Duke Cannon Supply Co. Puck Soap
Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.

Stripping cleansers are out, and Onekind's Radical Repair Nourishing Cream Cleanser leans into a more balanced approach.

Powered by nourishing ingredients and gentle exfoliating enzymes, it leaves skin feeling clean but not tight, with a hydrated, refreshed finish. Designed to slot easily into a daily routine, it's a low-effort upgrade that prioritizes barrier health over harsh results, delivering a cleanse that works with your skin instead of against it.
