We use Non-Toxic pigments and mica pigments. None of our pigments contain any heavy metals or chemicals of concern. In our Premo! product line, our colors such as "cadmium red hue," “cobalt blue hue” and the like, mimic the colors of the heavy metal based pigments but are non-toxic and safe. Our colors are named after artists paint colors, but none contain possible toxic substances such as cadmium, zinc or titanium.
Some of the oven-bake clays “bleed” color on your hands. This is due to the amount of pigment needed to make deep, rich, luxurious colors.
When working with multiple colors of clay, work from light to dark colors. Clean your hands with baby wipes when switching from color to color, and clean the rollers of your pasta machine to avoid introducing any deep or dark colors into the lighter colors.
