Default Ultra Fine White Embossing Powder that's really white!

The white embossing powder I own is more cream than white.  I'm in the market for some ultra fine white embossing powder that really looks white.  I've looked at several on-line stores and I see various brands such as Wow, Hero Arts, Altenew, Gina K. Designs, Ranger, etc.  I know that Wow seems to be a popular embossing powder, but many stores are out of the Wow ultra fine white that I want.  I would love to hear from other crafters as to their favorite fine white embossing powders.

Currently I have Gina K Designs detail white.  It is white and works well.   Prior to this I have used Wow.  I really like Wow as I sometimes forget to use the powder first and it is not needed with Wow.  I have used Ranger before and it works fine.  Currently many of my powders are Ranger as I have had them for a long time and can easily get them.



 



I just searched for Wow powder and A Cherry on Top seems to have a lot of them.  I have never ordered from there, so I have no idea how fast they ship or anything, but they are in stock there.

I have Gina K's detail white ep and it is truly 'white'.  I have no plans to ever back to "non-detail" white or black.  ;)

Dina, that's the brand I have but I think it may have deteriorated with time as it now looks cream colored instead of white.  I have just placed two orders .... one for Gina K Design's brand and one for the Wow brand.  I feel confident that I'll be happy with both of them.

This is a really useful thread to me. I’m also in the market for white EP. One that is truly fine powder. I do not like the Ranger white EP that I have. The color is fine, but it is not fine enough.

My favorite is Brutus Monroe Alabaster White, I think it's amazing, and very bright white.

Another vote for Stampendous. White powders can yellow over time.

Also, pay attention to the embossing ink for fine powder and coloring with white.

Another vote for Brutus Monroe Alabaster White! I have WOW and Stampendous and had used them for a long time, but this stuff is amazing. I watch Kristina Warner and took a chance on this because it is the only white she uses, and when she started using it, she was quite excited about it. It just took me a long time to get with the program, so to speak. It is a really white white.

I have the Stampendous Detail Opaque White powder and that comes out white.
I will say that the powder looks off white but turns white when melted.

I started using Wow! on a suggestion of a friend, and wow was my reaction as it was so much whiter than what I was using. However, it now looks more off white, especially if I'm using my heavy white cardstock from Michael's. I hate it when the white embossed image looks "dirty" compared to the cardstock it's on or near. I'm going to order some of the suggestions here.
