OUR STORY

The Story of Goattastic Skin
Hi, I’m Chris Madden, the proud owner of Goattastic Skin. Our journey began with a dream—one that belonged to my mother-in-law, Linda. She always envisioned owning a goat farm, and when she finally had the opportunity, she embraced it wholeheartedly. The land was empty, but Linda saw potential. She purchased a few goats, along with other farm animals, to bring life to the property. Before we knew it, spring arrived, and with it, our first litter of baby goats—kids. That’s when an idea was born. As the goats thrived, Linda started collecting their milk and experimenting with various recipes—some culinary, some cosmetic. While not every attempt was a success, she never lost faith. Our entire family played a role in keeping the farm running—milking, feeding, cleaning, and tending to the land. It was a true labor of love Eventually, Linda decided to take her creations—handmade soaps and lotions—to local fairs. Alongside her daughter (my wife, Holly), and sometimes her sisters, she traveled near and far, sharing her all-natural products with the world. The response was incredible. People loved how soft, smooth, and nourished their skin felt after using her products. More importantly, they began to understand the remarkable benefits of goat milk: rich in lipids, proteins, antioxidants, and essential vitamins, it was a powerhouse for skin and hair care. As the business grew, I became more involved, crafting my own line of products, including beard oils and men's grooming essentials. Linda and I shared a deep passion for all-natural skincare, and as we worked together, I learned the intricacies of her recipes and the science behind each ingredient. I also recognized that these products weren’t just for women—men deserve quality skincare too. I wanted to create an inviting space where men felt comfortable using and appreciating these incredible products. With our expanding vision, I focused on branding. I spent months designing a logo and product identity that reflected the essence of what we had built—something unique, natural, and deeply personal. After years of success at fairs, we decided to bring Goattastic Skin into the digital world. Our online store allowed us to share our handmade products with an even wider audience. But then, heartbreak struck—Linda fell ill and sadly passed away. Her loss was devastating, but we knew we couldn’t let her legacy fade. She had touched so many lives with her dedication to natural skincare, and we were committed to ensuring her hard work continued to make an impact. We pressed forward, expanding upon the ideas Linda had envisioned. As our online presence flourished, we took another leap—opening our first brick-and-mortar store, Goattastic Skin©. Now, we could educate even more people, both locally and nationwide, about the incredible benefits of goat milk for skincare. Every product we create is handmade, farm-raised, and infused with the same love and dedication that Linda put into her very first batch of soap. Goattastic Skin isn’t just a business—it’s a family tradition. We are proud to carry on this ancient craft, now passing it down to the next generation. Our children are already learning and loving the art of soap-making, ensuring that this passion continues for years to come. Thank you for being a part of our story. Whether you’re new to goat milk skincare or a long-time supporter, we’re honored to share these products with you. Have a GOATTASTIC day!
