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.

Three tins of skincare balms with intricate floral and geometric patterns on their labels, placed on a decorative metallic surface. The tins are labeled 'Personphone's Ball Face,' 'Personphone's Bearback,' and another with similar branding.

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?

Our Yarrow hydrosol has become an essential for a small (but mighty) group of people.

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, our 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 (it must). Broad spectrum preservatives do not see the difference between dangerous bacteria and fibroblasts – the collagen making cells in your epidermis.

Waterless balms are self-preserved and gentle on the skin.
