In this episode of Living by Design, Scott and Danette from Ron Scott Design Build talk with Maya and Price, the founders of Alkemis Paint, about how they are transforming the paint industry with their mineral-based, crystal-infused, non-toxic paints.

They share the story behind Alkemis, why most paints are made from fossil fuel–derived plastics, and how their product is naturally mold-resistant, vapor permeable, and even cleans the air while it cures. The conversation covers the emotional difference you can feel in a room painted with Alkemis, how they developed their stunning mineral-based color palette, and their commitment to sustainability and cradle-to-cradle certification. Perfect for anyone interested in healthier, more intentional home design.
