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.

Seems to work well

I have only used this 2 times but I think mostly it kept mosquitoes away. It smells good-a little strong for me but it is a good smell.

Best mosquito repellent ever!

I always get eaten up by mosquitoes no matter which repellent I use, until now. I was at an outdoor bbq at night and did not get one mosquito bite with this repellent. It’s absolutely amazing! I’m so happy to be able to enjoy the outdoors again and not have to worry about mosquitoes. Thank you Kinfield!
