What are the Ingredients in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint?

December 8, 2021 by Corinne Leave a Comment

What’s in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint?

Based on my sense of smell and comparison to other paints I didn’t find it as potent as regular paint but it does resemble an artist’s paint (possibly a slight acrylic odor, but nothing close to as strong as a regular zero-VOC acrylic wall paint).

They claim extremely low VOCs.

This ingredient list is based off of the company’s SDS sheets, industry knowledge, and patents of other chalk style paints:

The Ingredients in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint:

  • Calcium carbonate 25-50% (known)
  • Titanium Dioxide white pigment 0-10% (known)
  • Diiron trioxide 0-3.5% (known)
  • Alcohols (known)
  • Ammonia (known)
  • Pigments, in colors other than white (known)
  • Acrylic binder (likely*)
  • Talc (likely*)
  • PVA binder (possible*)
  • Propylene Glycol (possible*)

*These ingredients are in no way confirmed by Annie Sloan nor have I personally run chemically testing on the product. These guesses are based on industry papers and patents of other brands of chalk-style paints.

Check out my detailed review of using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint on the walls and a comparison to clay paint, mineral paint, and Milk Paint here.
