We recommend you don't wear any clothes or shoes that you don't want to be stained. The paint manufacture says, "Our color powder washes out of most clothing. However, it can stain some materials. 100% cotton clothing is recommended and typical machine washing with stain remover, removes the stains. We recommend removing excess powder from clothing before washing and/or applying water."

​
For skin and hair, shaking off excess powder before washing with water really helps. Normal soap and water should remove color powder from skin and hair. The paint manufacture states, "some color does tend to linger for a few days especially on blonde hair. If you are worried about staining, we recommend applying a moisturizer to skin and coating your hair with a small amount of coconut or olive oil before the event."
​
The paint is gluten free and does not contain dairy, nuts, wheat, soy or other common allergens. The paint manufacturer says, "although it is made from all food safe ingredients, it is not created in a food safe facility and is not intended for human consumption." If you have an allergy please take the necessary precautions and consult with your physician.
