Notre guide pour choisir une peinture bio

Our guide to choosing an organic paint

Did you know that paints can be extremely harmful to the planet and to your health? When they dry, they release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These volatile chemicals contain carbon. These compounds contribute to increasing global warming and can be very dangerous for your health, causing headaches, eye irritation, and even nausea, as well as degrading indoor air quality.

Fortunately, healthier paints exist as an alternative to traditional paints.

 

An ecological and natural paint for the most organic composition possible

That's why Algo was committed to developing an eco-friendly paint that's safe for the environment and your health. We've developed a biological paint formula made exclusively from naturally occurring ingredients and free of heavy metals, plasticizers, or harmful preservatives. Our paints are therefore completely environmentally friendly and safe for your health.

What brand of eco-friendly natural paint can I use?

The raw material we use is seaweed, a material already highly prized in the cosmetics and food industries, and which has the advantage of being harvested locally, on the Breton coast. We then process it in our factories near Rennes where it is combined with vegetable oil, a binder also of natural origin that allows us to obtain a healthier paint than traditional paint.

 

The advantages of organic paints:


1) A non-toxic paint typology

Organic paints offer many advantages that should convince even the most undecided. First of all, they help ensure a healthy environment, suitable for everyone, especially pregnant women, thanks to their natural formula guaranteed to be chemical-free. Thus, Algo paints can be used without any problem to paint baby and children's rooms with a range of colors


2) A solvent-free paint with high performance

Next, organic paints are economical products, which are particularly durable over time and require the application of few coats thanks to their high coverage. Often, you will only need one coat to achieve an intense and deep result that will truly make a difference compared to traditional paints.


3) An ecological paint that is easy to apply

Finally, Algo's organic paints are very easy to use. They are easily applied with a brush or roller thanks to their soft texture, so you don't need to be a professional to repaint your interior! Our paints also have the advantage of offering optimized drying time and being washable afterwards without problem, which will allow you to apply them in more exposed areas like the kitchen or children's bedrooms.

So, as you will have understood, Algo paints are the ideal solution for anyone who wants a modern and trendy interior, which respects the environment and its inhabitants.
