 It’s not just what we put on our hair that matters, it’s what we put into our bodies too! 

 Nutrients are the key building blocks to helping our bodies function efficiently. They not only affect general health and boost our immune system, but are also important for our physical appearance. 

GoldCrush Hair Nutrition Formula is an innovative complex vitamin that combines key nutrients to support optimal healthy hair and nail growth. Its unique blend of vitamins and minerals includes Selenium and Zinc along with complex B Vitamins such as Biotin, which feed and nourish your follicles helping to contribute towards healthy hair from the inside out.

 What sets us apart from our competitors is not what our vitamin contains but what it does not contain  – many high street and online Vitamin brands have bulking agents and fillers including Magnesium Stearate, Titanium Dioxide, Hydrogenated Oils and Colourants – these ingredients have a multitude of possible side effects including creating a suppressed immune system, blocking nutrients from entering the blood stream. So we have all the goodness and none of the nasty additions!

  2. I’m always willing to try a new hair supplement. I use sublingual biotin and my hair grows fast but is not much thicker.

  3. I need a hair supplement so badly. I’m 60 and noticed that I have places where my hair is thinning.

  4. I’m in desperate need for something like this. After having my twins two years ago my hair completely thinned out and has yet to come back. I’ve tried shampoos and biotin with no real change.

  5. My hair is thin and fine, and usually short. Now I am in phase of growing it, so it would be fantastic to try GoldCrush and boost the growth. I’m from Croatia. 🙂

  6. I would love to win this competition as I dream of having lovely long hair but for years I’ve struggled to get it to grow below shoulder length. It just doesn’t seem to happen. I would love to try GoldCrush to see if it gives me luscious long locks!

  8. I have always had lovely thick hair but have been ill and noticed how thin my hair has gone it falls out in clumps! am scared to brush it now! I was thinking about what I need to take and this sounds just right as I always thought my hair would be thick and lovely as it was when i was young! I want it healthy again!

  9. i would like to try something like this 🙂 i’m planing to grow my hair long and it can help. I’m from Poland

  10. I’ve just finished chemotherapy and have lost all my hair. I would love some help to make sure that when it grows back, it is the very best it can be. I have always had thick hair, but fear that because of chemo it may grow back totally different.

  12. My hair needs a good hair supplement, I am trying to grow mine. This is the first in a very long time, it just seems so lank and needs a lift. So hopefully this will give it the lift it needs. xx

  13. I really need to take care of my hair. Aggressive treatments and a lot of DiY on my hair left the sign. I’d like to try this. I’m living in Portugal.

  15. I was born with fine hair and the older I get the thinner it seems to become, I would love to try something that is good for it.

  16. As I have gotten older, my once very thick hair has gotten thinner. I really think I could put this to good use.

  17. Hard water has done a number on my hair. I use conditioner daily but maybe this treatment is what my hair needs to get back to its original splendor! I’m living in Belgium.

  18. I would love to try this great product, i have a lot of hair problems because i used to dye it a lot in his good days, now is thin, with no shine, ..it has a really bad condition, i am from Romania.

DIY Burn Relief Soap – A Soothing Aloe Vera and Lavender Recipe for Sunburn, Windburn, and Irritated Skin

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been caught out without sunscreen—and paid the price with lobster-red shoulders, itchy rashes, or skin so tender you could cry brushing against cotton sheets. Been there, done that (more than once if I’m honest). Whether it’s summer sunburn, winter windburn, or a splash from a hot pan, our skin sometimes needs a little extra TLC—and that’s where this DIY Burn Relief Soap comes in.

This homemade soap bar is designed to calm, hydrate, and gently cleanse burned or irritated skin. Made with a melt-and-pour soap base, soothing aloe vera, and essential oils like lavender and chamomile, it’s gentle enough for daily use—even for kids or those with sensitive skin.

Think of it as first-aid meets spa day in a soap bar.

