The Holbein Artists Gouache Set of 12 comes with 5ml tubes. According to the manufacturer's product information, these paints are non-toxic, but they do include a Proposition 65 warning. This is a standard California label that alerts consumers to the presence of chemicals that could potentially cause cancer or reproductive harm.

Generally, under typical use, they're deemed safe, but it's always a good idea to work in a well-ventilated space and avoid eating them or having prolonged skin contact—particularly if you're prone to allergies or sensitivities.

Artists really like this set for its vibrant colors and smooth application. According to our research, they're particularly known for the way their colors stay workable even after drying, which is great for anyone doing detailed layering and blending.

We've found some concerns about the 5ml tube size being a bit small, but they're handy for testing out colors before buying bigger sizes. Folks like Leah and Kristin have praised these gouaches for their rich, opaque colors and how well they hold their pigment compared to other brands.

Though some, like Jesenia, have pointed out the limitation of the smaller size, others like Neverbored and Kaylin Jackson appreciate how portable the tubes are. This is especially useful if you're frequently on the move or just want to try out gouache without investing too much upfront.

So, while the tube size might not be ideal for everyone, the set's quality and convenience make it a solid choice, whether you're just starting or have been painting for years.
