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 (we put it through independent testing, just to be sure!).
Kinfield Golden Hour™ smells amazing, too—think a little bit citrus, a little bit vanilla. There's a reason this one keeps selling out.
Golden Hour actually smells good. I’ve even had strangers ask what scent I’m wearing. But more importantly: It works. I’ve tested Golden Hour both in the city and countryside, and so far I’m happily bite-free.
I can whole-heartedly swear on all the mosquitos in the world that Golden Hour works.
A 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 buy spray smells amazing, but more importantly—it works.
The story of Golden Hour began in Bali, where our founder encountered a strain of Citronella that was unlike anything she had tried before.
It was effective against mosquitoes, grown locally on an island in Indonesia, and smelled delicious.
We then worked closely with researchers and independent labs to develop and test our perfect formula—a plant-based repellent that actually works.

You bet! Golden Hour's performance has been tested against Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes through two rounds of double-blind testing by an independent lab. While independent results depend on your skin's unique biome, the lab confirmed an average of 3+ hours of protection time for most people. We have hundreds of rave reviews, too!
Golden Hour has only been tested against Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes. We hope to do additional testing soon to confirm protection against other types of insects.

Directions
Once outside, spray liberally over exposed skin or fitted clothing. Use adult supervision when applying to children.

I just moved to Texas and got eaten alive the first week in our back yard. I remember seeing you on shark tank and gave it a try. I made it through the night outside with no bites.

Light weight in feel and scent and effective! I work outside in the southeastern US and the bugs are aggressive here. I arrived home without a bite when I used Golden Hour

My daughters and I are at the barn with our horses every night and we are frequented by gnats and mosquitos. I love that this has a light fresh feeling on my skin and hair and I don't come away smelling like the deep woods stuff.
