Even though Sukh Living only uses pure, plant-based fragrances, “natural” does not always mean safe for pets, particularly cats, who lack a specific liver enzyme needed to metabolize certain compounds.
Our plant-based fragrances are not essential oils but more dilute. But some plant-based fragrances  might be enhanced with small quantities of essential oils. Therefore, it’s important to note which Essential oils to always avoid around both cats and dogs include:
  • Tea Tree (Melaleuca): Highly toxic and can cause severe illness or death.
  • Citrus Oils: (Limonene, e.g., Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit).
  • Peppermint & Eucalyptus: Can cause respiratory irritation and other symptoms.
  • Pine & Wintergreen: Contain compounds that can lead to severe issues like liver or kidney damage.
  • Cinnamon, Clove, & Ylang Ylang.
  • Pennyroyal & Sweet Birch.
