Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are chemicals released as gases from traditional paints, affecting indoor air quality. They can cause headaches, dizziness, respiratory issues, and long-term exposure may increase the risk of serious health problems. Studies show that even 'low VOC' paints can still contain harmful chemicals. VOCs also contribute to pollution and harm our environment, releasing toxins that impact air quality and natural ecosystems.
Verus Paint is 100% VOC-free and completely toxin-free, meaning no carcinogens, petrochemicals, or hazardous fumes.

Low-VOC or natural paints claim to reduce toxins, but these options come with their own concerns.
Studies, including one from Harvard and Karlstad University, found that even low-VOC water-based paints can release Propylene Glycol Ethers (PGEs), a compound linked to a higher risk of asthma, hay fever, and eczema in children. There are numerous sources that warn of the potential harmful effects of paint fumes.
With Verus Paint, you’ll have peace of mind—our paint is independently verified as 100% VOC-free, ensuring absolutely no harmful emissions.
Verus Paint is not 100% natural—and for good reason. While terms like ‘natural paints’ and ‘eco paints’ may sound appealing, they are inherently more prone to mould and bacterial growth. Although mould is a natural process, it’s certainly not something you’d want developing on your walls.
Wherever possible, we incorporate natural ingredients into our paints, but our priority is creating the safest, highest-quality product
for your home. That’s why we carefully select premium ingredients and embrace modern technology where it enhances performance and safety.

Yes, our paint is completely breathable meaning it will help prevent damp in the home and is suitable for painting over walls with lime plaster, lime wash or lime render.
If you’re dealing with damp, our paint can help as it's fully breathable and antibacterial. Older homes relied on natural ventilation, allowing damp to evaporate in warm weather. However, modern non-permeable paints trap moisture beneath their waterproof layer, leading to damp patches, flaking, or mould. Non-breathable paints prevent walls from releasing moisture, an issue relevant to both older and new-build homes.
All our paints have an approximate coverage of 12m square per litre (dependent on surface)
