Abstract
An article for cleansing body surfaces is provided which includes an effervescent cleansing composition capable of generating a foam upon contact with water and a pouch for housing the composition. The composition is a substantially dry flowable powder which includes an alkaline material, an acid, and a particulate composition, the latter pre-formed as a carrier solid of surface area greater than 10 m /g onto which is absorbed at least one liquid or semi-liquid skin benefit agent. Calcium silicate is particularly useful as a carrier solid.
