Painting the New Year with Anna Sova Paints





Breathe the difference --
it smells like a milkshake!



Painting the New Year with Anna Sova paints, this brand has managed to meld together eco needs and stylish desires. Their huge selection of non-toxic paints ($69/Gallon!!) allows not only healthier choices, you can mix in a little aroma and get your walls to smell as good as they look- novel! Anna Sova Food Paint is produced with up to 94% food ingredients. This patented food-based wall paint is easy to use, applies and protects like standard interior wall paint with good scrubbability. Made with Milk casein (as in milkshakes), titanium dioxide (as in powdered donuts), bamboo cellulose (fiber bars), food emulsifiers, fungicide, bactericide, mildew retardant and preservatives (as in chocolates). Does not contain chemicals such as: mercury, formaldehyde, crystalline silica, ethylene glycol, toluene, mutagens, vinyl acrylics, or acrylic copolymers or any ingredients known to cause cancer, birth defects, lung, liver and kidney disease.




Anna Sova Food Paint is a healthy decor option for pregnant women, children, elderly individuals with aggravated asthma, immune deficiencies and most allergies. Breathe the difference - it smells like a vanilla milkshake! Aroma fades in several days.

Available online as Pure White Pastel Base - Flat Finish, in 16 oz. and 1 gallon sizes. Great for ceilings and anywhere you want a clean, white paint.

For custom tints and bases, please contact a Green Depot representative.

Note: This wall finish may not adhere to surfaces that are waxed, glossed, some oil bases, tea stains or special finishes (as with most standard poly vinyl acrylic latex paints). You need to sand, texture or seal the surface first.


I have used Anna Sova paints before, and let me share with you the steps needed to prepare your walls, not to mention you are using an Eco friendly paint. Not only is it better for you but is is also better for our environment. You may even experience a noise coming from your tummy after using this paint, because this aroma is just like the smell of a vanilla milkshake...now that is divine!
