Mountain Parameters distributes Pure Essential Catnip Oil in quantities ranging from gallons to millilitres.

The Canadian catnip listed here typically yields in the range of 80-90% nepetelactone. It is stored in glass or lined aluminum containers within a constant temperature range of 3-8 degrees C. and bottle air cavities are purged with an inert gas to prevent oxidization from occurring. The Catnip Oil is food grade and previous GC analysis has not found any pesticide residues as it is not grown using pesticides. It is not certified organic. It is non GMO. A small amount of BHT is added as preservative at the source agricultural facility. It is sourced from the same facility that supplies the Iowa State University with their Catnip and is what was used in their testing and subsequent patent application.

Catnip, although it grows widely, is hard to cultivate and extract, thus the high price of the essential oil.

Oil is from plants grown in Alberta, Canada, is a gold color and smells of fresh cut hay. It is the same source as that tested by Iowa State University. We store it in nitrogen filled glass containers at constant temperature. Typical analysis of this oil: there are 5 major nepetalactone isomers present at 0.1% or more, and there are a total of 11 nepetalactone isomers in total. Total nepetalactone of this oil is typically over 81% and previous lots have measured as high as 90%. This oil is not certified organic but pesticides are not used by the farm where it is grown and extracted.

How to comparison shop (why are EO's sold by the lb?): Comparing the wholesale price of Catnip between suppliers that sell it by the lb (EG in the USA) and by the litre (the rest of the world) can be confusing. A lb of Catnip oil would equal about 453ml if it were the same specific gravity as water, but it is not. Therefore a lb of catnip typically is about 430 ml.
