Light Bentonite Clay?

[Dean]

Where can I buy light colored bentonite clay that won’t discolor shaving cream?

I have the Bentonite Clay from NG. I don't use it in shave soap though. It's really light but like most clays darkens when mixed into soap.

Why not use white kaolin? Its not as slick as bentonite but its not far off and its easier to work with.
A good shave recipe doesn't actually need clay, I never use it.

Look for Aztec Clay locally. It's about as light as it comes. Instead of a tablespoon PPO, try a teaspoon to keep the bar lighter. Or add it to 1/6th of the batch and do a quick swirl before you pour. Otherwise, Obsidian's suggestion of White Kaolin (China) Clay is a good option. I use it instead of TD to whiten bars or neutralize the base for colorants. It's the mildest of all the clays and plays nice with almost everyone's skin...

Thanks all. I went with Shunt's suggestion and bought some benz from NG. Found other goodies there too. Whoopsie.
