Description

“COMPOSITIONS FOR HAIR TREATMENT, METHODS FOR TREAT HAIR AND TO TRANSMIT TO HAIR ONE OR MORE EFFECTS TO HAIR ” FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[001] The present disclosure relates to hair treatment compositions comprising reducing agents, such as thiol-based compounds, and methods for providing cosmetic and hair care benefits using the hair treatment compositions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[002] The quality and condition of the hair are generally adversely affected by the action of external agents, such as sunlight, wind, pollution, humidity and chemicals in swimming pools, and also by mechanical or chemical treatments, such as brushing, combing, washing by shampoo, dye, discoloration, permanent curl and / or relaxation. Hair is therefore damaged by these various factors and, over time, can become dry, thick or opaque, especially in fragile areas, and more particularly at the ends, leading to split ends. Under such circumstances, hair can also become less manageable, more frizzy and less disciplined and more difficult to style or style.

[003] Hair products are used to combat these inconveniences. Conventional cleaning compositions, such as shampoos, for example, that contain surfactants, such as anionic, non-ionic and / or amphoteric surfactants, can be used to remove the various types of dirt typically present in hair. These cleaning compositions, while offering good cleaning power, can result in a less conditioned or rough feeling of the hair due, for example, to the gradual removal of natural or applied fats, lipids or proteins contained on the surface of the hair. In addition, washing your hair with water alone can also make your hair tangled, less straight and dry.

[004] Hair conditioning products or hair masks (masks) can be used on hair after they have been washed with shampoo or rinsed, in order to impart hair care properties. Traditional conditioners and masks provide conditioning, smoothing, softness and visual elegance to the hair and are generally products that are rinsed.

[005] Consumers also look for hair care regimes and products that can provide control, or even eliminate frizz, and control or reduce the volume and apparent mass of hair on the head, in addition to offering additional benefits when changing the appearance , the shape or configuration of the hair. In addition, consumers want these products to offer long-lasting or continuous benefits to their hair over a period of time. Thus, it is desirable that manufacturers of hair products formulate not only shampoos and conditioners for rinsing, but also products that do not involve immediate rinsing or that provide long-term treatments, such as those provided by products for rinsing hair.

[006] A type of product that can shape or configure the hair are the products for styling the hair, for example, gels and creams without rinsing that use ingredients such as film-forming polymers that give a desirable style or fixation while they are in the hair. However, some ingredients can be easily removed from the hair, for example, by rinsing or washing. Thus, any cosmetic hair benefits from such products are generally diminished or removed when the hair is rinsed or washed.

[007] Another type of composition that can be applied to hair to change its shape and make it more manageable is an alkaline composition that is found in relaxers or commercial hair straighteners.

These products can give your hair a more lasting shape or style. Alkaline hair relaxation / straightening involves hydrolysis of hair keratin with various alkaline agents, such as inorganic hydroxides, for example sodium hydroxide or organic hydroxides, such as guanidine hydroxide or organic amines. Products to relax / straighten hair that use sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide are also called bleach products and products that use other alkaline agents, such as lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, organic hydroxides and other non-alkaline compounds. hydroxides, for example, organic amines, generally fall into the bleach-free product category. Still, it is desirable to find alternatives to the bleach-based and bleach-free alkaline products and processes described above that can damage hair, weakening and / or causing dryness of hair fibers.

[008] Thus, it is highly desirable to have hair care regimens and products that, for example, relax or straighten curly or frizzy hair, including wavy hair or reduce / loosen curls, making hair more manageable, untangled, stylized or modeled more easily, and disciplined. At the same time, it is also highly desirable that these regimens and products provide long-lasting cosmetic effects.

[009] It is an object of the disclosure forms to provide a hair treatment composition with ingredients that can effectively condition the hair and, at the same time, provide a feeling of lightness, good styling / styling or straightening benefits, as well as better care properties and manageability of the hair and other cosmetic properties, such as volume control / reduction, frizz control / reduction, discipline (less loose hair) and shape regularity.

