Seventh Hour began with a simple question:
What would it take to create a skincare product I would genuinely trust on my own skin?
The product I was looking for
I’m Olga, the founder of Seventh Hour.
I wasn’t trying to start a skincare brand. I was trying to create one product for myself.
As my skin changed, so did what I wanted from skincare. I was looking for nourishment, comfort and thoughtful formulation—without the pressure to erase every visible sign of ageing.
But the more I looked, the more questions I had.
What was each ingredient actually doing? Was the complete formula designed to deliver a meaningful benefit, or did it simply contain ingredients that sounded impressive? And why was so much skincare still marketed by making women feel afraid of getting older?
Looking beyond the claims
As a lawyer, I’m trained to look closely at language, ask questions and consider what sits behind a claim.
That instinct led me deeper into skincare formulation. I wanted to understand not only which ingredients were included, but why they were chosen, how they worked together and whether the finished product would genuinely support the needs of skin after 40.
Working with an Australian cosmetic chemist, I began developing the product I had been searching for: a nourishing facial oil formulated for skin after 40.
Not selected from a catalogue. Not built around a passing trend. Thoughtfully formulated, one decision at a time.
Skincare after 40, without the fear
Seventh Hour is for women whose skin—and lives—have changed, but who don’t want to be spoken to as though ageing is something that needs to be corrected.
We believe skincare can be effective and deeply considered without promising to turn back time.
It can support your skin as it is now. It can become a quiet moment of care in a full life. And it can help you return to yourself without asking you to become someone younger.
Restoration. Not correction.
