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.

Mimikai
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.
