Who is Annie Sloan?<\/h2>\n

More than 30 years ago, Annie Sloan<\/a> created her revolutionary Chalk Paint<\/a>, which has been made on-site in the company\u2019s factory in Oxford since 2014.<\/p>\n

Today, Annie is a worldwide name in the world of colour and her Chalk Paint works well in period homes as its formula is water-based, non-toxic and non-plastic, making it kind on older walls.<\/p>\n

The colours are also inspired by historic interior design \u2013 some even taken directly from details and rooms of famous period properties<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Are Annie Sloan paints eco-friendly?<\/h2>\n

At its core, the business is about upcycling \u2013 reducing what we buy and reusing what we have. The paints are stocked exclusively through small, independent stockists rather than big corporations.<\/p>\n

At the Annie Sloan HQ in Oxford, a resident eco-star is constantly looking at ways to make the offices greener, from growing their own veg to using environmentally kind\nloo roll.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the company is committed to making lots of small changes to keep its processes and products as green as possible.<\/p>\n
