I live in Jackson, WY where it is super dry and summer or winter creates a lot of harshness for the skin. I've been using Kinfield's SOS rescue mask for about 6 months and absolutely love it as a night time cream. It's the perfect relief for long days outside.

Best bug repellent spray ever. The scent is so nice that I sometimes spray it on even when I’m unlikely to encounter any bugs. 

I'd love a different scent or unscented option for the bug spray if possible.

I was really excited about this bug spray and was hoping it would be like Supergoop for bug spray, and I love it in theory, but the smell was really overpowering and hard for me to get over or enjoy wearing.

light bug spray works and doesn't have that overpowering "bug spray" smell

Would love this as a roller or something smaller for shorter hikes or in my beach bag.

Best natural bug spray ever. Best smell, works powerfully, just the best.

The products are definitely pricy, and I wish the packaging wasn't plastic. 

I have tried both the bug repellant and the after-sun spray and love them both. 

The bug spray has a great creamsicle-like scent (y'know, if you dipped a creamsicle in citronella, haha) and is surprisingly effective. I like knowing that Im not smearing myself in DEET/other harmful things. The true test of the bug spray was while camping along a river, in late August in rural West Virginia. The mosquitoes at the campground were *huge*, and hanging out at camp making dinner around dusk *should* have resulted in getting eaten alive, but I think I only got one or two bites the whole week. 

The aloe after-sun spray has a super fresh and slightly herbal-minty scent and definitely feels cooling and soothing if I've been a little lax with my sunscreen. 



Ir really liked this product, came in a great container! Shipped quickly- and is super cute. It really has a strong smell, which my sister hated. But I didnt mind at all- its natural so you kind of know what is going to happen! Its not as gross smelling as other natural brands- a bit more sophisticated. But, wouldn't waste perfume if you are reaching for this later! In terms of use- I found it very effective for 2 hours. My family had the same experience, after 2 hours on the dot- the buggies came back! Good to know the parameters, but also as expected!

The spray nozzle broke off in my bag but I was able to put it back on pretty easily

Tried the bug spray which is very aesthetically pleasing packaging-wise. The bug spray really works! The scent is a bit in-your-face, but I think they did the best they could while still remaining very efficacious. 

Update: I would use this if I went camping, but I avoid using it in NYC because I don't want others to smell this. It's like anti-perfume

The Golden Hour would be perfect if only it was effective at repelling bugs. The smell is definitely strong but much nicer than typical bugspray, packaging is cute, and love that there's a send-back option for recycling. My order also came with a cute little mesh drawstring bag which is nice

Golden Hour- I've been following Kinfield since before they launched so I was super excited to try. Idk what it is about my blood but I get absolutely eaten alive by mosquitos. I wanted a bug spray to use for more casual things, like outdoor dining, instead of the hardcore stuff, so I hoped this would be perfect. Unfortunately it just doesn't work for me. I didn't want to review until I tried it for a while, and I've used the bugspray many times now but still end up with bites :(
Daily Dew- I love the sunscreen though! It really does give that nice dewy look without being too greasy, and doesn't leave a white cast.
