Description

Hair coloring compositions and methods FIELD OF DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to hair coloring compositions including direct dyes, methods of coloring hair, and methods of making the hair coloring compositions.

SUMMARY

There are different hair coloring processes, depending on whether the color change should be permanent, semi-permanent or temporary. Oxidative coloring procedures typically offer the most lasting color change, but they can be complex and involve "chemical processing" of the hair. Chemical treatment improves color retention but can also change other properties of the hair. Semi-permanent and temporary coloring processes are simpler, do not require the same chemical treatment, but are typically not long-lasting.

The hair coloring compositions of the present disclosure are unique in that they provide long-lasting hair color change without the need for chemical treatment or complicated mixing and application procedures. For example, a consumer may apply the hair coloring compositions directly to the hair "as is", such as by spraying the compositions onto the hair to be colored. The compositions effectively and immediately color the hair. In addition, the compositions also impart a conditioning effect to the hair, making it look and feel soft, hydrated and shiny. This distinguishes the coloring compositions from other hair coloring compositions commonly used for hair coloring that can damage and dry hair.

The hair coloring compositions of the present disclosure include:

(a) aloe barbadensis leaf juice;

(b) one or more polyether-modified polysiloxanes;

(c) one or more non-ionic non-silicone surfactants chosen from alkoxylated compounds;

(d) one or more cationic surfactants;

(e) optionally, one or more water-soluble organic solvents;

(f) one or more direct dyes; And

(g) water.

In various embodiments, the hair coloring compositions are a homogeneous single-phase liquid. In other embodiments, the hair coloring composition is an emulsion or dispersion.

Hair coloring compositions can be easily applied to hair, for example, by spraying the composition onto the hair.

Non-limiting examples of polyether-modified polysiloxanes include dimethicone PEG/PPG-18/18, dimethicone PEG-12, dimethicone PEG-12, dimethicone PEG-14, dimethicone PEG/PPG-22/24, dimethicone PEG/PPG-17/ 18, dimethicone PEG/PPG-20/6, dimethicone PEG/PPG-14/4, and mixtures thereof.

Non-limiting examples of non-silicone nonionic surfactants include straight-chain primary alcohol alkoxylates, straight-chain secondary alcohol alkoxylates, alkylphenol alkoxylates, olefinic alkoxylates, branched-chain alkoxylates, ethoxylates fatty oils or hydrogenated fatty oils, alkyl sorbitan ester ethoxylates, alkyl glyceride ethoxylates, and mixtures thereof.

Non-limiting examples of cationic surfactants include dialkyl dimonium halide compounds, e.g., C12-15 dialkyl dimonium chloride, C12-18 dialkyldimonium chloride, C12-18 dialkyl dimonium chloride, dicapryl/dicaprylyl dimonium chloride , didecyldimonium chloride, dicetyldimonium chloride, disuifdimonium chloride, dicocodimonium chloride, distearyldimonium chloride, ceteardimonium chloride, hydroxyethyl oleyl dimonium chloride, panthenyl hydroxypropyl steardimonium chloride, hydroxypropyl bis-hydroxyethyldimonium chloride, hydroxypropyl chloride bistearyldimonium, hydroxycetyl hydroxyethyl dimonium chloride, hydroxyethyl behenamidopropyl dimonium chloride, behenamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride, cocamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride, oleamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride, behentrimonium chloride, and mixtures thereof.

Non-limiting examples of water-soluble organic solvents include glycerin, mono-alcohols, polyols (polyhydric alcohols), glycols and a mixture thereof.

Non-limiting examples of direct dyes include nitro-phenylenediamines, nitro-aminophenols, azo dyes, anthraquinones, triarylmethane dyes, indophenols and a combination thereof. Direct dyes can be cationic, anionic, neutral, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, it is preferable to include at least one cationic direct dye.

In some embodiments, the hair color composition includes one or more miscellaneous ingredients. Non-limiting examples of miscellaneous ingredients include antioxidants, pH correctors, salts, fragrances, preservatives, botanical extracts, chelating agents, vitamins, amino acids, cosmetic colorants and mixtures thereof.

