Goat's Milk for Dilution?

[Wintershaddow]

Hi everyone. I've been doing research on making LS and I have a question. Can another form of liquid (such as goat's milk) be substituted in place of water for the dilution stage?

Actually it can't be simply because of the preserving issue. When you are making a lotion with goat milk your maximum amount to be used is 12% since anything more the preservative can't hold. This would hold true in liquid soap as well. I have heard of people using it as the liquid for the lye mix but I haven't tried it myself so have no opinion on it one way or the other...

That makes sense - thanks Lindy!