[0010] However, the discovery of new compositions and processes for the treatment of hair that have improved efficacy, but that provide minor or minimal damage to the hair, can represent a challenge for manufacturers and formulators, because the incorporation of new ingredients in compositions can negatively affect its performance, cosmetic attributes, texture and stability of the formulation. In addition, acidity / alkalinity and / or pH is an important consideration for these products.

New processes to treat and change the shape of the hair can also affect the performance of the compositions, the processing times and the quality of use. Thus, the manufacturers of such products continuously test the use of new raw materials and ingredients or new forms of products and seek to reformulate and create new products with the desired qualities, keeping them stable and safe to use.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] The implementations of the present disclosure will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying figures, in which: Figure 1 compares samples of treated hair with comparative formulations with samples of hair treated with compositions of the invention.

[0015] It should be understood that the various aspects are not limited to the arrangements and instrumentalities shown in the drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The present hair treatment compositions effectively condition the hair and provide manageability properties to the hair, including one or more straightening effects; frizz control; volume reduction or volume control; mild hair feeling, styling or styling effects; ripple effects; relaxing effects or reduction / loosening of curls; improvement or retention of the definition of curls; moisture resistance; cosmesticity for sensation; smooth feeling; natural feeling; smaller or reduced hard ends; and / or improving the appearance of the hair.

[0017] “At least one”, as used here, is synonymous with “one or more” and includes individual components, as well as mixes / combinations.

[0018] "Conditioning", as used here, means giving one or more hair fibers at least one property chosen from combing, hydration retention, luster, shine and softness. The conditioning state can be assessed by any means known in the art, such as, for example, measuring and comparing the ease of combing treated and untreated hair in terms of combing work (gm-in), and perception of consumer.

[0019] The term "treat" (and its grammatical variations), as used here, refers to the application of the hair treatment compositions of the present disclosure on the hair surface. The term 'treat' (and its grammatical variations), as used herein, also refers to the contact of hair with the hair treatment compositions of the present disclosure.

[0020] A "rinse" product refers to a composition, such as a hair care composition, which is rinsed and / or washed with water after or during application of the composition on the keratinous substrate and before drying and / or modeling said keratinous substrate.

At least a portion of the composition is removed from the keratinous substrate during rinsing and / or washing.

[0021] A "no rinse" product (also called leave-in) refers to a hair treatment composition, such as a hair treatment composition that is applied to a keratinous substrate, such as hair, and does not more subjected to a rinse and / or wash step for at least 1 hour or for a period of time that varies from

1 hour to 72 hours, such as 4 hours to 48 hours or 8 hours to 36 hours or 8 hours to 24 hours.

[0022] The term "stable", as used here, means that the composition does not exhibit phase separation and / or crystallization.

[0023] The term "volatile", as used here, means having a flash point below 100 ° C.

[0024] The term "non-volatile", as used here, means having a flash point above about 100 ° C.

[0025] The term "reducing agent", as used here, means an agent capable of reducing the disulfide bonds of the hair.

[0026] The term "active material", as used here, with respect to the percentage quantity of an ingredient or raw material, refers to 100% of activity of the ingredient or raw material.

[0027] The term "substituted", as used herein, means to comprise one or more substituents. Non-limiting examples of substituents include atoms, such as oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms, as well as functional groups, such as hydroxyl groups, ether groups, alkoxy groups, acyloxyalkyl groups, oxyalkylene groups, polyoxyalkylene groups, carboxylic acid groups, amine groups, acylamino groups, amide groups, halogen-containing groups, ester groups, thiol groups, sulfonate groups, thiosulfate groups, siloxane groups and polysiloxane groups. The substituent (s) can be additionally replaced.

[0028] The term "polymers", as defined herein, includes homopolymers and copolymers formed from at least two different types of monomers.

[0029] The term “INCI” is an abbreviation for International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, which is a naming system provided by the International Nomenclature Committee of the Personal Care Products Council to describe personal care ingredients.

