Speaking in general, liquid soap is generally thinner than what most people want as a "bath gel". For those wanting a thicker gel texture, they will most likely have to add a separate thickener -- two names are HEC and HPMC. Faith has some good tutorials on these and other thickeners: http://alaiynab.blogspot.com/search/label/tutorial
If you want a cleanser made with synthetic detergents, you may not find as many resources here, but I know there are a few people who make this type of product. Also, you can visit Susan at Swiftcraftymonkey for good advice and recipes. See http://swiftcraftymonkey.blogspot.ca/
