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.

Love this stuff!

I cannot use Deet because it causes migraines. Plus, who wants to use that toxic stuff on a regular basis? I live in Florida and this golden stuff works. Plus, I've gotten compliments on the smell. So, win-win! Only downside is the spray bottle does not work well when spraying my legs. But I got a continuous spray bottle and that does the trick.

Actually works!

I bought the repellent spray around Black Friday so I could use it on my vacation in February. I just got back and I’m so happy I bought it! I always get attacked by mosquitoes on vacation but this time I barely did. I bought it for myself but my whole family used it and was in love with it! The scent is a bit strong and does hit you in the face but once rubbed into the skin it isn’t so bad. I highly recommend this product.

Miracle for Wasians like me

Mosquitos like to eat me up and make me puff like an itchy water balloon, but I’ve had absolutely ZERO bites while wearing this stuff. I love that it’s not a bunch of nasty, sticky DEET chemicals. I recommend applying it outside though if you have cats or dogs, since essential oils aren’t great for them to ingest or inhale. Made the mistake of applying inside one time and it was very strong so I cordoned my cats off from the area lol. A lot of people seem to complain about the scent but I personally love the smell of citronella so it doesn’t bother me. I’ll be using this for LIFE
