Escentia Catnip Hydrosol

Escentia Catnip Hydrosol is a single-ingredient botanical hydrosol distilled from the purple flowers of Nepeta cataria , used as a gentle water-based ingredient for DIY cosmetic and home fragrancing applications. It is commonly enjoyed for its soft, comforting character in pillow mists, bedtime sprays, and outdoor spray blends.

This is a hydrosol, not an essential oil, so it is far lighter and can be used very differently in formulations. It can also be misted onto suitable play items for cats. Why we love it: Catnip hydrosol is one of those charming, versatile botanicals that feels just as at home in a calming evening mist as it does in a playful pet-friendly spray.

It is easy to work with, beautifully simple, and a lovely option for makers who enjoy botanical waters with more than one practical use.

A: Yes, it works well as a base or companion hydrosol in DIY spray blends, especially when you want a softer botanical profile.

Q: Can I spray it directly onto my cats toys? A: Yes, a light mist can be used on suitable play items your cat is free to interact with. Use sparingly and make sure the item itself is pet-safe.
