Lilypad Paint is proud to be included in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026 list, recognized in the Manufacturing & Materials category! 🪷
This year’s list features 300 extraordinary innovations changing our lives, and we’re thrilled to be one of them.
Lilypad was developed by our parent company, Adept Materials, with one question: what if paint could do more than look good?
Powered by our patented Vaporwisp™ Technology, Lilypad absorbs water v***r when humidity spikes and releases it as your room dries, helping homes stay healthier, more durable, and more comfortable.
“It’s time to rethink what building materials can do,” says our founder, Derek Stein. “Lilypad takes a simple, decorative product and gives it a greater purpose.”
Thank you to our community for believing in a smarter kind of paint from day one. 🤍
