Lime
Burnt and slaked limestone. A breathable mineral binder that re-absorbs CO₂ as it cures. The base of our lime paints and plasters.
Made from the earth, not from crude oil.
Every crudeFree material starts with ingredients you'd recognise. Here they are, grouped by where they come from, with the products you'll find them in.
Origin
Earth
Minerals from the ground: lime, clay and chalk.
Clay
Fine earth and porcelain clays that form the mineral base of natural clay paints.
Origin
Plant
Fibres, oils, waxes and rubber from plants and crop waste.
Linseed
Oil pressed from flax seeds. A breathable binder in our wood finishes and in Marmoleum flooring.
Agrifibres
Wheat straw, rice straw and bagasse left after harvest. Instead of being burnt in the fields, it is pressed into boards or bound with natural latex into plant-based leather.
Jute
A soft, golden bast fibre grown in eastern India. Used in plastic-free rugs and as the backing of linoleum.
Sisal
A tough agave fibre that's biodegradable and naturally anti-static. Woven into hard-wearing rugs and mats.
Tung & castor oil
Plant oils that penetrate deep into the grain to protect wood naturally.
Natural rubber
Tree-tapped latex, used as a plant-based backing for rugs and as the binder in our straw leather, instead of synthetic latex or PU.
Carnauba wax
The hardest natural wax, from Brazilian palm leaves. Adds durability and sheen to wood finishes.
Tomato biomass
Waste from tomato processing, blended with cotton and a biopolymer into a leather alternative.
Origin
Animal
Natural wool and wax, gathered without harm.
Natural sheep wool
A naturally fire-resistant, sound-absorbing fibre for insulation and acoustic felt.
