Goats to Glory: A Mother's Side Hustle Success w/ Cynthia Maddock

Ever wondered what's actually in your "natural" skincare products? That question led me to today's fascinating conversation with Cynthia Maddock, founder of Madd House Hill, who creates genuinely natural goat milk skincare from her own farm.

What began as a humble side hustle to earn pocket money for her college-bound daughter has evolved into a thriving business built on transparency and quality. Cynthia breaks down why not all "natural" or even "goat milk" products live up to their labels, revealing how many commercial brands use synthetic bases or artificial ingredients despite their clean marketing. By contrast, her products use real goat milk from her family's 15-year goat-raising experience, therapeutic-grade essential oils instead of lab-created fragrances, and premium ingredients like olive oil rather than cheaper alternatives.

The star of her product line? An ingenious all-natural insect repellent combining nine essential oils that both repels bugs and moisturizes skin—perfect for children and sensitive skin since it doesn't require washing off like chemical alternatives. We also discuss how goat milk products offer remarkable benefits for conditions like eczema and psoriasis, with many customers finding they don't even need lotion after using her soap. As Cynthia wisely notes, "What you put ON your body is just as important as what you put IN it," reminding us that our skin absorbs whatever we apply.
