Sennelier Oil Pastels (Pastels à l'Huile), manufactured in Paris, are made with carefully selected mineral and organic pigments, mixed with a specially formulated non-drying binder, and combined with the finest quality wax. Sennelier Oil Pastels have an exceptionally creamy texture. They adhere strictly to standards for acid-free and archival permanence. The binder and mineral wax are both acid-free. Sennelier Oil Pastels can be combined with other painting mediums to achieve unique effects. The concentration of high-quality pigments used in Sennelier Oil Pastels gives them exceptional covering power, vibrancy, and intensity. Sennelier Oil Pastels contain no oxidants. This guarantees preservation of the color intensity of the pigments without yellowing or cracking, and it also prevents deterioration of the surface or support. Because they contain no oxidants, oil pastels will never dry out, but the surface can be sealed with a fixative.
