Natural paints leave an open ‘breathing’ and anti-static surface.
They are bio-degradable, for example, excess wall emulsion can be dried and then added to a compost heap.
Natural paints do not pose a health hazard. For people who are sensitive to even natural solvents, there are genuine 100% water-based alternatives.

The ISSA is a voluntary organisation dedicated to the location and preservation of traditional varieties of fruit and vegetables. The Association maintains a seed bank which distributes seed of these non-commercially available vegetables, as well as a network of heritage potatoes. We pass them on to members so that they can learn to save them and in this way ensure a living agricultural legacy.
