I realize that I definitely do NOT have sensitive skin as I barely notice the presence of slight granular exfoliation while people with sensitive skin start screaming otherwise. I want to make a soap for someone with excessively oily skin that is also sensitive and acne prone. Is such a person likely to feel sensitizing abrasion from bentonite clay, perhaps at 1% of fats? If this is unacceptable, what might be more acceptable, effective percentage?

PS. I also have kaolin clay but am leaning towards bentonite because it is considerably more absorbent.