In some embodiments, the hair coloring composition is free or substantially free of one or more components. For example, in various embodiments, the hair coloring composition is free or substantially free of amino silicones, e.g., amodimethicone. In various embodiments, the hair coloring composition is free or substantially free of polyorganosiloxanes other than the polyether-modified polysiloxanes of (c). In various embodiments, the hair coloring composition is free or substantially free of oxidative dye precursors.

The present disclosure also relates to methods of coloring hair. These methods include applying to the hair a hair coloring composition according to the present disclosure. The hair coloring composition can be applied to dry hair, wet hair or damp hair. Additionally, the hair coloring composition may be left on the hair indefinitely without washing the hair or it may be left on the hair for a threshold minimum time before rinsing or washing the hair coloring compositions. The hair coloring compositions may be applied to the hair by any method known in the art. However, in some embodiments, the hair coloring composition is conveniently applied to the hair by spraying the composition onto the hair.

An implementation of the present technology is described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures, in which:

THERE reports the degree of color change of hair strands after application of hair coloring compositions according to the present disclosure; And

THERE reports the degree of color change of hair strands colored with hair coloring compositions according to the present disclosure and subsequently subjected to twelve wash cycles.

It should be understood that the various aspects are not limited to the representations shown in the drawings.

(a) Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) leaf juice

The color compositions include aloe barbadensis leaf juice, which provides a myriad of benefits to the compositions and contributes to the compositions' ability to nourish, moisturize and condition the hair. Aloe barbadensis is a species of succulent plant. The aloe leaf can be divided into two main parts, namely the outer green bark, including the vascular bundles, and the inner colorless parenchyma containing the aloe gel. The inner core of the aloe leaf is referred to by different terms used interchangeably, such as internal pulp, mucilaginous tissue, mucilaginous jelly, internal jelly, and leaf parenchyma tissue. Technically, the term "pulp" or "parenchyma tissue" refers to the intact fleshy inner part of the leaf, including cell walls and organelles, while the term "gel" or "mucilage" refers to the clear, viscous liquid contained in parenchyma cells.

For the purposes of this disclosure, the terms “aloe barbadensis leaf juice” designate the mucilage of the leaf. This definition, however, does not exclude other parts of the colorless inner parenchyma or even other parts of the leaf from inclusion in the present compositions.

The total amount of aloe barbadensis leaf juice in the compositions varies. However, in various embodiments, the total amount of aloe barbadensis leaf juice in the compositions is from about 1 to about 25 weight percent, based on the total weight of the composition.

The non-silicone nonionic surfactants may comprise an average of 2 to 100 moles of alkylene oxide per mole of nonionic surfactant. This figure is called here the alkoxylation index (of the non-ionic non-silicone surfactant). Non-limiting examples of non-silicone nonionic surfactants include adducts of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide with fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty amines and fatty oils. Suitable non-silicone nonionic surfactants include surfactants of the general formula: RY-(C ₂ H ₄ O) _z -C ₂ H ₄ OH where R is selected from the group consisting of primary chain alkyl and/or acyl hydrocarbyl groups , secondary and branched; primary, secondary and branched chain alkenyl hydrocarbyl groups; and primary, secondary and branched chain alkenyl-substituted phenolic hydrocarbyl groups; the hydrocarbyl groups having a chain length of 8 to about 25, preferably 10 to 20, for example 14 to 18 carbon atoms. R may also be mono-, di- or tri-alkyl glycerides with a hydroxyl group as a side group in each of the alkyl chains, for example, castor oil or hydrogenated castor oil. R can also be alkyl sorbitan esters, with a carbon chain length of 8 to 25.

