The invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising one or more ether carboxylic adds and one or more non-ionic surfactants. The present invention also relates to the method for the preparation of the cosmetic composition, as well as to the use of the cosmetic composition for the cleansing of skin and/or hair.

A therapeutic oil composition that includes a first oil phase, a second oil phase, a third oil phase, and a fourth oil phase. The first oil phase includes a coconut oil. The second oil phase includes a seed oil. The third oil phase includes a berry seed oil. The fourth oil phase includes a petroleum distillate. The coconut oil includes methyl salicylate. The coconut oil includes a saturated fatty acid in an amount of at least 85% by weight. The saturated fatty acid includes lauric acid in an amount of about 50% by weight. The seed oil includes linoleic acid in an amount of at least 60% by weight. The berry seed oil includes oleic acid in an amount of at least 1-11.7% by weight, linoleic acid in an amount of at least 52-66% by weight, and alpha-linolenic acid in an amount of at least 29-33% by weight.

A compound that includes a menthol glycinate. The menthol glycinate includes a menthol connected to a glycine or glycine derivative, via an ester linkage. The groups on the N atom are referred to as R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently selected from the group consisting of: H, alkyl and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the N atom to which they are attached form a 4-8-member ring. R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each contain at most 20 carbon atoms.
