A reconstitutable surfactant-based powder has good solubility in water and forms a stable gel when dispersed in water. The reconstitutable surfactant-based powder consists of a polymer/gum system and a dry powder extract.

In one aspect is disclosed a cleansing composition comprising: (i) a surfactant; (ii) an oligodynamic metal or ions thereof; (iii) a chelating agent; and, a polymer having a group comprising a site having one or more lone pair of electrons wherein, said surfactant is soap. The polymer having a group comprising a site having one or more lone pair of electrons enhances the antimicrobial efficacy of the oligodynamic metal.
