Homemade Liquid Hand Soap

I'm just finishing up this recipe, so I'm not too sure how the final product will turn out. I'll definitely update when it's complete. I just took a few tips from other sites, and this is what I came up with.

1 cup of a grated bar of soap (I used Dr Bronners Almond soap)
1 TBSP glycerin
10 cups of water

I added all the ingredients together in a pot. Heated it up over med-high heat, until all the soap with disintegrated. Now it's supposed to sit and thicken for 10-12 hours.

I'll let you know!

***UPDATE: The soap thickened. It's pretty much the consistency of snot! Gross, but I'm grateful it isn't watery! I wasn't very prepared in where I was going to store all the extra soap, so I found two empty wine bottles under my sink, so that's what I used! :) It will definitally be easy to fill up my bottles this way! Oh, it doesn't lather, which I've learned isn't a bad thing! We are trained to think we can't be clean without a lather...not true!
