Timely and clever, Brooklyn design firm Pkoh NYC's new silicone travel bottle solves the problem of containers that are tough to use and leak-prone, while keeping the design to a size that meets the new security regulations for carry-on liquids. Made from pliable translucent silicone, the bulb shape is easy to squeeze and seals securely with an O-ring. A wide mouth makes for easy cleaning and filling of the two-ounce bottle and the inverted design takes advantage of gravity, eliminating struggles to dispense product. One standout among the many details proving designer Paul Koh has keen sense of functional design is the rotating indicator ring that elegantly labels the bottles. Pick up a two-pack that includes one blue and one clear bottle (both are transluscent) for $20 from Pkoh NYC.

It soaks up the shine and leaves my hair smelling great...
