Effective but very oily
"It definitely works, but I don’t enjoy the oily layer it leaves on my skin. I also found it to have a strong bug spray smell, but I didn’t read any reviews that mentioned this before I purchased. Would not buy again."

Why we stand behind it
Mimikai was born from bio-mimicry—looking to nature for smarter solutions. Inspired by plants’ natural defenses, it’s the first truly effective, skin-friendly repellent that’s toxin-free, smells great, and leaves no sticky residue. It has also passed the rigorous Environmental Protection Agency's testing; proving to be as effective as DEET at repelling mosquitos for up to 8 hours and ticks for up to 4 hours.

Usage
Spray onto all exposed skin and clothing. Don’t skip any spots, those little buggers are sneaky!
Avoid spraying directly on your face (nobody wants bug spray in their eyes). Instead, dispense some onto your palms and gently apply to your face and neck.
Don’t use on cuts, wounds, irritated, or sunburned skin.
Reapply every 4 hours (for ticks) and every 8 hours (for mosquitos).
Pro-tip
For the best protection, rub it in with your hands to make sure everything is evenly coated.

Details
Mimikai Mosquito & Tick Repellent uses Bag-on-Valve (BOV) technology for its 5.5 oz continuous mist format to deliver a propellant-free, eco-friendly application.
The plant-based bug repellent formula is sealed inside a multi-layer inner pouch, while eco-friendly compressed air fills the space between the bag and the recyclable aluminum can.
No Chemical Propellants: Pressing the actuator uses outside air pressure to squeeze the inner bag, pushing the repellent out without mixing gas into the liquid formula.
360-Degree Spraying: The mechanical design allows the bottle to spray smoothly and consistently at any angle, including completely upside down.
Maximum Evacuation: The external pressure collapses the internal bag entirely, allowing near 100% product emptying so no repellent goes to waste.

It started with a tomato. Very particular wild tomatoes growing in North Carolina’s thick, buggy summer heat. Scientists discovered it produced Undecanone - a natural compound that repels mosquitoes and ticks. Now, that breakthrough powers Mimikai: a clean, effective repellent that protects without harsh chemicals or sticky residue. Backed by science, EPA-registered, and safe for the whole family, it’s bug protection that actually works, moisturizes the skin and feels great.
