earthBorn ‘proAqua Eggshell’
water-based wood paint
‘When it comes to woodwork, earthBorn proAqua Eggshell is a real eye-opener.
Behind its soft satin sheen and contemporary colour range lies a highly advanced formulation that makes it stand out from the crowd.
Unlike other water based paints, proAqua Eggshell is totally free of oils, acrylics and acrylic softeners, making it safer and more pleasant to use and better for the environment.
It is beneficial for your family’s health and the environment as it is VOC free and certified not to emit any harmful emissions during or after use.(1)
