Tenth Hour Bakuchi & Blue Tansy Facial Serum - Tremella & CoQ10
Tenth Hour Bakuchi & Blue Tansy Facial Serum – Tremella & CoQ10
Led by cold-pressed, whole-seed Bakuchi. Zero water. The luxury anti-aging serum, hand-formulated in Marietta.
"Hands down, the best serum I've ever used. I can't believe the difference in my fine lines and overall glow."
— Margie, beta tester
I founded Indigo Bath & Body in Marietta, Georgia in 2002 and rebranded to Evolve Botanica in 2019. I weigh every ingredient myself. Tenth Hour is built around cold-pressed, whole-seed Psoralea Corylifolia Seed Oil — a retinol-alternative that carries the full phytochemical complex of the bakuchi seed, not isolated bakuchiol diluted in glycol. Supporting the Bakuchi: CoQ10, Tremella mushroom extract, Collageneer, D'Orientine S, and a botanical base of Perilla Seed Oil, Kalahari Melon, Blue Tansy, and Frankincense.
The serum comes out a deep dark teal — the color of Blue Tansy meeting Perilla Seed Oil, no added dye. The green you see through the glass isn't the bottle. It's the serum itself. The color is the formula.
🌙 What It Does
Tenth Hour is built for evening use, when skin is in repair mode. The Bakuchi works as a retinol-alternative — visible smoothing without the irritation curve. CoQ10 provides antioxidant support. The complement of Tremella, Collageneer, D'Orientine S, and the botanical base of Perilla, Kalahari Melon, and Blue Tansy nourish and support evening skin repair.
👃 Scent
Light aromatic, driven by Frankincense Carterii (the higher-grade species, not the cheaper serrata) with a soft herbaceous note from Blue Tansy. No added fragrance.
🧖♀️ How to Use
Cleanse. Apply 3–5 drops to clean, dry skin in the evening. Press into face, neck, and décolletage — don't rub. Nothing goes on top. Tenth Hour is the whole step.
Your first week: 3 drops every other night, while your skin gets used to the Bakuchi. If you notice tingling or redness, drop to 2 drops or skip a night. After 7 days with no reaction, move to nightly.
Use it on its own. Always wear SPF the next day — Bakuchi increases sun sensitivity.
One bottle delivers approximately 1,200 drops — about 150 days of use at typical application. Five months. Roughly a dollar a day for a hand-formulated luxury serum.
