DEET-Free Repellent

Golden Hour™

Rated 4.6 out of 5

Based on 206 reviews

A clean bug spray that works—naturally.

This first-of-its-kind formula repels mosquitos with a unique strain of Indonesian citronella that's more effective than any other we've found. But don't worry, we put it through independent trials just to be sure. Kinfield Golden Hour™ does the trick, and smells amazing, too—think a little bit citrus, a little bit vanilla. There's a reason this one keeps selling out.

Size: 3oz / 89ml

A DEET-free bug spray that doesn’t stink—and works really, really well. My mother, who is even more beloved by biting insects than I am, wore it on a marshy family hike and didn’t get a single nibble.

We tested it all last summer and...didn’t get bitten once.

This is definitely not Off!, and that’s exactly what makes us want to put it on.

The story of Golden Hour began in Bali, where our founder encountered a strain of Citronella that was unlike anything she had tried before.

From there, we worked closely with researchers and independent labs to develop and test our perfect formula—one that would smell great and actually work.

Use It When

Any time you'd rather not be snacked on by bugs while dining al fresco, sitting around the campfire, or enjoying an evening stroll.

Directions

Spray liberally over exposed skin or fitted clothing. Use adult supervision when applying to children. When applying to your face or to children, spray into hands first and pat to apply. Do not use on the hands of children. Reapply every 2 hours or as often as needed. We recommend patch testing on a small area of skin when using for the first time or when using in a new environment, as our product contains essential oils.

IT WORKS!

I’m so happy to have found this spray! We live in TX and mosquitoes are relentless in the summer. My son is a magnet for them, and this is the first all-natural spray I’ve found that actually works! We’ve been using it for 2-3 weeks now with no new bites. He also has sensitive skin and this has not caused his eczema to flare. A new must-have in our diaper bag!

I only got bitten twice!

Was in Charleston pruning trees around sunset one afternoon last week when the mosquitoes are usually out in full force. Last visit a few months ago I got EATEN by noseeums - had like 50 bites before I even realized it. This time I packed my travel size bottle of Golden Hour and sprayed myself down pretty liberally (maybe do that part outside lol - it's kind of strong!) I honestly don't think I expected it to work so well - even though I still got a few bites (idk if I sprayed those parts?), it was WAY better than the misery of being covered in them. I will be getting the full sized bottle soon.

Smells lovely

I haven't tried it in a super high bug zone yet, but I put it on before heading out for a picnic and it smelled lovely and I didn't get bitten!
