Eco Friendly Paint

At ProNature you receive a guarantee that only natural elements such as beeswax, plant oils and extracts are used in their Wall Paints and Wood finishes.

ProNature is manufactured by Enviro Touch who is currently the only company in South Africa, who produces a range of 100% natural finishes products (including wall paints, wood and stone finishes).

Their products are specially formulated and researched and offer the purest, environmentally sound alternative to modern-day synthetic living.
