Catnip Oil

Catnip Oil (Nepeta cataria) is a cosmetic-grade essential oil steam-distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of the catnip plant. Known for its calming properties, this aromatic oil is not just for cats – it offers powerful skin-soothing, anti-inflammatory, and insect-repellent benefits in cosmetic applications.

• Soothes irritated or inflamed skin
• Acts as a natural insect repellent (mosquitoes & bugs)
• Helps reduce redness and minor skin discomfort
• Calms sensitive or reactive skin
• Can be used in cooling body oils, lotions, and hair rinses
• Mild herbal aroma supports natural skincare formulations

3. Add to lotions, balms, or sprays during the cool-down phase
4. External use only – do not ingest or apply to pets
