Hey everyone! 
I’ve been diving deep into the world of natural paints for my latest home renovation project, and I’m absolutely loving the vibe and eco-friendliness they bring to my space. I’ve used Earthborn Claypaint for the walls, and it’s been a game-changer in terms of breathability and the rich, matte finish. However, I’m now at a crossroads looking for the best non-toxic sealer to protect these beautiful walls, especially in high-traffic areas like the kitchen and hallway.
I’ve experimented with a couple of options, including Auro Clear Glaze, which is plant-based and has a nice, subtle sheen. It worked well, but I’m curious if there are other products out there that you’ve tried and loved. Specifically, I’m looking for something that enhances durability without compromising the paint’s natural qualities. Also, how do these sealers fare on different surfaces? I’ve got a mix of plaster and wood that I’m working with.
I’m all ears for your recommendations and experiences! What non-toxic sealers have you used with natural paints? How did they hold up over time, and were there any application tips you found particularly helpful? Let’s share our knowledge and help each other make our homes more sustainable and beautiful! 
Hey @EcoPainterJane! I’ve been on a similar journey and found BioShield Aqua Resin Floor Finish to be a fantastic non-toxic sealer. It’s water-based, so it’s super eco-friendly, and it really enhances the durability of natural paints without altering their appearance. I used it over Earthborn Claypaint in my living room, and it’s held up beautifully against daily wear and tear. Plus, it’s versatile enough for both plaster and wood surfaces. Application was a breeze; just make sure the surface is clean and dry before you start. Would love to hear if anyone else has tried this!

Thanks for the tip, @GreenThumb88! I’ve heard of BioShield but haven’t tried it yet. How does it affect the matte finish of the Earthborn Claypaint? I’m really keen on maintaining that natural look. Also, did you apply it with a brush or a roller?

@EcoPainterJane, it maintains the matte finish beautifully! I was worried about that too, but it dries clear and doesn’t add any unwanted gloss. I used a foam roller for application, which gave me a really smooth finish without any brush marks. It’s been about six months, and the walls still look as good as new. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

I’ve been using Eco Wood Treatment as a sealer for my natural paints, and it’s been a great match. It’s made from natural oils and waxes, so it’s completely non-toxic and enhances the paint’s durability without compromising its breathability. I’ve applied it on both wood and plaster surfaces, and it’s performed admirably. The only downside is that it requires a bit more elbow grease during application, but the results are worth it. Has anyone else tried this product?

@SandyShorelines, Eco Wood Treatment sounds interesting! How does it affect the color of the paint? I’m using some pretty vibrant shades, and I wouldn’t want them to dull. Also, what do you mean by ‘more elbow grease’? Is it harder to apply than other sealers?

@EcoPainterJane, it doesn’t dull the colors at all! In fact, it brings out the richness of the natural paints. By ‘more elbow grease,’ I mean that it requires a bit more effort to spread evenly, especially on larger surfaces. I found that using a lint-free cloth for application helps a lot. It’s a bit more work, but the finish is so smooth and durable, it’s totally worth it.

Has anyone tried Pure Paint Wall Sealer? I’ve been considering it for my project but can’t find much info on how it performs with natural paints. I’m particularly interested in its durability and how it affects the paint’s breathability. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
@MountainBreeze, I haven’t tried Pure Paint Wall Sealer myself, but I’m curious too! Maybe someone in the community has some experience with it. It’s always great to have more options, especially when they’re non-toxic and eco-friendly.

Hey @EcoPainterJane, I’ve been using BioShield Aqua Resin Floor Finish too and it’s been a game-changer for my natural paint projects. It’s not just the durability that impresses me, but also how it maintains the paint’s natural look. I applied it over Earthborn Claypaint in my kitchen, and it’s been holding up great against spills and splashes. The key for me was applying thin coats and letting it dry thoroughly between applications. Have you noticed any color changes with the sealer over time?
I went a different route and tried EcoProCote Matte Sealer for my natural paint finishes. It’s another water-based, non-toxic option that’s been fantastic for both plaster and wood. What I love about it is the matte finish that doesn’t alter the paint’s original texture. It’s been a year, and my walls still look fresh. The only tip I’d give is to use a high-quality brush or roller to avoid streaks. Anyone else tried EcoProCote?
Interesting to hear about BioShield and EcoProCote. I’ve been experimenting with Pure Paint Wall Sealer, which is also non-toxic and water-based. It’s been great for enhancing durability, especially in high-traffic areas. I found it works best when applied in a well-ventilated area and allowed to cure for a full 24 hours. It’s been a solid choice for my hallway, which sees a lot of foot traffic. How do you all deal with the smell during application, even with non-toxic options?

I’ve been using Green Planet Paints Natural Wall Sealer and it’s been a revelation. It’s made from natural ingredients and has a very low VOC content, which is a big plus for me. I used it over Earthborn Claypaint in my living room, and it’s been fantastic. The application was straightforward, and it dried to a beautiful, durable finish. I’m curious, has anyone tried mixing their own natural sealers? I’ve been thinking about experimenting with beeswax and linseed oil.

I haven’t tried Eco Wood Treatment yet, but your experience sounds promising. I’ve been using Biofa Naturals for sealing my natural paints. It’s also non-toxic and has a very low odor, which is a big plus for me. It dries clear and doesn’t alter the color of the paint, which I love. It’s been great on wood, but I haven’t tested it on plaster yet. How does Eco Wood Treatment handle moisture? I’m looking for something that can withstand a bit of humidity in the bathroom.

I haven’t tried Pure Paint Wall Sealer myself, but I’ve heard mixed reviews. Some say it’s great for maintaining the paint’s breathability, while others mention it might not be the best for high-traffic areas. Maybe it’s worth getting a small sample and testing it out on a less visible spot first?

I used Pure Paint Wall Sealer on a project last year, and it worked pretty well with natural paints. It didn’t alter the color or texture much, which was a big plus. However, I did notice it needed a couple of coats in high-traffic areas to really hold up. Not sure about its long-term durability though.

I’m all about testing products before fully committing, especially with natural paints. I’d recommend checking out EcoProCote’s Matte Sealer. It’s non-toxic and has held up beautifully on my walls, even in the kitchen. It might be worth comparing it to Pure Paint Wall Sealer to see which works best for your needs.

I’ve been curious about Pure Paint Wall Sealer too. From what I’ve gathered, it seems to be a good option for maintaining the eco-friendly aspect of natural paints. But like others have said, testing it out first is key. Maybe try it on a small section of your wall and see how it performs over a few weeks?

I think the key with any sealer, especially for natural paints, is to ensure it doesn’t trap moisture. That’s why I went with Biofa’s Natural Oil Sealer. It’s been fantastic for breathability and durability. Might be another option to consider alongside Pure Paint Wall Sealer for your project.
