# Cat-Friendly Fragrance Mists Basic Earth Essentials' 'Fresh Cat' Distillate Water Removes Odors By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-02-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-cat References: [basicearthessentials](https://www.basicearthessentials.com/shop/pets/cats/fresh-cat/) Basic Earth Essentials' 'Fresh Cat' hydrosol mist is an all-natural way to remove unpleasant [pet odors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zep-freshen) and litter box smells that can accumulate in the household. The [all-natural Fresh Cat spray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refresh-mist) formula is made without any synthetic fragrance additives and includes only the distillate waters of lime, orange and peppermint. There are some concerns with using essential oils around cats, but hydrosols, which are also known as floral waters or distillates are safe. Because the distillate water mist is all-natural, it is safe enough to be sprayed directly onto a pet's bedding, toys or cage. It can also be used as a [general-purpose room spray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-room-spray) and as Basic Earth Essentials notes, the "product can be misted and lightly massaged or brushed into [a] cat’s coat." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pet Odor Removal:** Creating all-natural products specifically designed to remove pet odors and litter box smells. - **Hydrosol Mists:** Developing sprays made from distillate waters or floral waters as an alternative to synthetic fragrance additives. - **Safe Essential Oil Alternatives:** Exploring hydrosols as a safe option for scenting products and using essential oils around pets. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Care:** Incorporating all-natural pet odor removal products into the pet care industry. - **Aromatherapy:** Integrating hydrosol mists as a natural and safe alternative in the aromatherapy industry. - **Home Fragrance:** Expanding the market for all-natural scenting options in the home fragrance industry with safe essential oil alternatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Calming Cat Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calming-cat-diffuser.md) - [Soothing Pet Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragrances-for-pets.md) - [All-Natural Air Care Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-care-product.md) - [Cat-Friendly Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wisesky-wcat-air-purifier.md) - [Calming Multi-Purpose Lavender Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshen-up-spray.md) - [Natural Oil Air Fresheners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-air-freshener-sprays.md) - [Uplifting Aromatherapy Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purifying-air-spray.md) - [CBD-Infused Room Fresheners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cbd-live-natural-room-freshener.md) - [Extra-Fragrant Cat Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskas-aromatic-selection.md)
