    So, I just made up some hand-salve without essential oils, and with cat-safe ingredients! After I tweak the recipe, I'll be gifting some to a friend who has a number of cats.

    Cat-safe ingredients:
    - Beeswax
    - Cocoa Butter
    - Tallow
    - Palm Oil
    - Olive Oil

    Even coconut oil can be problematic, it seems!

    Just a reminder... Especially when making gifts for those with cats!

    ASPCA List of Toxic #EssentialOils for Cats You Should Avoid

    Author Becky Murray

    Posted Aug 20, 2025

    Excerpt: "If you're a cat owner who loves aromatherapy, be aware that some essential oils can be toxic to your feline friends. The ASPCA has a list of oils to avoid, and it's essential to check it out.

    Peppermint oil is one of the oils on the list, and it can cause vomiting and diarrhea in cats if ingested.

    Some oils, like tea tree oil, can cause more severe symptoms, including tremors, seizures, and even liver failure in cats.

    Eucalyptus oil is another oil to steer clear of, as it can cause respiratory problems and other issues in cats.

    Other common toxic essential oils to cats and dogs include cinnamon, citrus, clove, peppermint, sweet birch, thyme, and YlangYlang.

    If your pet comes into contact with any of these oils, immediately contact your vet, the ASPCA Poison Control Center, or visit the nearest veterinary emergency hospital.

    Some essential oils that are particularly toxic to cats include:

    Lavender oil (especially toxic to cats)
    Oregano oil (especially toxic to cats)
    Pine oil
    Sweet Birch oil
    Tea Tree oil
    Thyme oil
    Wintergreen oil
    Ylang Ylang oil

    Remember, even if an essential oil is natural, it's not inherently safe for your cat. Always keep essential oils out of reach of your pets and consult with your veterinarian if you're unsure about the safety of any product."
