Hi, I developed this really nice liquid handsoap recipe where I dissolve KOH in glycerine, saponify olive oil (using excess lye), mix with water, then neutralize the remainder of lye with free coconut fatty acids. It makes this wonderful, reproducible, amber colored, thick, clear, liquid soap.

Question: Should it be any health concern of mine that the glycerine content is high? Once the product is finished, the glycerine content is 25% (75% of oils).

Any feedback would be appreciated before I start distributing this product to friends.

Sounds sooo good. My liquid soaps tend to be too thin, When I concentrate them more then it develops a skin on top. Please will you care to share the recipe that you are using with me?
