Cochineal

One of the reddest colours of the natural world, coming from the cochineal beetle found on the South American prickly pear, prized by the Incas, inspiring passion as a blusher for women, in artists frescos, and as a decorative colour in homes.

All Fired Earth paint is formulated with the environment in mind. We take care to choose the correct and safe materials and to be responsible in our actions. To the end we have successfully developed paints that cover exceptionally well thereby requiring fewer coats than ordinary paint.

This is a water-based paint with minimal VOC content (volatile organic compounds) 0-0.29%. It provides exceptional coverage, is practical, hardwearing and practically odour free during application. This paint can be used as its own undercoat.
