Description

DEVELOPER COMPOSITION COMPRISING A TINCTURE FIELD OF DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to developer compositions including direct dyes, hair color base compositions, and ready-to-use hair color compositions. Methods of preparing the compositions and methods of coloring hair are also disclosed.

SUMMARY

There are different types of hair coloring compositions for temporary, semi-permanent or permanent hair coloring. Most hair coloring compositions for permanent hair coloring use two parts. The first part is a basic hair color composition containing oxidative dye precursors (sometimes called "oxidative dyes") and couplers, which interact with the oxidative dye precursors. The second part is a developer composition containing an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide. The two parts are mixed immediately before use to form a ready-to-use hair coloring composition which is activated for hair coloring.

The developer compositions of the present disclosure include one or more direct dyes having at least one halogenated aromatic ring, preferably at least one halogenated aryl group, more preferably at least one halogenated phenyl group. The halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine, occupying group VIIA of the periodic table. Additional direct dyes may optionally be included (or excluded) from the developer composition. The developer composition also includes one or more oxidizing agents, such as peroxides, and has a low pH, from about 1 to about 4 or 5.

The developer composition is combined with a hair coloring base composition to produce a ready-to-use hair coloring composition for application to the hair. All hair types can be treated (colored), including head hair, eyelashes, eyebrows and body hair.

The pH of the developer composition is typically low, from about 1 to about 4 or 5, for example, from about 1 to about 4, from about 1 to about 3, from about 2 to about 4, or 'about 2 to about 3.

As noted above, direct dyes include at least one halogenated aromatic ring. There are several classes of direct dyes that may include a halogenated aromatic ring, for example, triarylmethane dyes, xanthene dyes, azo dyes, etc. and their mixtures.

Oxidizing agents are compounds or elements that receive electrons from a different species in a redox reaction. An oxidant is a chemical compound that readily transfers oxygen atoms or another substance to gain an electron. Oxidizing agents include hydrogen peroxide, inorganic alkali metal peroxides, organic peroxides, inorganic perhydrate salts, bromates, etc. and their mixtures. Hydrogen peroxide is a particularly useful oxidizing agent.

The developer compositions of the present disclosure may optionally include one or more fatty alcohols, nonionic surfactants, and/or water-soluble organic solvents. In some embodiments, the fatty acids have 12 to 24 carbon atoms. Non-limiting examples include cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol, myristic or myristyl alcohol, arachidyl alcohol, lignoceryl alcohol, and mixtures thereof.

The developer compositions may optionally include one or more nonionic surfactants. Non-limiting examples of nonionic surfactants include ethylene glycol ethers of fatty alcohols, fatty amides, polyoxyalkylenated fatty amides, and mixtures thereof.

The developer compositions of the present disclosure are aqueous. However, in addition to water, the developer compositions may optionally include one or more water-soluble organic solvents. Non-limiting examples of water-soluble organic solvents include glycerin, mono-alcohols, polyols (polyhydric alcohols), glycols and mixtures thereof, e.g. glycerin, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, pentylene glycol , dipropylene glycol, hexylene glycol, ethanol, isopropanol, t-butyl alcohol and mixtures thereof.

In addition to the above, in various embodiments, the developer composition includes:

(a) one or more direct dyes comprising a halogenated aromatic ring, preferably at least one halogenated aryl group, more preferably at least one halogenated phenyl group, chosen from triarylmethane dyes, xanthene dyes, azo dyes, and mixtures thereof;

(b) one or more oxidizing agents selected from hydrogen peroxide, inorganic alkali metal peroxides, organic peroxides, inorganic perhydrate salts, bromates, and a mixture thereof;

(c) water;

(d) optionally, one or more fatty alcohols;

(e) optionally, one or more nonionic surfactants; And

(f) optionally, one or more water-soluble organic solvents selected from glycerin, monoalcohols, polyols (polyhydric alcohols), glycols, and a mixture thereof.

The developer composition is mixed with a hair color base composition to form a ready-to-use hair color composition. For example, the developer composition may be mixed with a hair color base composition in a weight ratio of about 5:1 to about 1:5, about 3:1 to about 1:3, or about 2:1 to about 1:2, or about 1:1.

The developer composition and the hair coloring base composition are contained separately before mixing. Thus, both compositions can be provided in a kit. The kits according to the present disclosure include one or more developer compositions and one or more hair color base compositions, wherein the developer compositions and the hair color base compositions are contained separately. For example, the one or more developer compositions and the one or more hair color base compositions may be included in separate containers that are packaged together.

