Does Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan actually contain chalk?
First and foremost, the Chalk Paint® brand name does not reference the ingredients of the paint, but rather, its finish. Like many paints, Chalk Paint® decorative paint contains calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate can be obtained from many sources including, limestone, chalk, and marble. In addition to those natural sources, calcium carbonate can be synthetically produced. While the Chalk Paint® decorative paint formula is a highly-protected trade secret, we can say that the calcium carbonate used in Chalk Paint® decorative paint is derived from a number of sources, including U.S. limestone quarries.
Chalk Paint® is the unique water-based decorative paint Annie Sloan developed for furniture, floors and walls. There is only one Chalk Paint® but it offers endless possibilities. Chalk Paint® is non-toxic, very low VOC, eg-free, odour-free and lead-free. Chalk Paint® is Annie Sloan paint.
Now a global phenomenon, Annie Sloan first developed the Chalk Paint® range in 1990 to answer the need she had for a versatile paint that would work beautifully on furniture without priming or sanding; that would be easy to use and quick to dry; and that could be used for a number of different paint techniques. She called it Chalk Paint® because of its velvety, ultra matte finish.

What about other paints that contain chalk? Can’t they be called ‘Chalk Paint’ too?
To begin, the Chalk Paint® brand name does not reference the ingredients of the paint, but rather, its finish. Chalk Paint® is Annie Sloan Interiors’ brand of decorative paint. It is not a generic good.
There has never been a collective name for paints that contain chalk, probably because their properties vary so much. Historically, there have been traditional paints that contain whiting ('whiting' is the equivalent of chalk in the paint-making world), such as gesso and calcimine or distemper. There are also paints made with lime, such as whitewash. In modern times, calcium carbonate is used in all manner of emulsions, eggshell, acrylic and latex paints. While they may have some ingredients in common, all of these paints will behave in different ways and achieve different finishes.
