STEAMBASE Tea Tree Scalp Treatment, 8.42 fl oz — Purifying Exfoliating Rinse with Salicylic Acid

STEAMBASE Tea Tree Scalp Treatment is a water-based exfoliating scalp scaler that purifies oily, flaky, and irritated scalps using 23% tea tree extract, natural BHA, and salicylic acid.

This lightweight rinse formula targets buildup and excess sebum without heavy oils or silicones, making it suitable for sensitive scalps and everyday routines. Developed with a cone-tip applicator to reach the scalp between hair roots, the treatment loosens trapped debris, reduces odor, and helps restore a fresher base for healthier-looking hair. It follows clean-beauty principles: vegan, cruelty-free, and free from alcohol, parabens, artificial fragrances, and silicones.

How does this treatment remove oil and buildup?

The formula combines natural BHA from black willow bark with salicylic acid to penetrate and dissolve sebum and accumulated residue. Tea tree extract adds antiseptic and purifying properties to help clarify clogged follicles and refresh the scalp surface. Together these ingredients work in tandem to loosen buildup so it can be rinsed away without harsh scrubbing.

• 23% tea tree extract for clarifying and odor reduction
• Natural BHA (black willow bark) targets clogged pores and sebum
• Salicylic acid helps exfoliate dead skin and loosen flakes
• Water-based rinse removes dissolved debris without residue

When and how should I use it in my haircare routine?

Use before shampooing or as an alternative to a clarifying wash when your scalp feels oily, itchy, or congested. Apply directly to dry or damp scalp using the cone-tip nozzle, massage gently to distribute, let sit briefly, then rinse thoroughly and follow with shampoo and conditioner if desired. Frequency depends on scalp condition—weekly for maintenance or more often during heavy product buildup.

• Apply to scalp pre-shampoo or instead of a clarifying shampoo
• Use the cone-tip applicator to target roots and problem areas
• Massage to emulsify and rinse clean; follow with usual cleansing
• Adjust frequency from weekly to several times per week as needed

Is this safe for sensitive or scalp-issue prone skin?

Formulated without alcohol, silicones, parabens, and artificial fragrances, the treatment was created to be gentle enough for sensitive scalps while still delivering exfoliation. Because it contains salicylic acid and concentrated tea tree extract, patch testing is recommended for those with reactive skin. When used as directed, many users find it soothes itchiness and lessens visible flakes without aggressive irritation.

• Free from common irritants like alcohol and synthetic fragrance
• Vegan and cruelty-free, aligned with clean-beauty standards
• Contains actives—patch test if you have reactive skin
• Suitable for all hair types, including fine, thick, and color-treated

What results can I expect and when will I see them?

Many people notice an immediate reduction in surface oiliness and a fresher scalp sensation after the first rinse. Visible decrease in flakes and lingering odor commonly appears within a few applications as buildup is cleared. For longer-term scalp balance and fewer recurrences of congestion, incorporate the treatment into a weekly or biweekly routine paired with gentle cleansing and hydration.

• Quick: immediate removal of surface residue and oil
• Short-term: fewer visible flakes after several uses
• Long-term: helps reduce recurrent buildup with consistent use
• Best paired with supportive STEAMBASE hair products for results
