    Is this formula for hand washing dishes in a sink or is it meant to be used in a dishwashing machine (dishwasher)?
    In any case it is not suitable for either application.

    Looks like it has pH 14. 

    Before thickening it use it one or two time and see if your hands can tolerate it. 

    Or put it in a metal dish and see what happens. In my experience even metals dont tolerate pH 14.

    This much PH will  remove all germs n dust particles along with skin also.

    I think Novethix L-10 polymer made by Lubrizol can help you achieve the desired thickness in your product. Although i don’t know much about balancing the pH like others have spoken about. I do know pH 14 is high, for any soap.