Methods of making a ready-to-use hair coloring composition and methods of coloring hair with the compositions involve combining the developer composition with a hair coloring base composition to form a coloring composition hair ready to use. They can be combined, for example, in the reports presented above. The ready-to-use hair coloring composition is then applied to the hair for a period (for treatment), for example, for about 1 minute to about 1 hour, about 1 minute to about 45 minutes, about 1 minute to about 30 minutes, about 1 minute to about 15 minutes, about 5 minutes to about 1 hour, about 5 minutes to about 45 minutes, or about 5 minutes to about 30 minutes. After the period has elapsed, the hair coloring composition may be rinsed or washed to expose the newly colored hair.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Individuals often seek to permanently change hair color using oxidative hair coloring procedures, which typically rely on a combination of two parts, a hair color base composition and a developer composition. Basic hair color compositions often include oxidative dye precursors, couplers and direct dyes, to impart color to hair. Developer compositions include oxidizing agents, such as hydrogen peroxide. The two parts are mixed immediately before application to the hair to form a ready-to-use hair coloring composition.

Oxidative dye precursors are typically colorless or weakly colored compounds that, when combined with oxidizing agents, transform into colored species through a process of oxidative condensation. The shades obtained with oxidative dye precursors can be varied by combining them with one or more couplers. Couplers include, for example, aromatic meta-diamines, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols, and certain heterocyclic compounds, such as indole compounds.

The oxidizing agent(s) used in the permanent dye compositions can degrade the melanin of the hair, which, depending on the nature of the oxidizing agent, can lead to less pronounced lightening of the fibers. A commonly used oxidizing agent in hair lightening and coloring is hydrogen peroxide. However, other oxidizing agents are also used, often in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide.

In general, hair coloring compositions are alkaline, have a high pH of about 9 and above, and may generally require the presence of an alkalizing agent such as ammonia or an ammonia gas-generating compound and/or an compound based on amine or ammonium in sufficient quantities to obtain the desired alkalinity. Alkalizing agents help activate oxidizing agents and cause the hair shaft to swell, allowing small molecule oxidative dye precursors to penetrate the cuticle and cortex before the oxidative condensation process is complete. The larger color complexes resulting from the oxidation reaction are then trapped inside the hair fiber, permanently changing the hair color.

As we have already noted, direct dyes are usually included in basic hair coloring compositions, which have a pH of about 9 or higher. This is because direct dyes are typically stable in a high pH environment. Stability is necessary to ensure sufficient shelf life for hair coloring products (base and developer compositions) because they are not always used immediately after manufacture. If direct dyes break down chemically before use, they will not deposit the desired color on the hair, i.e. they will not work properly. Furthermore, if direct dyes pose stability problems to the compositions containing them, the latter may separate into phases, suffer from undesirable changes in color and/or odor and cause sedimentation.

It is difficult to successfully incorporate direct dyes into developing compositions without jeopardizing the integrity of the direct dyes and/or the stability of the developer composition. The low pH of developer compositions and the reactivity of oxidizing agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, tend to preclude their inclusion in developer compositions. The developer compositions have a low pH, particularly compared to base hair coloring compositions. For example, developer compositions typically have a pH of about 1 to about 5, depending on the amount of hydrogen peroxide included in the composition and the existence of other alkaline components.

The inventors of the present disclosure have surprisingly discovered that certain direct dyes can be successfully included in developer compositions having a low pH. Direct dyes maintain their integrity and do not disrupt the stability of developer compositions. For example, the inventors have discovered that direct dyes having at least one halogenated aromatic ring are surprisingly stable in developer compositions, do not disrupt the stability of the developer compositions, and provide robust color deposition on hair, which is sustainable.

Typically, hair coloring and bleaching procedures use preformulated hair color base compositions with standardized developers. This limits the coloring options to those provided by the base hair coloring composition. Incorporating direct dyes into the developer composition makes it possible to obtain many more color combinations. A particular "shading" developer composition (a developer composition according to the present disclosure containing one or more direct dyes having a halogenated aromatic ring) can be combined with a variety of different hair color base compositions and influence the final color deposited. on the hair, beyond what the base hair coloring composition would provide with a standardized developer composition (i.e., a developer composition without direct dyes). This allows for greater control and choice when targeting a particular hair color.

