Also, keep in mind that the definition of "VOCs" is based on the compound's ability to contribute to the formation of smog only, which means that "zero-VOC" doesn't necessarily mean "healthy." From an environmental perspective, a focus on VOCs entirely disregards a host of other issues, such as the amount of energy it took to create the paint, and the waste that it generated. Natural paints are the greenest and healthiest paints available. See our website, www.unearthedpaints.com

Keep in mind that no-VOC paints may still contain a lot of harmful chemicals that are not technically VOC's. The only way to verify that a paint is healthy and sustainable is to see a full ingredient list, which very few companies are willing to provide. I co-founded a company that lists ALL ingredients: www.unearthedpaints.com. Bioshield also provides an ingredient list.
