Is your paint safe for people with allergies, asthma and other respiratory health issues?
Yes, Verus Paint is safe for people with allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions. Our 100% VOC-free, allergen-free, and odour-free formula releases no toxic emissions, carcinogens, petrochemicals, or hazardous fumes.
Research from Harvard University and Sweden's Karlstad University, reported in Environmental Health News, found that children exposed to fumes from conventional water-based paints and solvents are 2 to 4 times more likely to develop allergies or asthma. VOCs, including PGEs propylene glycol and glycol ethers), often found in ‘safer’ water-based paints, can linger in homes for months or years, potentially disrupting immune system development in children. The British Lung Foundation also warns that VOCs can worsen asthma and allergies, with fumes absorbed into the lungs and bloodstream, causing symptoms like headaches and dizziness.
Choose Verus for a truly safe, no-VOC, non-toxic Paint.
What is formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is a chemical used in many everyday products, but it poses significant health risks. Proven to cause respiratory problems, eye and skin irritation, and even cancer in extreme cases, formaldehyde remains prevalent because it enhances the performance of various consumer and industrial goods. It’s commonly found in furniture, flooring, and household furnishings due to its bonding properties in resins, as well as in personal care products like shampoos, soaps, and cosmetics. Air fresheners can even release formaldehyde, highlighting the importance of checking labels and making informed choices to reduce exposure.
Verus paint cleverly absorbs formaldehyde and converts it into harmless vapour for as long as it’s on the walls.
Does your paint contain MITs?
Verus Paint is free from MITs, isothiazolinone, benzothiazolinone, xylene, and all known allergens and toxins, making it the safest choice for your family.
Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) is a preservative commonly used in paints to extend shelf life but is known to cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
Safe, non-toxic, and allergen-free, Verus Paint prioritises your health.
Colour without compromise.
