Goat milk is just a liquid additive and cannot affect the softness of a recipe as others said.
The only reason I can think of that will make a softer bar is only if you add the milk without replacing the water but instead add it to the total liquids in the recipe making a full liquid recipe soap (eg. 28% lye concentration).
The more moisture the recipe will have, the more softer the bar will be, the more curing time it will need for its evaporation.
I don't quite understand. Are you saying that if I totally replace the amount of water called for with GM that it makes a softer bar?
I believe what I had read before, was that GM made a "spongier" bar. Is that the same as a "softer" bar?
