designs dedicated to my artistic face painting inspired by Earth Friendly face paint!

Love this

I really love this paint. It is great for my toddler , it does rub like any other face paint but expected, I would love to get more colors so I could have a more orange color but we mixed a few colors to get this orange shade in the photo. I would recommend!

Healthy ingredients, great for sensitive skin!

My daughter has sensitive skin which can be set off by most face paints with toxic ingredients so I was really excited to find this. It doesn’t irritate her skin and works great! Yes, some comments complain about colors being more dull or “earthy” tones. That’s because they are derived from natural ingredients and not toxic chemicals. It’s a good thing! And the colors are beautiful in my opinion!

Great safe face paint especially for kids

These face paints have a great texture , are smooth, dry quickly without caking, and in my opinion are beautiful colors that worked very well for painting our faces for Day of the Dead. We wore the face paint for about 5 hours without getting itchy or tight or irritated. My girls were able to wash their faces with just a washcloth and water afterward. I noticed there are very mixed reviews on this product, and my guess is that such a natural product tends to vary batch to batch. If that's so, we got a very good batch! I will buy this again when we run out.

Great product

This white face paint worked out so great! It covered so well and I only had to use a little bit. And I love that ingredients all natural and organic. The kids did not have any reaction on their face or eyes when they wore it for Halloween

Great little kit goes far

I only needed paint for my witchy self and this was enough for at least 4 faces! Washed off easily and I didn't have to walk around with a green paler the day after halloween. Plus I felt good that I wasn't putting dangerous toxins on my skin. And a fair price too. I am considering buying the artists paints as well.

Holds up well

I needed to find face paint for my 9yo daughter for a musical she's in. She has sensitive skin so we avoid most store bought make up and face paint products. I found these online and bought them, hoping that they would stay on well because she also touches her face a lot! So far it's working great!! It stays on well. I even tried to rub it off with my finger and it stays on. But it's also super easy to wash off when you want it off, and so far, no staining. Super happy with this!

Great & doesn’t hurt slim!

I have to say I was very impressed with this face paint. I hate all makeup so painting my face is like torture. It went on smooth, dried fast, stayed on & when it was time came off super super easy just with water. My skin is generally sensitive & this didn’t irritate it at all, didn’t leave a residue & my skin is doing just fine! Definitely recommend this!

P
Paige (Brookings, US)
Great clean paint!

My son has been begging for face paint for over a year and finally I took the time to deep dive on different brands and ingredients to find something truly non toxic and am delighted to have found this! You can replace colors individually when you run out, it doesn't stain your face, and best of all it's full of wholesome ingredients! It's even made in Oregon! Couldn't be happier!

I got these to use for a baby blessing - we wrote affirmations and blessings on the mama-to-be’s belly so I wanted something natural. I was quite surprised with how vivid the colors were and how easily they went on, truly felt like painting.

So glad this exists!

As a mom of a toddler who also lives a low-toxic lifestyle, I’m so grateful this company and these products exist. This set is beautiful and perfect for an activity on days where the weather stops us from going outside. I wish all the toxic children’s face paint in the world would switch to this. The colors are so vibrant and creamy and the glitters are beautiful.

So far so good

We let both of the kids paint their faces this weekend. Both have sensitive skin and so far there is no skin reaction. Would love to have dry bulk face paint available to add our own oil to. One of the kids is sure he is the most recent member of KISS and we my be going through a lot of black and white face paint.

Great Quality, Easy Removal

I was a little nervous to pay so much for face paint, but this stuff is great! Easy to apply, very vivid colors, and also easy to remove. My 7 year old wore it to school and it rained outside, and it came off just from her being in the rain (which was a good thing in my book! No scrubbing!) It also seemed to not irritate her sensitive skin. I will absolutely recommend this to others and plan to buy it again!
