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.

Key ingredients

Active ingredients:

oil of lemon eucalyptus: 11%

methyl nonyl ketone, 2-undecanone (a naturally occuring compound found in wild tomato plants, bananas, cloves, ginger and guava): 7.75%

What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

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.

This is a no.

"Very greasy! If you spray on your head to keep bugs off your scalp, your hair will look greasy. Any particles that land on furniture/etc, will be greasy & this WILL stain shirts with oil. Also, does not repel mosquitoes well for my family, we still had a lot of bites even though we doused ourselves in the spray. While sitting on my deck, a tick was crawling towards me, even while I was totally covered in the spray. Wouldn't repurchase."

Ashlin B. (1/5)

Odorous and ineffective

"I disliked the smell of this spray, which, for me, sits between blue cheese, crayon wax, and plastic. In a zone with both culex and aedes mosquitos, this spray didn't really have a repellent effect."

Elaine (2/5)

Good buy

"Helpful to prevent bites!"

theresa s. (5/5)

Camping/outdoor essential

"This is the perfect repellent for camping and hiking. I'm not worried about it smelling bad or harming me or anyone or thing around me!"

Margaret G. (5/5)

Bug Protection That Actually Feels Good

"This is the first bug spray I’ve used that feels clean, light, and effective — without the harsh smell or sticky residue. It keeps mosquitoes and ticks away naturally, and I love that it’s made with safe, non-toxic ingredients I feel good using on myself and my family. A summer essential for outdoor time."

Marlo T. (5/5)

Great product, poor packaging performance

"This bug spray works really well. It's a little oily and certainly smells strong, which I would expect. The big problem - huge, really - was that the top unscrewed while it was in my bag, although luckily the cap was still on. It was a HUGE mess to clean up. I would recommend the larger size, that spray mechanism is much more secure."

Liz M. (4/5)

It works!

"I have tried many natural repellent sprays, including Kinfield's Golden Hour, but was always turned off by the citronella smell. Upon application, this one also has a strong smell (to me, anyway) and is a bit greasy, but within 10 min I didn't notice either. Most importantly, it works. . . I've used it for 5 days straight in Hawaii and only got 1 mosquito bite, which for me, is amazing."

Lisa P. (4/5)

It really works!!!

"I went camping and used this spray i didnt get one bite. Loved it!!!"

Cat A. (5/5)

Game changer

"I used to go on my trails hikes and at home when I am outside. The fragrance is settled, and it disappears very quickly. So far mosquito are not coming close to me."

Daniela R. (5/5)

Solid

"Haven’t fully tested but seems good so far. Like that it doesn’t have a bad smell but need to see how effective it is."
