Citrus vs Pine

As citrus peel oil has become more expensive, we wanted to give you a more practical alternative without sacrificing quality. That’s why we’ve introduced a version of our finish mixed with Pine Oil—it’s sustainably sourced, more readily available, and just as effective. The only difference is their source and smell.

We know how important it is to have natural, food contact-safe options you can trust, and this change ensures we can continue providing a high-quality finish at a more accessible price. Whether you stick with Citrus Solvent or try Pine Oil as your mix, you’re still getting the same reliable performance for your projects.

Both of which Real Milk Paint passes! Now you can rest easy knowing that the paint you use is safe for even the littlest of ones in your life. Read more about this topic by clicking here!
