"Goat milk" OR "goat's milk"

[MatthewDM]

What is the proper way of say it? Goat's milk soap or goat milk soap

 

[IrishLass]

I've heard it both ways, and if you ask me, I believe both ways are perfectly 'proper', although I'm not a grammer queen by any means, or anything like that.

I guess it could be either way really.

Goat's milk implies the milk used for the soap belongs to the goat, goats implies the milk came from several goats.

Both are probably true of mass produced goat milk

Here is the link to the products on Amazon. Some of the labels say Goat Milk. If I were using this particular milk, that is how I would list it on a label. If I were using the ones labelled "Goat's Milk", that is how I would list it on a label. I think there is no "proper" way to call it.
