Mimikai is a Portland, Oregon-based wellness and outdoor brand founded in 2023 by Stephanie Watson and Michelle Arnau, a former Method executive. Born from a fascination with biomimicry, the brand disrupted the insect repellent market by introducing the first new EPA-approved active ingredient in 25 years. Mimikai utilizes undecanone, a naturally occurring compound found in wild tomatoes, to create a highly effective, plant-derived shield against mosquitoes and ticks.
