Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of pet supplies manufacturing and candle manufacturing technology, specifically to a cat-specific catnip essential oil candle that has the functions of calming cats and purifying indoor air. Background Technology

[0002] Pet ownership is common in Chinese households, with cats being a popular choice. Since cats primarily live indoors, and their urine produces ammonia after bacterial decomposition, it severely impacts indoor air quality and irritates human respiratory mucous membranes. In multi-cat households, cats are more prone to anxiety and stress due to the stress of living with multiple cats. Anxious cats may urinate indiscriminately. Currently, products on the market for calming cats mainly include soothing toys and medications. However, these products have limitations, such as poor soothing effects and the potential presence of harmful ingredients. Products addressing pet odor, such as air fresheners, mostly use chemically synthesized fragrances, primarily masking the odor, which may pose potential threats to the environment and human health.

[0003] In the candle product sector, existing candles are mainly used for lighting, decoration, or general air freshening, lacking products specifically designed for the needs of pet cats. This fails to meet the dual needs of pet-owning families for improving their pets' living environment and indoor air quality. Therefore, developing a candle product that can effectively soothe cats and purify indoor odors is of significant practical importance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cat-specific catnip essential oil candle. The scent of catnip has a strong attraction and calming effect on cats. In traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, catnip is a commonly used diaphoretic herb, with pungent and slightly warm properties, entering the lung and liver meridians, possessing multiple effects and widely used in the prevention and treatment of livestock and poultry diseases. Traditional Chinese veterinary medicine believes that catnip enters the liver meridian, dispelling wind and promoting blood circulation. Its pungent and dispersing properties can open the pores and expel pathogenic factors, allowing the disease to be resolved from the surface of the body. After being charred, it becomes astringent and can astringe blood vessels and stop bleeding. Modern pharmacological research also shows that catnip contains volatile oils (such as nepetaol and menthone), which have antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and hemostatic effects, providing a scientific basis for its clinical application. At the same time, the burning of the candle can absorb odors in the air, addressing the shortcomings of existing pet calming products and air purifiers, effectively relieving cat anxiety, purifying indoor odors caused by pets, and creating a comfortable and healthy living environment for cats and their owners.

[0005] Technical solution

[0006] The cat-shaped catnip essential oil candle of the present invention comprises the following components by weight: 80%-99.9% soy wax, 0%-15% beeswax, 0%-15% coconut wax, and 0.01%-5% catnip essential oil.

[0007] Soy wax: As the main carrier of candles, it is a natural plant wax extracted from soybeans. It has the characteristics of stable combustion, no smoke, and no pollution, ensuring that the candle will not produce substances that are harmful to cats and humans during the burning process.

[0008] Beeswax: Beeswax, the raw material for this patented candle, is a fatty substance secreted by worker bees. It contains acids and other components, and possesses specific density, melting point, and solubility characteristics, providing the basic conditions for candle making and burning. Its combustion performance is superior to traditional paraffin wax, it produces no harmful smoke, emits fragrance, and burns for a long time, meeting both environmental protection and usage needs.

[0009] Coconut wax: Coconut wax is extracted from mature coconut meat and is pure and free of harmful substances. It boasts excellent combustion performance; compared to traditional paraffin candles, it burns more slowly and cleaner, producing very little smoke. It also has a high fragrance-carrying capacity, allowing the candle to release a rich aroma, and its burning time is significantly extended.

[0010] Catnip essential oil: Extracted from the catnip plant, also known as nepeta, it is rich in limonene, linalool, eugenol, and other substances, which have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Limonene is highly volatile and can improve odor; linalool has calming and antibacterial properties and is widely used in the fragrance and pharmaceutical industries. It has a soothing effect on the nerves and relaxes the mind and body, effectively calming cats and relieving their anxiety and tension. Additionally, catnip essential oil has some deodorizing ability and can help purify indoor odors.

[0011] The specific steps of its preparation method are as follows:

[0012] 1. Place the wax material in a container and heat it to melt it completely into a liquid state.

[0013] 2. After the wax has melted, add catnip essential oil and stir thoroughly to ensure that all ingredients are fully mixed.

[0014] 3. Pour the well-mixed liquid into the prepared mold, place the candle wick inside, and let it cool naturally at room temperature to set, thus obtaining a cat cat catnip essential oil candle.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] High safety: This invention uses natural ingredients such as natural wax and catnip essential oil, and does not contain harmful chemicals. It is safe and harmless to cats and humans, avoiding the potential health risks to pets and family members caused by the use of chemically synthesized products.

[0017] Significant calming effect: Nepeta lactone contained in catnip essential oil stimulates the cat's olfactory system, thereby triggering the release of neurotransmitters and producing pleasurable behavior. It can effectively stimulate the cat's nerves. When the candle is burning, its fragrance fills the room, which can significantly relieve the cat's anxiety, make the cat more relaxed, and improve the cat's comfort and quality of life.

[0018] Strong odor purification ability: During the burning process, the deodorizing effect of catnip essential oil and the synergistic effect of carbon particles produced by combustion can effectively decompose and absorb odors caused by pets in the room, such as cat litter odor and pet excrement odor, purify indoor air, and improve the indoor odor environment. It is especially suitable for families with multiple cats and families with strong pet odor.

[0019] Excellent user experience: The candle burns stably, produces no smoke or irritating odor during burning, and maintains its shape well; at the same time, it is equipped with natural fragrance enhancers, making the room smell fresh and pleasant without producing any pungent or unpleasant odors.

[0020] The preparation process is simple: the preparation method of the present invention is easy to operate, the required equipment and raw materials are easy to obtain, it is suitable for large-scale industrial production, and it helps to reduce production costs and improve production efficiency. Detailed Implementation

[0021] Example 1

[0022] Formula: 98% soybean wax, 1% beeswax, 1% catnip essential oil.

[0023] Preparation process: Accurately weigh soybean wax, beeswax, and catnip essential oil according to the above preparation method. After heating and melting the wax materials, add catnip essential oil and stir evenly. Place the mixture into the candle wick and cast it into shape. The resulting candle burns stably, has a higher hardness than pure soybean wax, a delicate fragrance, and a longer burning time.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Formula: 97% soybean wax, 3% catnip essential oil.

[0026] Preparation process: Repeat the above preparation steps. This candle has a rich aroma when burned, quickly creating a soothing atmosphere, allowing the benefits of catnip essential oil to be fully realized.

[0027] Example 3

[0028] Formula: 93% soybean wax, 2% coconut wax, 5% catnip essential oil.

[0029] Preparation process: Repeat the preparation steps above. This candle has a stronger fragrance and produces less smoke when burning coconut wax compared to pure soy wax. However, due to the relatively high essential oil content, a small amount of essential oil may seep out from the surface of the candle during combustion, but this does not affect the overall performance.