[0030] The compositions and methods for treating hair of the present disclosure may comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the disclosure described herein, as well as any additional or optional ingredients, components or limitations described herein or useful.

[0031] Except in operational examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers that express quantities of ingredients and / or reaction conditions must be understood as modified in all cases by the term "about", meaning within + / - 5% of the indicated number.

[0032] All percentages, parts and proportions contained herein are based on the total weight of the compositions of the present disclosure, unless otherwise indicated.

[0033] As used in this document, all ranges provided must include all specific ranges within and combinations of subintervals between the ranges provided. Thus, a range of 1-5 specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, as well as subintervals such as 2-5, 3-5, 2-3, 2-4, 1 -4, etc.

[0034] The terms "one", "one" and "the one / s" are understood to encompass the plural and the singular. Thus, the term "a mixture of them" also refers to "mixtures of them". Throughout the disclosure, the term “a mixture of them” is used, following a list of elements, as shown in the following example, where the letters AF represent the elements: “one or more elements selected from A, B, C, D, E, F and a mixture of them. ” The term “a mixture of them” does not require that the mixture includes all items A, B, C, D, E and F (although all items A, B, C, D, E and F may be included). Instead, it indicates that a mixture of two or more of A, B,

C, D, E and F can be included. In other words, it is equivalent to the phrase “one or more elements selected from A, B, C, D, E, F and a mixture of two or more from A, B, C, D, E and F.”

[0035] Likewise, the term "a salt of the same" also refers to "salts of the same". Thus, when the disclosure refers to “an element selected from A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt thereof and a mixture of them”, it indicates that one or more of A, B, C, D, and F can be included, one or more of a salt of A, a salt of B, a salt of C, a salt of D, a salt of E and a salt of F can be included or a mixture of two of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt of A, a salt of B, a salt of C, a salt of D, a salt of E and a salt of F can be included.

[0036] Some of the various categories of components identified may overlap. In such cases, where the overlap may exist and the composition includes both components (or the composition includes more than two overlapping components), an overlapping compound does not represent more than one component. For example, a fatty acid can be characterized as a nonionic surfactant and a fatty compound. If a specific composition includes a nonionic surfactant and a fatty compound, a single fatty acid will serve only as a nonionic surfactant or only as a fatty compound (the single fatty acid does not serve as a nonionic surfactant and fatty compound).

[0037] The present disclosure relates to a hair treatment composition comprising: - at least one reducing agent selected from thiol-based compounds, non-thiol-based compounds and mixtures thereof; - at least one disulfide compound selected from dithioglycolic acid, derivatives thereof and mixtures thereof;

EXAMPLE B (PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT)

[00315] The formulas above were used to treat hair samples as follows:

1. The hair samples were washed with a pH neutral shampoo, washed with water and the hair was dried with a hair dryer at a temperature ranging from room temperature to about 100 ° C or up to about 160 ° C, while a soothing action was applied to the hair;

2. Each formulation was spread over the length of the hair samples and left to remain on the hair for about 30 minutes before being rinsed;

3. After rinsing the hair formulations, the hair was dried with a hair dryer at a temperature of up to about 100 ° C or up to about 160 ° C, while a soothing action was applied to the hair;

4. A flat iron at a temperature of about 230 ° C was passed over each hair sample 10 times;

5. The hair samples were then treated with a neutralizing cream comprising hydrogen peroxide, which was allowed to remain on the hair for about 10 minutes before being removed from the hair;

6. The hair samples were then washed with a pH neutral shampoo, washed with water and allowed to air dry.

[00316] The hair samples were evaluated sensorially and visually in relation to the attributes of straightening, volume (control or reduction of volume) and frizz (control or reduction of frizz) based on a standardized rating scale from 1 to 4, being 4 the best classification value (higher level of smoothing, less volume and less frizz). The samples were tested immediately after step (6) and again after being washed with shampoo ten more times. The results are reported below.
