A living surface
Forget dead plastic surfaces. Egg oil tempera gives a silky matte finish with a depth that beautifully changes depending on how daylight falls into the room.
The substrate can breathe
Instead of creating a tight film that traps moisture, Egg oil tempera allows moisture to move freely through the substrate. This prevents moisture buildup that can otherwise lead to hidden damage and rot.
Pigments from nature
We use genuine earth and oxide pigments. This gives colors with a natural harmony that is impossible to recreate with synthetic tinting systems.
Non-toxic & Safe
The ingredient list is short and honest: egg, linseed oil, water, and pigments. We add only a minimal amount of drying agent and completely avoid unnecessary preservatives.
Patina, not peeling
Unlike modern paints, tempera wears with dignity. It only becomes more beautiful over the years and is easy to maintain and touch up when needed.
Swedish craftsmanship
Each can is carefully mixed in our paint factory and store in Karlslund, Örebro. When you choose Ovolin, you support Swedish tradition and sustainable production.
