Catnip Hydrosol

Organic Catnip Hydrosol - Uses and Benefits: 

A gentle and versatile floral water, prized for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and insect-repellent properties. Distilled from the leaves and flowers of Nepeta cataria, it offers a milder, water-based alternative to essential oils, making it perfect for sensitive skin and a wide variety of applications.  Aromatically, Catnip Hydrosol is mildly uplifting and relaxing, promoting stress relief and emotional balance. It's a great addition to a calming nighttime routine, helping to ease tension and promote restful sleep.

In skincare, Catnip Hydrosol is known for its ability to soothe irritation and reduce redness. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for calming skin conditions such as eczema, rashes, and insect bites. It can be used as a cooling facial toner, a post-sun spray, or as a soothing mist to reduce irritation and refresh the skin.

An effective and natural insect repellent, studies have shown that compounds in catnip, like nepetalactone, are more effective at repelling insects than DEET in some cases. This floral water is a perfect, non-toxic alternative for repelling mosquitoes, ticks, and other pests, making it an excellent choice for outdoor use or in homemade bug sprays.

Organic Catnip Hydrosol is a safe, mild option for cats, offering a gentle way to support their well-being. It can be used to calm anxious or stressed cats, making it ideal for use during travel, vet visits, or changes in their environment. A light mist on bedding or around their living space can help soothe their nerves without overstimulating them like concentrated catnip. It is excellent for deterring pests naturally, providing a non-toxic way to keep fleas and ticks at bay.
