Golden Hour DEET-Free Bug Repellent

3.5 • 4 Reviews

I purchased Kinfield's Golden Hour repellent when I was looking for a deet-free option. It has a strong, citronella scent, which I don't mind, but would definitely bother you if you aren't a citronella fan!

All of the Kinfield products I have tried are effective and worth the cost. I love the strawberry flavor of the lip balm and it does a great job of protecting my lips from the sun. The golden hour bug spray is one of the first I’ve used where I don’t immediately want to shower after I have applied it. The Sunday Spray is my absolute favorite. The scent is so wonderful and it makes my skin feel great after a day outside. I keep it in the fridge for added impact.

I was looking for an alternative, natural product to repel bugs. I was so disappointed in the smell of this spray. It is sooo strong and awful, to me it was worse than the smell of the commercial sprays with deet! I ended-ul just going with scent-free major brand bug-off. It was worth a shot, but very expensive.

I use the bug repellant for a while because I am a bug magnet. It worked reasonably well ( I think) but has a greasy texture that is exacerbated by humid, muggy summers. All in all, not perfect, but definitely not bad!
