    Do the salt curve up to 2% and check what’s the maximum viscosity you can get. If not enough, you may use proper thickener like gums, cellulose derivatives, polymers etc,

    Seems like a typical dish wash recipe, everything  depends on the dosage of each ingredient and what’s the AM you are targetting among other things like final pH, viscosity, etc.

    That’s usually a neutralization issue. What’s the pH?.

    Nope, it is the cellulose issue. Maybe cheap formulation being thickened with cellulose. Sorry won’t work.