Nonionic surfactants are well-known compounds in themselves ( see, for example , in this regard, "Handbook of Surfactants" by MR Porter, Blackie & Son publishers (Glasgow and London), 1991, pp. 116-178) , which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

The nonionic surfactant can be, for example, chosen from alcohols, alpha-diols, alkylphenols and fatty acid esters, these compounds being ethoxylated, propoxylated or glycerolated and comprising at least one fatty chain comprising, for example, from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, the number of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide groups being able to range from 2 to 50, and the number of glycerol groups from 1 to 30. Mention may also be made of maltose derivatives. Mention may also be made, in a non-limiting manner, of copolymers of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide; condensates of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide with fatty alcohols; polyethoxylated fatty amides comprising, for example, from 2 to 30 mol of ethylene oxide; polyglycerolated fatty amides comprising, for example, from 1.5 to 5 glycerol groups, such as from 1.5 to 4; ethoxylated fatty acid esters of sorbitan comprising from 2 to 30 mol of ethylene oxide; ethoxylated oils of plant origin; sucrose fatty acid esters; polyethylene glycol fatty acid esters; mono or diesters of polyethoxylated fatty acids of glycerol C ₆ -C ₂₄ alkylpolyglycosides; N-(C ₆ -C ₂₄ )-alkylglucamine derivatives, amine oxides such as C ₁₀ -C ₁₄ alkylamine oxides or N-(C ₁₀ -C ₁₄ )-acylaminopropylmorpholine oxides; and their mixtures.

The nonionic surfactants may preferably be chosen from polyoxyalkylenated or polyglycerolated nonionic surfactants. The oxyethylene units are more particularly oxyethylene or oxypropylene units, or a combination thereof, and are preferably oxyethylene units.

Examples of oxyalkylenated nonionic surfactants which may be mentioned include: oxyalkylenated (C ₈ -C ₂₄ ) alkylphenols, saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, C ₈ -C ₃₀ oxyalkylenated alcohols, saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, C ₈ -C ₃₀ oxyalkylenated amides, esters of saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched C ₈ -C ₃₀ acids and polyethylene glycols, polyoxyalkylenated esters of saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched C ₈ -C acids ₃₀ and sorbitol, saturated or unsaturated, oxyalkylenated vegetable oils, ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide condensates, among others, alone or in mixture.

The surfactants preferably contain a number of moles of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide of between 2 and 100 and more preferably between 2 and 50.

In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the oxyalkylenated nonionic surfactants are chosen from C ₈ -C ₃₀ oxyethylenated alcohols.

Examples of ethoxylated fatty alcohols (or C ₈ -C ₃₀ alcohols) which may be mentioned include adducts of ethylene oxide with lauryl alcohol, in particular those containing 9 to 50 oxyethylene groups and more particularly those containing from 10 to 25 oxyethylene groups (Laureth-10 to Laureth-25); adducts of ethylene oxide with behenyl alcohol, in particular those containing 9 to 50 oxyethylene groups (Béhénéth-9 to Béhénéth-50); adducts of ethylene oxide with cetearyl alcohol (mixture of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol), in particular those containing 10 to 30 oxyethylene groups (Ceteareth-10 to Ceteareth-30); adducts of ethylene oxide with cetyl alcohol, in particular those containing 10 to 30 oxyethylene groups (Cététh-10 to Cététh-30); adducts of ethylene oxide with stearyl alcohol, in particular those containing 10 to 30 oxyethylene groups (Steareth-10 to Steareth-30); adducts of ethylene oxide with isostearyl alcohol, in particular those containing 10 to 50 oxyethylene groups (Isosteareth-10 to Isosteareth-50); as well as their mixtures.

In particular, C ₈ -C ₄₀ polyglycerol alcohols correspond to the following formula:

RO-[CH ₂ -CH(CH ₂ OH)-O] _m -H or RO-[CH(CH ₂ OH)-CH ₂ O] _m -H

The foregoing description illustrates and describes the invention. The disclosure only shows and describes the preferred embodiments, but it should be understood that the invention may be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments and may undergo changes or modifications in the scope of the inventive concepts. as expressed in this document, based on the above teachings and/or the skills or knowledge of the person skilled in the art concerned. The embodiments described herein are further intended to explain the best modes known to applicant and to enable others skilled in the art to use the disclosure in such or other embodiments. and with the various modifications required by the particular applications or uses thereof. Accordingly, the description is not intended to limit the invention to the form disclosed herein.

The term "hair" as used herein includes hair, facial hair (including beard and mustache hair), eyebrows, eyelashes and body hair, unless otherwise stated.

In this document, the terms “comprising”, “having” and “including” are used in their broad and non-limiting sense.

