Our Debut Journey 01: Ssal is Officially Live
Details
Designed to rest naturally in the hand, it follows an organic form that requires no special grip. The moment your fingers wrap around it, steady pressure comes effortlessly — and the touch of natural material against skin becomes part of the massage itself.
Crafted from ebony wood, it is safe for direct skin contact and built to last. Each piece is carved by hand, carrying a grain pattern that no other will ever share.
Why Ebony Wood
One of the hardest woods in the world
Comparable in density to stone, ebony delivers firm, consistent pressure with every stroke — and holds its shape for years of use.
Warmth that meets your skin
Unlike jade or rose quartz, ebony never feels cold. Its natural warmth allows the skin to relax into the massage, making each session feel effortless and deeply comfortable.
A surface as smooth as glass
Ebony's fine, uniform grain creates a naturally high-luster finish. No coating needed — it glides across the skin with ease, and pairs beautifully with facial oils.
Built to last a lifetime
Dense by nature, ebony resists moisture, wear, and decay. With proper care, it retains its texture and finish for decades.
Rare by nature
Ebony takes decades — sometimes centuries — to mature. Its deep, dark tone and naturally etched grain mean no two pieces are ever quite the same.
How To Use
Massage the areas of tension using POINT, CURVE, and RELAX.
FAQ
How much pressure should I apply?
Light, gliding strokes are all you need. Too much pressure can irritate the skin — start as gently as possible and gradually increase as you get more comfortable.
Can it be used on areas other than the face?
Yes. It can be used anywhere that needs a little relief — the neck, shoulders, scalp, and beyond.
Does it help with puffiness?
Yes. Gua sha massage supports lymphatic drainage, which helps reduce swelling and puffiness. Using it in the morning is especially effective for de-puffing the face after sleep.
How do I clean it?
After each use, wipe it down with a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water to remove any oil residue. Minimize soap use, and make sure it dries completely before storing.
Can it be soaked in water?
Please avoid soaking it in water. While ebony wood is naturally dense and water-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause damage over time.
Can the wood crack or warp?
Ebony is an exceptionally hard and stable wood — with proper care, warping is rarely a concern. For long-term maintenance, occasionally wiping it with a natural oil will help preserve the grain.
Is it safe for direct skin contact?
Yes, completely. The Steeper - Gua Sha is finished with ebony wood's natural surface, free from any chemical coating, making it safe for direct use on skin.
What should I use it with?
Use facial oils or serums.
