Mosquito Repellent

Golden Hour™
$22

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Based on 265 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. But don't worry, we put it through independent trials just to be sure. Kinfield Golden Hour™ does the trick, and smells amazing, too—think a little bit citrus, a little bit vanilla. There's a reason this one keeps selling out.

Size: 3oz / 89ml

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.

We tested it all last summer and...didn’t get bitten once.

A DEET-free 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.

This is definitely not Off!, and that’s exactly what makes us want to put it on.

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.

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.

Plastic Bottle

Made from Type 1 plastic, this bottle should be cleaned out and recycled curbside. Don't forget to remove the label!

Hate regular bug spray

I hate the smell of regular bug spray almost as much as my husband hates mosquitos.

We both love GoldenHour. No stink AND No bites.

Amazing. My new staple

I used this on a camping trip with friends. People were skeptical of the all-natural aspect, but I was the only one not bit by mosquitos. In the end everyone asked to use some
