Abstract

Composition comprising at least one particular base, propane-1,3-diol, at least one alkaline agent and at least one fatty substance. The invention relates to a composition comprising at least one particular base, propane-1,3-diol, at least one alkaline agent and at least one fatty substance other than fatty acids.

Description

Composition comprising at least one specific base, propane-1,3-diol, at least one alkaline agent and at least one fatty substance.

The invention relates to a composition comprising at least one particular base, propane-1,3-diol, at least one alkaline agent and at least one fatty substance other than fatty acids.

The invention also relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibres, in particular the hair, using this composition.

The invention finally relates to the use of such a composition for coloring keratin fibres, and in particular the hair.

For a long time, many people have been looking to change the color of their hair, and in particular to hide their white hair.

It is known to dye keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibers such as the hair, to obtain so-called permanent colorings with dye compositions containing oxidation dye precursors, in particular oxidation bases, such as ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols or heterocyclic compounds such as pyrazoles, pyrazolinones or pyrazolo-pyridines. These oxidation bases are colorless or weakly colored compounds which, associated with oxidizing products, can give rise by a process of oxidative condensation to colored compounds.

It is also possible to vary the shades obtained with these oxidation bases by combining them with couplers or color modifiers. The variety of molecules involved in the oxidation bases and couplers makes it possible to obtain a rich palette of colors.

However, the implementation of these dye compositions can have a certain number of drawbacks.

In fact, after application to the keratin fibers, the tinctorial power obtained may not be entirely satisfactory, or even low, and lead to a restricted range of colors.

The colorings may also not be sufficiently tenacious in the face of external agents such as light, shampoos, perspiration and also be too selective, that is to say that the difference in coloring is too great along the same keratin fiber which is sensitized differently between its tip and its root.

In addition, the regulatory conditions for certain compounds are increasingly strict. It is therefore necessary to develop compositions comprising alternative compounds.

Consumers are also looking for coloring products that are more respectful of the environment, in particular based on ingredients of natural origin, and which have good qualities of use, are easy to use and lead to good dyeing properties.

Thus, there is a real need to provide a composition for coloring keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibers such as the hair, which is more environmentally friendly and does not have the drawbacks mentioned above, it that is to say which is capable of leading to a good rise, intensity and chromaticity of the color while having a low selectivity and a good tenacity and which is capable of leading to good dyeing performance, even after a storage period, while having good qualities of use.

These objects and others are achieved by the present invention which therefore relates to a composition comprising:
- at least one base chosen from: 2-β-hydroxyethyl-para-phenylenediamine and its addition salts, its solvates and/or the solvates of its salts, 2-(γ-hydroxypropyl)-para-phenylenediamine and its addition salts, its solvates and/or the solvates of its salts, 2-methoxymethyl-para-phenylenediamine and its addition salts, its solvates and/or the solvates of its salts and mixtures thereof;
- propane-1,3-diol;
- at least one alkaline agent;
- at least one fatty substance other than fatty acids.

According to a preferred embodiment, the composition according to the invention is a composition for coloring keratin fibers, in particular the hair.

The composition according to the invention makes it possible in particular to lead to chromatic colorations, powerful, intense and not very selective, that is to say colorations which are homogeneous along the fiber. It also makes it possible to achieve different shades in a very wide color palette. In addition, it allows a good build-up of the color.

This composition also makes it possible to cover depigmented keratin fibers, such as white hair, particularly well.

Furthermore, the composition according to the invention has good qualities for use, in particular a creamy texture allowing quick and easy mixing with an oxidizing composition if necessary, easy and homogeneous distribution over the whole of the hair. The composition according to the invention has good stability over time, in particular a slight change, or even no change in its viscosity during storage.

A subject of the invention is also a kit comprising, in a first compartment, a composition as defined above and, in a second compartment, an oxidizing composition comprising at least one chemical oxidizing agent.

By “ chemical oxidizing agent ” according to the invention is meant an oxidizing agent other than the oxygen in the air.

Other objects, characteristics, aspects and advantages of the invention will appear even more clearly on reading the description and the examples which follow.

In what follows, and unless otherwise indicated, the limits of a domain of values are included in this domain, in particular in the expressions “included between” and “ranging from … to …”.
