(about the project)

Steambase is centered on thermal mineral water, gentle actives, and hydration-driven routines — but positioning this identity for the U.S. market required clarity, structure, and a focused brand narrative.

Nexora led the brand’s U.S. entry by rewriting the product story into a clean, hydration-first message, selecting hero SKUs with the strongest buyer potential, and restructuring the assortment into a retail-ready hierarchy aligned with U.S. category standards.

Our strategy emphasized Steambase’s unique water technology, visible moisture performance, and clean formulation story — distilled into concise messaging that retailers can quickly understand and consumers can instantly recognize.

This project demonstrates how a mineral-water skincare brand can transition into the U.S. retail landscape through clear storytelling, channel-specific SKU focus, and simplified entry positioning designed to resonate with both buyers and consumers.
