Aer CosmeticsFounded by Paige DeAngelo with her grandfather in 2021, Aer Cosmetics makes a refillable mascara system built around dissolving mascara tablets and a reusable container. Its Infinity Mascara grew from DeAngelo’s concern about the waste of single-use makeup, and each kit is still made by hand, tablet by tablet. The company pairs that low-waste design with a tubing formula that is vegan, cruelty-free and made in the USA.PHILADELPHIA, PA
