Buying guide
How to choose Steambase products
Steambase is best known for scalp and hair care, and that's where most of this collection sits. We list 19+ products under the brand, from tea tree and turmeric scalp scalers to an anti-hair-loss ampoule, plus a few face and body items like a soothing sunscreen and a pore serum. This guide walks through the lines actually on this page so you can find the right one.
What Steambase is
Steambase is a Korean personal-care brand. Unlike a pure skincare label, its catalog centers on the scalp: scalers that clean and refresh, tonics that soothe, and an ampoule aimed at thinning hair. Around that core it carries a smaller set of face and body products. If you came looking for scalp care in particular, this is the part of the brand to focus on.
Scalp water scalers
The Thermeric Scalp Water Scaler and the Tea Tree Scalpel Water Scaler (both 250ml, with a 50ml travel size of the tea tree) are the brand's signature products. A scaler is a pre-shampoo scalp cleanser that loosens buildup, oil, and product residue at the roots before you wash. Tea tree brings a cooling, clarifying feel, while the turmeric version targets a stressed or congested scalp. Use one a couple of times a week ahead of your normal shampoo.
The anti-hair-loss ampoule
The Turmeric Anti Hair Loss Ampoule comes in a small 15ml format and is applied directly to the scalp as a leave-on treatment. Products in this category aim to support the scalp environment around the follicles rather than promising regrowth. It's a daily-use step you work into the scalp after washing, and the small size reflects that a little goes a long way.
Healing tonics
The Tea Tree Scalpel Healing Tonic and Cooling Tea Tree Healing Tonic (both 100ml) are lighter scalp leave-ons. Where a scaler is a wash-off prep step, a tonic stays on to calm and refresh the scalp between washes. The cooling version adds a fresher finish, which suits oilier scalps or warm weather. These pair naturally with the scalers in a fuller scalp routine.
Face products: sunscreen and pore serum
For the face, the grid carries the Tremella Soothing Sunscreen (50ml) and the Pore Tightening Sickle Serum (30ml). Tremella, a mushroom extract, is used in Korean skincare as a gentle hydrator, so the sunscreen aims to protect without a tight, drying finish. The pore serum is a targeted treatment for the look of enlarged pores. These two cover sun protection and a focused concern rather than a full face routine.
Body and other items
Beyond hair and face, the collection includes the Oregano Gentle Feminin Gel Wash (220ml), a mild intimate cleanser, and the Daily Eye Mask in a night air scent, a single-use mask for the eye area. These are occasional-use extras rather than core lines, but they round out what Steambase offers if you want to add them to an order.
Building a scalp routine
A simple Steambase scalp routine runs in three moves. Twice a week, work a scaler into a dry or damp scalp before shampooing to clear buildup. After washing, apply a healing tonic to soothe. If thinning is a concern, finish with the anti-hair-loss ampoule daily. You don't need all of them at once; start with a scaler and add the tonic or ampoule depending on what your scalp needs.
Korean sourcing and what to expect
These are Korean-made products, and the scalp range relies on familiar botanicals like tea tree and turmeric rather than harsh actives. We source the catalog directly, so the bottles you receive match the versions sold in Korea. If you're new to scalp care, the Tea Tree Scalpel Water Scaler is the easiest entry point, and you can add a tonic or the ampoule from there.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What kind of products does Steambase make?
Steambase is a Korean personal-care brand focused mainly on scalp and hair care: tea tree and turmeric scalp scalers, healing tonics, and an anti-hair-loss ampoule. It also carries a few face and body items, including a Tremella soothing sunscreen and a pore-tightening serum. We list 19+ products under the brand.
What is a scalp water scaler and how do I use it?
A scaler is a pre-shampoo scalp cleanser that loosens oil, buildup, and product residue at the roots. Work the Tea Tree or Thermeric Scaler into a dry or damp scalp a couple of times a week, then shampoo as usual. It preps the scalp rather than replacing your shampoo.
What's the difference between the tea tree and turmeric scalp products?
Tea tree gives a cooling, clarifying feel and suits an oily or itchy scalp, used in the Tea Tree Scalpel Scaler and Healing Tonics. Turmeric, in the Thermeric Scaler and the Anti Hair Loss Ampoule, targets a stressed or congested scalp. Many people use a tea tree product for daily freshness and the turmeric ampoule as a focused treatment.
Does the Anti Hair Loss Ampoule regrow hair?
Products in this category aim to support the scalp environment around the follicles rather than promising regrowth. The 15ml Turmeric Anti Hair Loss Ampoule is a daily leave-on you work into the scalp after washing. Treat it as scalp support, and keep expectations realistic about what a cosmetic ampoule can do.
How do I put a Steambase scalp routine together?
Twice a week, use a scaler on the scalp before shampooing to clear buildup. After washing, apply a healing tonic to soothe. If thinning is a concern, finish daily with the anti-hair-loss ampoule. Start with a scaler and add the tonic or ampoule based on what your scalp needs.
