What is Catnip Essential Oil?

Steam-distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of Nepeta cataria, Catnip Essential Oil is rich in nepetalactone—a compound shown in studies to be even more effective than DEET in repelling mosquitoes. But its powers don’t stop there. This aromatic herb is also known to soothe frazzled nerves and promote a sense of calm.
