Meet the Woman-Owned Paint Brand That Uses Crushed Stone Instead of Chemicals

When you think about wellness, paint probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But Alkemis is here to change that. This design-forward brand is on a mission to prove that what covers your walls is just as important to your health as what’s in your skincare or the food on your plate.

Founded by Price Latimer and Maya Crowne, two women with backgrounds in art, design, and wellness, Alkemis is the world’s first mineral-based “wellness paint.” It’s built on the belief that beauty and wellness can—and should—coexist. The brand takes a radically clean approach to color, using a proprietary formula that’s free from the usual culprits: no VOCs, no synthetic pigments, no plasticizers, biocides, or off-gassing solvents. Instead, it’s made from natural ingredients like crushed quartz and mineral pigments, which not only make it safer for your health and the environment but also elevate the overall look and feel of your space.

And this isn’t just clean paint—it’s luxurious paint. With over 100 richly pigmented, velvety colors inspired by nature and historical artistry, Alkemis makes it easy to bring depth, texture, and a touch of design magic into your home. The finish has a soft, matte quality that plays beautifully with natural light, reminiscent of limewash, but with greater durability.

Another standout feature is its longevity. Thanks to its proprietary mineral quartz binder, Alkemis paint doesn’t just coat surfaces—it chemically bonds to them. That means a single coat can last for decades, resisting mold, UV damage, and everyday wear far more effectively than traditional plastic-based paints.

For Wellness-Minded Design Lovers

For wellness-minded homeowners, families, renters, and anyone sensitive to synthetic chemicals, Alkemis offers something rare in the design world: a product that’s as healthy as it is high-end. Even the packaging reflects that mission—it’s made of 100% recyclable steel, and production takes place in an emissions-free facility powered by renewable energy.

In a world where health and home are more connected than ever, Alkemis is ushering in a new era of conscious design. Because your walls shouldn’t just look good—they should support your well-being, too.
