Okay, it only comes in 50cm rolls, and you have to cut it yourself to square it out because it comes in a roll, but 'Miltons Fancy Foil' is exactly what you are looking for. I folded an Ancient Dragon with a square piece of paper around 15 cm and it wasn't thick at all. Here's a link for what you want.

Unfortunately, it only comes in 3 colors, gold, silver and white. Here's how my mini guy turned out. It's pretty thin for its size, so imagine how thin it will be for yours.

NOW, what I recommend is that you make your own paper!!!!
It's not that expensive, doesn't take that long at all, and you'll get more pride out of your finished product, and it will be very thin as well.
1.) Buy a metal meter stick, an Exacto Knife, Spray adhesive, 50 cm wide THIN (Not Heavy Duty) cooking foil, and various colors of 50cm square tissue paper
2.) Pick the two colors you like the most.
3.) Pick area that is flat, dirt and crumb free, and lay down some newspaper so you don't get adhesive on anything you like.
4.) Rip off enough tin foil
5.) spray down one side of tinfoil. Carefully lay down your tissue paper so that it is perfectly flat. Take your time with this, because once you lay it down, it's never coming off.
6.) Let dry for a few minutes, then repeat with the other side
7.) Time to cut it into a perfect square. This part is the tough part. Before you cut, you need to make sure that your sides are all the same length. Then, you need to measure the two diagonals. Once every single side to the paper is perfectly the same as well as the diagonals, then you are good to cut your perfect square. Most people only measure the sides and assume the square is perfect. Measuring the diagonals will let you know if your square is lopsided or not.
Usually you have to trim it down because you can never lay down the tissue paper perfect, so my squares usually ended up being around 45-48 cm
The Paper holds itself together extremely well, is cheaper, and it's better than most of the stuff you can buy. If I'm not using Wilton's Fancy Foil, this is what I'm doing, because sometimes models need colors. Sometimes they need specific colors. Here's an example of one I made using paper I made myself.

So yeah, for the thinnest paper around that is also very strong, use Wilton's. If you are okay with slightly thicker (But as you can see, you can still shape very well) paper the benefit of colors of your choice, then making your own is where to go. You should make your own I recommend, it's a lot of fun.
If you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer.

It's foil meant to wrap cake boards but it turns out it's awesome for origami. It comes in gold, silver, and a glossy white. I got some of the gold and I love it.
I've seen this foil a lot here lately. I think /u/Name2ShortNowItsLong first discovered it; this post is the first I heard of it.
