About
Hydrogenated catnip oil — the catnip essential oil chemically saturated to make it more stable and less reactive. Useful for texture and mild antimicrobial effect, but data is thin and sensitization is still possible.

- Mild antimicrobial activity
- Texture-enhancing effect from saturated fats
Known concerns
