FrowniesBorn from a mother-daughter invention in 1889, Frownies makes its signature facial patches along with complementary skincare designed to smooth and care for expression-prone skin. The woman-owned company remains in its fifth generation, and its Dayton, Ohio team handcrafts small batches of products such as its Bulgarian rose hydrosol spray. Frownies’ original patches use a water-activated adhesive that hardens to hold skin relaxed and flat, a distinctive approach the brand says predates injectable wrinkle treatments.DAYTON, OH
Hero CosmeticsFounded in 2017 from a pimple emergency and a search for gentler options, Hero Cosmetics makes skincare for acne-prone and issue-prone skin, with its Mighty Patch hydrocolloid patches at the center. The company has grown from that first patch into more than 30 products designed to treat, prevent, and repair skin concerns while working with sensitive skin rather than stripping it. Hero describes this approach as “consciously clinical,” restricting more than 2,400 ingredients that could cause irritation.BUFFALO, NY
