Non Toxic Paint and Paint Thinners

I have used Artisan Water Soluble Paints for years and have found them wonderful, but not on the same level as oil paints for richness and depth of colour.

Does anyone have any recommendations for paint thinners? the only one mentioned to me was Citric Thinner and I havn't been able to source this so far.

I tried the Artisan Water Soluble Paints years ago, but found them very slow to dry. There's a place in Malahide Road Industrial Estate that seems to stock Citrus Solvent. Here's the link;
