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

Will Golden Hour really help repel mosquitoes?

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!

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. 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.

Works for tropical bugs!

I travel to Costa Rica often for work, staying on our beach front property. Sand flies, mosquitoes, and noseeums are everywhere! Golden Hour keeps them all at bay! I reapply every 2-3 hours and have 90% less bug bites than usual. The smell is so pleasant and it does not irritate my skin at all. Way better than using deet-filled products.

So far so good!

I've used my Golden Hour a few times now when I knew I would be vulnerable for bites especially certain times of the day. Since trying the product I haven't received any mosquito bites. I'm hoping it works as well for no-seeums...we shall see. BTW the smell is pleasant but initially strong. Not a deal breaker at all and I prefer it over most bug sprays still.

My new go to

I love this product! I've been looking for a new bug spray that has clean ingredients and this has proven to be the best. My boyfriend and I go biking and walking on a river path that has lots of mosquitoes and usually after getting back my legs look like a feasting ground for them. After using this I can confidently say that there are very few to no mosquito bites.
