A mineral silicate paint for all, made a kinder way.
A breathable finish for any room, and ideal for damp and mould-prone ones.

Mineral White dries to a deep, flat, stone-like matt, the quiet mineral depth you only get from silicate. It's tough and washable, and goes on beautifully over sound existing paintwork as well as bare plaster, right through the house. Silicate paint has an open, mineral structure, so moisture moves through rather than being trapped behind a plastic film, which is why it's the traditional choice for hardworking, damp-prone rooms.

Instead of the acrylic plastic that binds most emulsion, Quiet White is held together with a plant-based binder that starts life as linseed and safflower, crops grown and pressed rather than cracked from oil. The result is a soft, calm, harmonious matt, with the softness old distempers were loved for and the scrubbability they never had. 99% of what's in the tin is renewable or mineral, and every last ingredient is on the label.

Good to know
Questions, answered
What's the difference between Mineral White and Quiet White?
Mineral White is a silicate (mineral) paint: preservative-free, extremely breathable, and the right choice for bathrooms, kitchens, cellars and older solid-walled homes. Quiet White is a plant-oil matt emulsion for bedrooms, living rooms, hallways and everywhere that stays dry. Damp or mould-prone room? Mineral White. Have an isothiazolinone allergy? Mineral White. Otherwise both give a beautiful natural matt.
Is this paint really natural?
Yes, and we show our working. Mineral White is over 96% natural raw materials; Quiet White is 99% renewable and mineral. We publish the full ingredient list on every tin and every product page, including the small synthetic parts, because a 'natural' paint that hides its recipe isn't one.
How many coats, and how much do I need?
Usually two coats. Measure your walls in m², subtract big windows and doors, divide by the coverage figure on each paint, then double it for two coats. Between sizes? Size up.
Is it low odour and safe around children and pets?
Very low odour: both are solvent-free with barely any VOC and carry the French A+ emissions rating. You may notice a mild natural scent from the raw materials while it dries. As with any paint, keep tins out of reach, and ventilate while painting and drying.
Where is it made, and are you the manufacturer?
Soil & Sky is a British brand. Our paints are made for us in Germany by a leading natural paint specialist. We're the brand and your UK supplier, and we publish exactly what's in every tin.
