Oh this looks lovely! I am considering the buy Mont Marte soft oil pastels too, do you recommend them? They look creamy and beautiful, but my only concern is that their safety, since they dont have any certification from AP / CL.
@sebnemsimsek Hello! Thank you so much for your comment. I highly recommend Mont Marte because it’s very affordable compared to other soft oil pastels. It offers a wide range of colors and has creamy texture, which makes it much easier to create textures in our drawings. Regarding the AP and CL certifications, I quickly checked the packaging. Although it’s written in Chinese, luckily, we live in a time where technology makes everything so much easier! 😍 The Mont Marte soft oil pastels are not suitable for children under 3 years old but are fine for students aged 14 and above. Since I’m older than that, I think it’s perfectly fine for me to use. I also checked Mont Marte’s website, and they state that the product is non-toxic. Honestly, I’m still not sure what the AP/CL certification would look like, but this is all the information I could find so far. I hope this helps! Thank you so much 🌻 Wishing you a lovely day ☁️✨️🤍
Thank you for the answer 🤍 In case you haven’t heard them before, here are the definition of certificates I found from the internet; The Approved Product (AP) Seal The AP Seal identifies art materials that are safe and certified in a toxicological evaluation by a medical expert to contain no materials in sufficient quantities to be toxic or injurious to humans, including children, or to cause acute or chronic health problems. Children in grade six and lower, and adults who may not be able to read and understand safety labeling should use only non-toxic materials. The AP Seal ensures products are non-toxic when used as intended for young children, the physically or mentally handicapped, and any persons who cannot read or understand the safety labeling on product packages. + The Cautionary Labeling (CL) Seal The CL Seal identifies products that are certified to be properly labeled in a program of toxicological evaluation by a medical expert for any known health risks and with information on the safe and proper use of these materials. This seal appears on only a small percentage of adult art materials in ACMI’s certification program and on none of the children’s materials. These products are also certified by ACMI to be labeled in accordance with the chronic hazard labeling standard, ASTM D 4236, and the U.S. Labeling of Hazardous Art Materials Act (LHAMA). Products with this seal are not hazardous if used correctly. It is important to read the product label in full before opening a product that has the CL Seal. These products should never be given to children in grade 6 or lower or anyone with a physical or mental handicap who is unable to read and understand safety labeling on packages.

BTW, I guess they have AP certificate! I just checked the ACMI website, and when I searched Mont Marte, I found it! 😊
