Are there other craft uses for the egg dyes? Can I make paint for kids? The egg dyes can be used in any DIY craft project that calls for traditional food colouring. Such uses include homemadesalt dough, slime or finger paints.
Can you save / preserve the egg dye once water is added? Not really. You can try putting them in the fridge but they will spoil since the dyes are made from all-natural food products and we do not add preservatives. The mixes are only best for 1-2 hours to get the most vibrant colours but used dye mixes can also be used to make playdough (play dough) or for colouring food (egg dye kits are food safe)

For the natural egg dyes, if they aren’t organic how are they different from regular dyes? Our dyes are made from fruits and vegetables. They are all natural, whereas conventional egg dye kits are made from synthetic dyes, which have been linked to autism and other behavioural disorders in children, as well as a range of other health concerns.
Are your egg dyes food grade?Could they be used to dye frosting? Yes, they are actually natural food dyes, they are meant for food and to be eaten.
How long does a unopened packet of dried ingredients last for? Dried and unopened the paint has a 2-3 year shelf life.

About
It Started With a Love of Painting
Like many artists, our founder believed toxic fumes and harsh chemicals were simply the price you paid for high-quality paint. But when she became pregnant with her first child, she began questioning what was really in the materials she loved to create with.
Determined to find a better way, she set out to create her own natural paints, proving that artists shouldn't have to choose between their health, the planet, and beautiful, professional-quality results.
Yes. Our paints, pigments and supplies have been tested by government-certified toxicologists and are also third-party tested. They are certified completely non-toxic.
None of our products are ever tested on animals. All Natural Earth Paints are vegan, with the exception of our Natural Face Paint, which contains beeswax.
All of our products are free from gluten and dairy. Our Refined Walnut Oil is the only product that contains nuts, and it is not processed in our facility.
Although our paints are non-toxic, they are not intended for consumption. Our Natural Egg Dye Kits are the exception and are FDA-approved for use with food.
We use 100% post-consumer recycled packaging, biodegradable cups and lids, home-compostable pigment pouches, and recyclable glass and aluminum bottles across our product range.
We accept qualifying returns of unopened and unused products. Please refer to our full Return & Refund Policy for complete details and eligibility.
Beautiful colours, I mixed the powdered pigments as instructed and painted on raw canvas. Using these naturally derived pigments aligns with my beliefs and my art practice.
The selection and products were well priced, they were shipped fast and were very well wrapped. The entire process was a breeze. I am happy to recommend shopping with the this great team.
These paints have great coverage, are creamy and highly pigmented, and the colour palette is so rich and earthy. It absolutely sings on canvasses and other surfaces. My favourite line of paint by far.
I am a super sensitive to chemicals person. I have had my creativity limited as a result to paints have ingredients I react to. What a joy to open up these products and have no negative reactions! I will be buying more!
