Auro 524 Plantodecor Premium Breathable Emulsion is a great way to brighten up your healthy home. Auro 524 is a natural, non toxic, solvent free, washable emulsion paint which is virtually VOC free. It has great coverage and is ideal for internal walls and ceilings.

Auro aims to use renewable, plant based ingredients from certified organic sources in their products wherever possible, along with natural minerals and small amounts of synthetic materials (only when absolultely necessary). All Auro products can be safely reintegrated back into the natural cycle therefore any residues can be composted (but if not home composting, please check that your local authority will accept it first).
* Replebin® is an innovative, biogenic binder. Replebin® consists of plant alcohol esters with organic acides. The Bremen Environmental Institute in Germany has tested and confirmed the biogenic origin of the binding agent Replebin® and the very low product emission of the Plantodecor (524) wall paint. This paint binder is legally protected and exclusive to Auro paints.
Please note: Natural products are neither odourless nor emission-free. The use of organic, natural and plant based ingredients means that allergy and asthma sufferers and people who are chemically sensitive are much more able to tolerate Auro products, however, they may cause allergic reactions in some. We always recommend that customers test a sample pot, when a paint product is new to them, to be sure.

Ceilings
You can of course paint ceilings with Auro 524 emulsion too, so do make sure you order enough to make your entire room look fresh!
Alternatively, if you are going to paint your ceiling white, it is worth considering one of the air purifying paints which work with sunlight (or sunlight/daylight bulbs) to neutralise noxious gases and odours in the room.