(g) Water

For the purposes of the present disclosure, the quantity of water mentioned here is all the water contained in the composition, with the exception of the water present in the aloe barbadensis leaf juice. Aloe barbadensis leaf juice naturally includes water, which is part of aloe barbadensis leaf juice. If a composition according to the present disclosure includes about 10% by weight of aloe barbadensis leaf juice, a portion of the approximately 10% by weight of aloe barbadensis leaf juice may be water. However, because this water is part of the aloe barbadensis leaf juice, it is not included in the total amount of "water" mentioned throughout the disclosure. The amount of water ( i.e., the total amount of water other than water present in aloe barbadensis leaf juice) in the compositions will vary. However, in various embodiments, the total amount of water in the composition (i.e., the total amount of water other than water present in the aloe barbadensis leaf juice) is about 60 to about 92% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. In other embodiments, the total amount of water (i.e., the total amount of water other than water present in the aloe barbadensis leaf juice) in the composition is about 65 about 92% by weight, about 70 to about 92% by weight, about 75 to about 92% by weight, about 80 to about 92% by weight, about 60 to about 90% by weight , from about 65 to about 90% by weight, about 70 to about 90% by weight, about 75 to about 90% by weight, about 80 to about 90% by weight, about 60 to about 85% by weight, about 65 at about 85% by weight, about 70 to about 85% by weight, about 75 to about 85% by weight, or about 80 to about 85% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

(h) Miscellaneous ingredients

The compositions subject to the present disclosure may optionally include (or optionally exclude) one or more miscellaneous ingredients. Miscellaneous ingredients are ingredients that are compatible with the hair coloring compositions and do not disrupt or materially affect the fundamental and innovative properties of the compositions. Non-limiting examples of ingredients include preservatives, fragrances, pH correctors, salts, chelating agents, buffers, antioxidants, flavonoids, vitamins, botanical extracts, UV filter agents, proteins , protein hydrolysates and/or isolates, fillers (for example, organic and/or inorganic fillers such as talc, calcium carbonate, silica, etc.), composition dyes, cationic polymers, thickening agents, etc. In various embodiments, the various ingredients are chosen from preservatives, perfumes, pH correctors, salts, chelating agents, buffers, composition dyes, and mixtures thereof. In the context of the present disclosure, a "composition dye" is a compound which colors the composition but does not have an appreciable coloring effect on the hair. In other words, the colorant in the composition is included to provide coloring to the composition for aesthetic purposes but is not intended to impart coloring properties to 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 visibly change the hair color.

The total amount of the one or more miscellaneous ingredients, if present, will vary.

Example 2 (Stability study)

The compositions of Example 1 were prepared, and the stability of the compositions was assessed visually. Amodimethicone is a synthetic material but is commonly used in hair treatment products, including conditioning products. It is used for its smoothing, anti-frizz and lightness characteristics. Amodimethicone, however, posed stability problems when incorporated into compositions similar to those in the present case, even when used in very small quantities. The FJ Comparative Compositions included varying amounts of amodimethicone, i.e. , 10, 5, 2.5, 1 and 0.25% by weight of amodimethicone. Comparative composition F is identical to inventive composition D, except that amodimethicone was used in an amount of 10% by weight instead of aloe barbadensis leaf juice in an amount of 10% by weight. Comparative compositions GJ were identical to inventive composition F, except that consecutively lower amounts of amodimethicone were included. The reduced amount of amodimethicone was replaced with additional water. The stability of all the compositions was assessed after 24 hours. All compositions were prepared and allowed to stand for 24 hours at room temperature (approximately 25 ^oC ). All compositions containing amodimethicone, regardless of the amount, underwent phase separation. The amodimethicone separated from the water and formed a layer on top of the water.

The inventors discovered that aloe barbadensis leaf juice could be incorporated into the compositions without destabilizing the compositions, in high quantities (10% by weight). The inventive compositions of Example 1 include 10% by weight of aloe barbadensis leaf juice, as this is the largest amount of amodimethicone tested. Unlike amodimethicone, aloe barbadensis leaf juice is natural. Yet, it gives the hair important conditioning properties, for example, smoothing, anti-frizz and lightness characteristics.

Example 3 (Washing study)

Inventive Composition D from Example 1 is included in the table below, which includes a combination of direct dyes imparting a bright red color to hair. Comparative Composition C6 includes the same direct dyes in the same amount as inventive composition D in deionized water only. Thus, Comparative Composition C6 functions as a type of witness.

Comparative Compositions C7-C9 are identical to Inventive Composition D, except that PEG-14 dimethicone was omitted from Comparative Composition C7, Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice was omitted from Comparative Composition C8, and aloe chloride was omitted from Comparative Composition C8. hydroxyethyl oleyl dimonium was omitted from Comparative Composition C9.