Why This Soap Works for Burn Relief

Each ingredient in this recipe has a soothing purpose—no fillers, no synthetics, just skin-loving goodness:

  • Aloe Vera Gel
     Famous for its burn-healing powers, aloe is cooling, hydrating, and anti-inflammatory. It speeds up healing and eases discomfort on contact. 
  • Chamomile-Infused Oil
     Chamomile contains bisabolol and apigenin—natural compounds known to reduce redness, calm inflammation, and support skin regeneration. 
  • Lavender Essential Oil
     Not just for relaxation, lavender is also antimicrobial and helps soothe painful skin. It may even reduce scarring over time. 
  • Goat’s Milk or Aloe Melt and Pour Base
     A gentle, nourishing base loaded with vitamins, perfect for dry or damaged skin. The creamy lather won’t strip away your natural oils. 
  • Tea Tree Oil (Optional)
     A drop or two adds antibacterial support, especially if your burn is the result of heat rash or has broken the skin. 

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 lb goat’s milk or aloe vera melt-and-pour soap base 
  • 2 tablespoons pure aloe vera gel (no alcohol or colorants) 
  • 1 tablespoon chamomile-infused oil
     (You can DIY this by steeping dried chamomile flowers in sweet almond or olive oil for 1–2 weeks) 
  • 10 drops lavender essential oil 
  • 5 drops tea tree essential oil (optional) 
  • Silicone soap mold 
  • Rubbing alcohol (for surface bubbles, optional) 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Melt the Soap Base

Cut the melt-and-pour soap base into small cubes for even melting. Use a double boiler or microwave in short 20–30 second bursts, stirring often until smooth.

2. Add Aloe Vera and Oils

Remove from heat and stir in the aloe vera gel and chamomile-infused oil. Mix gently until fully combined.

3. Add Essential Oils

Once the soap cools slightly but is still pourable, add the lavender (and optional tea tree) essential oil. Avoid adding them while the soap is too hot, or they’ll evaporate.

4. Pour Into Molds

Carefully pour the mixture into your soap molds. Spritz the surface with rubbing alcohol to remove bubbles.

5. Let It Set

Allow the soaps to cool and harden completely—usually 3–4 hours at room temp, or pop into the fridge to speed things up.

6. Unmold and Store

Once firm, gently pop out your bars. Store in an airtight container or wrap in wax paper to keep them fresh and prevent “soap sweating.”

How to Use Your Burn Relief Soap

  • Use in the shower or bath after sun exposure or any time your skin feels tight, hot, or inflamed. 
  • Gently lather with lukewarm water—avoid hot water, which can aggravate burns. 
  • Pat skin dry with a soft towel and follow with a natural after-sun lotion or body oil for extra moisture. 

Make It Your Own – Variations & Tips

  • Add Oatmeal: For extra calming, stir in 1–2 tablespoons of finely ground oats (colloidal oatmeal works best). 
  • Extra Cooling: Add 2–3 drops of peppermint essential oil for a gentle cooling tingle—great for sunburn. 
  • Herbal Layer: Place dried calendula or chamomile petals in the bottom of your mold before pouring the soap for a botanical, handmade look. 
  • Mini Soaps: Pour into mini silicone molds to make burn relief travel soaps for beach bags, camping kits, or gifts. 

Safety Notes

  • This soap is ideal for minor burns, sunburns, and skin irritation. 
  • Don’t use on open blisters or severe burns—in that case, stick to medical treatment. 
  • Always do a patch test if you’re using a new essential oil or ingredient, especially for kids or sensitive skin. 

Perfect For…

  • After-sun showers 
  • Camping and travel first aid kits 
  • Gift baskets for gardeners, surfers, or outdoor lovers 
  • Care packages for new mums or anyone with sensitive skin 
  • Self-care stash for menopause-related heat sensitivity 

Making your own burn relief soap is such a simple but powerful way to care for your skin naturally—and it feels especially good knowing there are no sneaky synthetic additives or harsh ingredients lurking in your bar. Just healing herbs, soothing oils, and a whole lot of love.
