Persephone’s Ball
skincare for mortals
Preservative-free. Restorative. Minimal ingredient.
Made to give human skin a break from the noise of unhelpful chemical compounds and unnecessary additives. Created by a chef and grower with reactive skin, Persephone’s Ball approaches skincare as a form of nourishment.
botanical Distillates
Hydrosols for Skin and Atmosphere
We distill botanicals with water to create a vapor that contains the lightest of the plant’s helpful compounds and cleansing terpenes.
The vapor then condenses and returns to a liquid state.
But what do you do with this liquid?
Some distillates, like Ponderosa Pine, are for linens and atmosphere. Our Yarrow hydrosol has become an essential for some of us and why Persephone’s Ball will always exist.
Boxes of delight

Ships on the last Tuesday of every month.
Easy to absorb balms
Waterless and restorative, our balms are limited to plant based ingredients that have science (that we didn’t pay for) behind them.
Why waterless? Turns out, human skin is water impermeable. It’s more like a stack of waxed canvas tarps than it is a sponge.
Also, skincare with water contains a broad spectrum preservative. Broad spectrum preservatives do not see the diffrence between dangerous bacteria and fibroblasts – the collagen making cells in your epidermis.
