FAQs
Catnip essential oil is commonly used in natural insect-repellent blends, diffuser blends, room sprays, and outdoor aromatherapy formulations. It is also valued for its fresh, herbaceous scent and calming aromatic character.
It is widely associated with natural insect-repellent use because of its nepetalactone content, which is one of the oil’s key differentiating constituents.

No. Like other essential oils, it should be diluted before topical use.
Avoid direct use on pets unless the formula is specifically designed for pet safety and professional guidance has been taken. Essential oil safety for pets differs from the safety of the dried catnip plant.
A Little History
Catnip essential oil comes from Nepeta cataria, a mint-family herb native to Europe and parts of Asia. Traditionally used in herbal remedies and teas, it later spread to North America, where modern research highlighted its distinctive aromatic compound, nepetalactone, and its natural insect-repelling reputation.
