Great all use repellent

I've used this both for ticks while hiking, and for mosquitos at outdoor events. I'm so impressed by how effective it is, and I love that it's clean and non-toxic. No ticks and no bug bites. It smells nice too!

Works great to repel ticks & mosquitoes, feels wet

This product works great to repel ticks and mosquitoes. And it's great to have a product without harsh chemicals. The only downside is that it feels very wet when you spray it on the skin and the wetness doesn't evaporate, so it feels a bit sticky, especially while hiking -- I guess that's the moisturizing oils.

Works as well as DEET!

This repellent is awesome! I replaced my DEET spray with this one and used it on a dive trip on a super buggy island. Not only did it work, but it smelled good too. Win Win! Highly recommend.

Finally a Natural Repellent Proven to Work

Finally the first EPA approved all natural mosquito and tick repellent better than DEET. and it smells and feels good on my skin. The problem with other repellents sold as natural, you really don't know if they work. Now we have a proven alternative to DEET for everyone.

Defends against biting insects

It is great to have a clean alternative to DEET that keeps the biting insects away, doesn't melt the things you touch, smells good, and is easy to apply. Looking forward to having a travel-size option.

BEST insect repellant

I've been burned by "clean" insect repellants in the past, but this is the real deal. Needed something the whole family could wear in Michigan for long summer nights, and worked like a charm.

Worked well for my family

This works really well for my family on a short camping trip. My son is usually a mosquito magnet, and we were camping near a creek, swarmed with bugs when we got there. But my son walked away with zero mosquito bites. It was just a one-night camp, but we were happy with the results.

Bug spray that actually feels good to use.

Mimikai goes on light, it's moisturising, and smells natural instead of chemical. It kept mosquitoes and ticks off me during long hikes, and I only reapplied once while sweating. The spray is easy to pack, and I feel safe using it on my kids. Clean, effective, and worth it.

The only big repellant you need!

This is the first bug repellant I have EVER used that is not full of poison and actually keeps mosquitoes away. Deet will melt the ziploc bag you store it in (try it) and eucalyptus works a little bit for a few minutes. No mosquitoes + no chemicals = what took you so long!
