About Mimikai
Mimikai started with a simple observation: wild tomato plants growing in the heat and humidity of North Carolina were untouched by bugs. Scientists discovered these plants naturally produce 2-undecanone—a compound that repels mosquitoes and ticks.
Built on this discovery, Mimikai combines plant-derived science with rigorous testing to create an insect repellent that’s proven effective—without relying on traditional DEET formulas. After years of research and EPA registration, the result is a formula designed to work hard in real outdoor conditions while still feeling good on skin.
