Derivan watercolours not free of animal derivatives

Derivan Watercolours: some contain oxgall and several a small amount of honey.

Thank you, Freia, for informing me about this matter. I checked the Derivan watercolour information sheet  – and sure enough, it states there,  that in some colours oxgall is an additive.

I don’t know whether they changed the formula or it was overlooked in April 2018, when I contacted the brand.  Back then, the only animal ingredients in their products was ‘ivory black’ in only the Matisse range (ingredient :charred bones).

Please always check – double check the products you are interested in, better be precautious than sorry later on.

The oldest information you can find here will date back to 2017. A lot can change within three years, e.g. ingredients of products.  I am grateful to you for notifying me about changes you spotted.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give you a heads-up, at the moment, outlook won’t let me send emails out,but receiving them still works.

I mention this because I am not able to reply to your messages. So I reply here and hope you will find it and don’t think I overlooked your mail.

Thank you Ben, for writing in about spraypaints.  I didn’t have really success so far, but will start a new round of inquiries as soon as I can send mails again.

  • Edding: don’t test on animals and don’t commission others to do so, cannot guarantee that their raw materials are completely free of animal derivatives;
