Mimikai, the science-led, clean brand reinventing insect protection, is redefining a category that has long required consumers to choose between effectiveness and personal health and safety. 

Mimikai’s newest bug repellent is powered by Undecanone, a plant-derived compound discovered in wild tomato plants and developed through advanced biomimicry. 

This new bug repellent spray uses Bag-On-Valve (BOV) packaging for the mist. It comes in a bright blue bottle and in two different spray options. 

Mimikai’s patented innovation delivers scientifically proven protection against mosquitoes and ticks without relying on legacy chemical actives, an option which has never been offered in the category. 

Undecanone is a breakthrough innovation, the first new active ingredient approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in over 25 years, following DEET and Picaridin. 

Michelle Arnau, Co-Founder and CEO of Mimikai, commented,

“We are focused on continuing to raise the bar for this category and making better solutions more accessible. There is a clear shift happening, and we see Mimikai playing a leading role in what comes next.”

Built on patented technology and an academic partnership with North Carolina State University, Mimikai’s formulation is rooted in biomimicry, applying nature’s own defense mechanisms to solve modern challenges. 

With a commitment to ongoing research and development, Mimikai continues to invest in expanding its innovation pipeline, including new formats designed to meet evolving consumer needs.
