Ritchie Deraiche, Owner & Founder of The Frosteam

Nice to meet you, I'm Ritchie 👋

About Us

It started with a bowl of ice water… and a question.

I’m Ritchie, founder of Frosteam. And yes — the origin story is as raw as it gets: me, half-awake, leaning over my kitchen sink, face plunged in a stainless steel bowl filled with ice water. Desperate for that post-cold-plunge glow everyone was talking about.

I was chasing the benefits — reduced puffiness, tighter pores, that instant wake-up call. And sure, my skin looked a little better…

But the process? A total mess. Water everywhere. Ice cubes melting too fast. Zero control. No ritual. No joy. Just a chaotic, uncomfortable routine that I knew couldn’t last.

That’s when the question hit me:

“What if this moment could feel less like a punishment… and more like a ritual?”

That question became an obsession.

And that obsession became Frosteam — the world’s first facial spa designed to combine the power of nano ionic hot steam and cold therapy, in one effortless, beautiful experience.

So I assembled My Dream Team

Creating the Frosteam

I spent the next year prototyping what would become The Frosteam. Something clean, safe, consistent.

Something that fits into a modern routine, like brushing your teeth or making your morning coffee.

I didn’t build it alone. I brought together a dream team of designers, engineers, and skincare experts to create it with intention.

We prototyped, tested, and refined every detail to make sure The Frosteam delivered not just results, but a ritual you’d actually look forward to.

It wasn’t a garage project — it was a commitment to precision, quality, and experience.

But here's the thing

This is just the beginning

After months of development, testing, and iteration, we’re now in full discussion with trusted manufacturers to bring The Frosteam to life — at scale, with the quality it deserves.

But here’s where you come in.

We’re in the prelaunch phase. For just $10, you can back the project and lock in your Frosteam at $150 when it launches. Your support helps finalize production — but even more than that, it funds the next stage: developing a more affordable model that can make smart cold therapy accessible to everyone.

This isn’t about inventing another luxury gadget. It’s about transforming skincare into something smarter, calmer, and more human.

If you believe in that vision, now’s the time to be part of it.
