Mosquito Repellent

Golden Hour™

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Based on 1042 reviews

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!

Will it repel all insects? Is it safe for kids? How often should I reapply? View All FAQs

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.

I love it! I spray randomly about my legs, arms and clothing and I don’t get bitten. Most all natural products I’ve used, I’ve had to cover every inch of my body to prevent bites but this one works all over with just a few sprays

So grateful for this spray!!!

I didn’t think this would work as well as it does! I have not got bit at all while wearing it. The screens on our apartment aren’t great so I always get terribly bit up on my ankles. Many of my mosquito bites would get infected and turn into horribly painful boils- even if I didn’t scratch them! Now, I can spray on my ankles before bed and I’m absolutely fine. I hated wearing any deet products because I found the smell unbearable and my skin didn’t like the spray. This stuff has changed my life.

This smells REALLY strong at first spray! It is potent. It doesn’t smell badly but it’s just a strong smell so I spray myself outside. It fades very nicely and I don’t notice the smell after 5 minutes. I do occasional fieldwork in my job so I’m excited to see how this does in the outdoors. I haven’t gotten bit when out on the lawn at nighttime, usually I get destroyed, so I’m really hopeful!
