Question 1

Are your products non-toxic?

Accepted Answer

Our products are tested according to the European Toy Safety Standards (EN71), which include strict requirements for materials used by children. While we don’t use the term ‘non-toxic’ on packaging due to EU labelling regulations, our paints and modelling clay are developed specifically for children aged 3+, using ingredients that meet safety requirements set out in EU legislation. They do not contain substances classified as hazardous under current EU regulations. Made with natural binders and child-safe pigments. It does not release harmful substances, complies with the requirements of the Technical Regulations for Toy Safety (developed in accordance with Directive 2009/48/EC on the safety of toys), and has a sanitary and hygienic examination certificate. Shelf life: unlimited.

Question 2

What are your watercolours made of?

Accepted Answer

Our watercolours are made with carefully selected ingredients that meet European toy safety regulations (EN71).
They include:
Natural binders (such as gum arabic or a sugar syrup substitute for the “Honey” series)
High-quality, finely ground pigments
Purified water
In some sets, a food-grade humectant to improve texture and moisture retention
We do not use any ingredients classified as hazardous under EU Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, and all sets are tested to ensure they are suitable for children aged 3 and above.
Our paints dissolve easily, spread well on paper, and allow young artists to create bright, transparent layers without the need for harsh chemicals.

Question 3

Do you test on animals?

Accepted Answer

No, we don't test on animals.

Question 4

What is non-hardening modelling clay?

Accepted Answer

Our modelling clay is a modern version of traditional Plasticine—soft, non-hardening, and specially developed for young children.
It’s perfect for preschool and primary school use, staying pliable without drying out, so it can be used again and again.

It’s made from a blend of high-quality waxes, purified mineral fillers, and safe colorants, all carefully selected to meet the requirements of European Toy Safety Standard EN71. The texture is smooth and easy to knead, even for small hands, and it allows for precise shaping without cracking or crumbling.

✅ Does not harden over time
✅ Does not contain substances classified as hazardous
✅ Leaves no oily residue and doesn’t stick to hands
✅ Tested for children aged 3+ under EU safety standards

While “Plasticine” is a trademarked brand name, our modelling clay follows the same non-hardening principle, offering a child-safe and creative experience—just without the trademark.
