Mosquito Repellent
Golden Hour™
$22
Rated 4.4 out of 5
Even more travel-friendly: Shop Golden Hour Wipes!
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 (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.

FAQs
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.

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

I used to tote around a vial of citronella oil just in case but I don't love smelling like a cheap summer candle, so I often avoided applying it and got eaten alive. There is a citronella note to this spray, but there's also a creamy vanilla and enough other stuff that I don't feel like the dollar store on the 4th of July. Just a couple spritzes and my family and I are bug-free all night!

The best bug spray repellent out there!
I took this on a trip to Belize and it worked incredibly well all week long. I didn't feel gross after putting it on as I usually do with most mosquito repellants. And it smells great, too!
