OUR STORY

After a successful corporate career, I felt the desire to return to my creative roots and focus on my love of color by creating a paint company that is truly all-natural, non-toxic and sustainable, with the addition of functional wellness benefits. Earth-friendly ingredients and luxury should not have to be mutually exclusive. In researching the paint industry, I was saddened to learn about the environmentally-damaging processes and recognized, yet another example of, how we must move past our persistent dependence on plastic; Alkemis Paint is the aspiring antidote.
— Maya Crowne, CEO and Co-Founder of Alkemis Paint

Humans currently spend approximately 90% of their time in enclosed spaces. Whether in residential or public settings, we are invariably surrounded by paint products almost every minute of the day and yet are often oblivious to their deleterious aspects. Alkemis Paint was founded because we can—and we must—do better for ourselves and for the planet. It is well-established that colors, nature, and aesthetics can positively influence our mood. Our solution is to offer an innovative and improved architectural paint, harnessing the holistic healing power of nature to create an incomparably durable, non-toxic wall coating. Alkemis Paint is intentionally designed to nurture the health of the consumer, as well as protect the ecosystems in which we live, using and honoring earthen pigments and ancient paint-making practices, while simultaneously celebrating the beautiful colors of our planet.
