Mission Statement
At Livos, our commitment is to manufacture environmentally sustainable products and incorporate environmental awareness and high quality service with years of experience obtained in Europe and Australia from using the Livos range of products. We commit ourselves to keeping abreast of new developments and passing these onto our suppliers and customers.
The Livos Story
In Germany during the early 1970s, a small group of teachers (including some hobby chemists) saw a need for non-toxic finger-paints for their students. Once these safe paints became known in Germany, the teachers were flooded with requests from schools and hospitals. They started to develop a wide range of paints and varnishes based on the Rudolf Steiner principle of using natural raw materials. Today, as the whole world realizes the importance of living in an environmentally responsible, sustainable way. At Livos, we believe that healthy living in the home environment is the best place to start.
Green living with Livos
At Livos we don't just manufacture environmentally sustainable products. We also have a commitment to help people live sustainably.
Educating people about their options for healthy, environmentally responsible living is a key part of what we do. It all starts with a range of products designed to help people reduce their environmental footprint.
The benefits of our products:
- are ecologically sustainable, using organically sourced natural raw materials;
- use recyclable packaging, minimising contribution to landfill;
-can be used in smaller quantities then chemical products, helping both the environment and your wallet;
- are available in various sizes, enabling you to try samples if required before you buy.
- are recyclable and biodegradable, and cause no harm to the environment.
As we continue to innovate with new products, we also educate consumers about them - for instance, how to use our new oils on Australian timbers and in commercial projects. We have full hands on experience using the timber oils and have set new standards for the industry in our level of education and support.
Why use natural oils?
According to Daniel Wurm, president of the GreenPainters Association:
Conventional paints can make the air you breathe a chemical cocktail even long after they have dried, as they continue to release petroleum based solvents, called Volatile Organic Compounds [VOCs] as they cure.
Livos natural oils use plant-derived solvents and binders instead of synthetic ones, so have much lower VOC levels than conventional paints (between zero and 3%). That's why our oils are the best choice for families who are concerned about their own health, as well as the health of the planet.
Livos natural oils are very economical to use for both internal and external areas. They have excellent coverage, allow boards to move, and can be spot repaired and rejuvenated. We also have follow up maintenance and rejuvenation products, as well as cleaning products for different surfaces, both internal and external.