A "developer composition" as used herein is a composition containing one or more oxidizing agents, preferably a peroxide (hydrogen peroxide) and is mixed with a hair color base composition to form a composition hair color ready to use.

A "hair color base composition" as used herein is a hair color composition containing one or more oxidative dye precursors and is mixed with a developer composition to form a ready hair color composition. to work.

A “ready-to-use hair coloring composition” is an “active” composition that includes one or more oxidative dye precursors and one or more oxidizing agents; and is formed by combining a hair color base composition with a developer composition.

A “composition dye” is a compound that colors the composition but does not have an appreciable coloring effect on the hair. In other words, the composition colorant is included to give color to the composition, for example, for aesthetic appearance. It is not included to give color to the hair. Styling gels, for example, can be found in a variety of different colors ( e.g. , light blue, light pink, etc.), but applying the styling gel to the hair does not change the hair color.

The terms "a", "an", "the" and "the" are understood to include the plural and the singular. Thus, the expression "a mixture of" also relates to "mixtures of". Throughout the disclosure, the expression "a mixture thereof" is used, after a list of elements as shown in the following example where the letters A through F represent the elements: "one or more elements selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture thereof. The phrase "a mixture thereof" does not require that the mixture include all elements A, B, C, D, E and F (although all elements A, B, C, D, E and F may be included). Rather, it indicates that a mixture of two or more of elements A, B, C, D, E and F may be included. In other words, it is equivalent to the formulation "one or more elements selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture of two or more of A, B, C, D , E and F".

Likewise, the expression "a salt thereof" also refers to "salts thereof". Thus, when the disclosure refers to "an element selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt thereof, and a mixture thereof", it indicates that a or more of A, B, C, D, and F may 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 may be included, or a mixture of any 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 may be included.

The expression "one or more" means "at least one" and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.

Except in the operational examples, or unless otherwise indicated, all figures expressing the quantities of ingredients and/or the reaction conditions can be modified in all cases by the term "approximately", that is to say + /- 5% of the figure indicated.

Some of the various component categories identified may overlap. In such cases where 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 nonionic surfactant can be considered both a nonionic surfactant and a fatty compound. If a particular composition includes both a nonionic surfactant and a fatty compound, a single compound will serve only as a nonionic surfactant or a fatty compound (the single compound does not serve as both a nonionic surfactant and a fatty component).

Salts referred to throughout the disclosure may include salts having a counterion such as an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or an ammonium counterion. This list of counterions is, however, not exhaustive.

The term "treat" (and grammatical variations thereof) as used herein refers to the application of the compositions of the present disclosure to a keratinous substrate such as hair. The term "treat" (and grammatical variations thereof) as used herein also refers to contacting keratinous substrates such as hair with the compositions of the present disclosure.

In this document, all ranges provided are intended to include each specific range within the given ranges, as well as a combination of intermediate subranges. So a range of 1-5 specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as subranges such as 2-5, 3-5, 2-3, 2-4, 1-4, etc. All ranges and values disclosed herein are inclusive and combinable. For example, any value or point described herein that falls within a range described herein may be used as a minimum or maximum value to derive a subrange, etc.

Any components positively set forth in the present disclosure may be negatively excluded from the claims, for example, a claimed composition may be "free", "essentially free" (or "substantially free") of one or more components which are presented in a positive manner in this disclosure. For example, silicones may optionally be included in the compositions, but preferably the compositions are free or substantially free of silicones. Silicones are synthetic polymers made up of repeating units of elemental siloxane, silicon and oxygen, combined with other elements, most commonly carbon and hydrogen. Silicones are therefore also called polysiloxanes.

The term "substantially free" or "substantially free" as used herein means that less than about 2% by weight of a specific material is added to a composition, based on the total weight of the compositions. However, the compositions may include less than about 1% by weight, less than about 0.5% by weight, less than about 0.1% by weight, or none of the specified material. All components presented herein may be optionally included or excluded from the compositions/processes/requirements. When excluded, the compositions/processes/requirements may be free or essentially free of the component. For example, a particular composition may be free or essentially free of alkoxylated compounds, for example, ethoxylated thickeners and/or ethoxylated surfactants. Likewise, a particular composition may be free or essentially free of sulfates, such as sulfate surfactants.

All publications and patent applications cited herein are incorporated by reference, and for all purposes, as if each individual publication or patent application were specifically and individually stated to be incorporated by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between this disclosure and any publication or patent application incorporated herein by reference, this disclosure shall control.
