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.

My husband used to get bitten a lot while working out in our garage. He says that after using Golden Hour, he hasn’t gotten bitten once.

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.