In addition to the comparative compositions in the table above (C6-C9), a commercial reference product for hair coloring using direct dyes was obtained. The reference commercial product, such as Inventive Composition D, gives a bright red color to the hair. The ingredients listed on the product are shown below.

Comparative commercial reference product DISILOXANE METHYL TRIMETHICONE TRIETHOXYCAPRYLYLSILANE RED 33 LAKE RED 7 LAKE TRIMETHYLSILOXYSILICATE HYDROFLUOROCARBON 152A BUTANE

A washing study was carried out to determine the durability (longevity) offered by the inventive composition D, the comparative compositions C6-C9 and the commercial reference. The test was conducted using 90% permed gray hair strands (GP), 90% non-permed gray hair strands (NGP), and 25% level 8 gray hair strands (GL8) . Six strands for each hair type were tested (6 strands of 90% GP, 6 strands of GNP, and 6 strands of GL8; a total of 18 strands). The hair strands were treated (colored) with Inventive Composition D, Comparative Compositions C6-C9, the same quantity of each composition tested was sprayed onto the hair strands, massaged into the hair strands, and the hair strands were allowed to air dry. After about an hour, the samples were completely dry, and the color was appreciated. The results of the color assessment are presented on the . The y-axis of the graph indicates the ∆E, which is the difference between the initial hair color value before coloring and the strand color value after coloring (without washing), based on the assessment of the L values *, a* and b*.

Hair color was assessed using L*, a* and b* values. The L*a*b* colorimetric system is a colorimetric system that assigns each color a position in a spherical color space. In this color space, brightness is represented by a position in the y-direction (z-axis), hue is represented by a position in the circumferential direction, and chroma is represented by a distance from the central axis. The position on the ordinate (z axis) representing brightness is denoted by L*, and the L* value varies from 0 corresponding to black to 100 corresponding to white. Positive x-axis direction is red direction, positive y-axis direction is yellow direction, negative x-axis direction is green direction, negative y-axis direction is corresponds to a blue direction, and the position on the x axis is denoted by a* whose value varies from -60 to +60 and the position on the y axis is denoted by b* whose value varies from -60 to +60. Hue and chroma are represented by the a* value and the b* value, respectively. The higher the L* value, the lighter the hair color; the higher the a* value, the more the hue shifts towards red (i.e. the hair is redder); and the lower the b* value, the more the chroma value shifts towards blue. Delta-E (ΔE), calculated from the L*, a* and b* values, represents the overall color change on the strands.

After assessing the L*a*b* values of the strands before coloring and after coloring (without washing), the hair strands were washed with a standard cleansing shampoo (containing 12% by weight of sodium laureth sulfate, pH = 5 .3 +/- 0.3) and dried. The washing and drying cycle was carried out twelve times and the color of the strands was appreciated. The results after the ^12th wash cycle are shown on the . The y-axis of the graph reports the ∆E, which is the difference between the initial color value of the hair strands before coloring and the color value of the strands after coloring and after being subjected to 12 wash cycles, according to the appreciation of the values L*, a* and b*.

The results of the show that the color of the commercial reference did not persist - all the initial color was largely eliminated. The commercial reference results are similar to measurements taken on untreated hair strands (uncolored hair strands). In fact, the commercial reference color was largely removed after the first wash (data not shown). After twelve washes, hair treated with inventive composition D and comparative composition C6 (containing direct dyes in deionized water) retained significantly more color than comparative compositions C7-C9. The graph of the shows that the comparative composition C6 was slightly more colorful than the inventive composition D, but the slight difference is not statistically significant and therefore probably represents a simple variation. Although Comparative Composition C6 provided great color durability, it did not have the wetting and moisturizing properties of Inventive Composition D. Hair treated with Comparative Composition C6 was drier and frizzier than hair treated with Comparative Composition C6. Inventive Composition D. Additionally, Inventive Composition D includes PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, which functions as a gentle cleanser. Despite the inclusion of mild cleaners, which can negatively impact color deposition, inventive composition D provided long-lasting color deposition equivalent to that of comparative composition C6, which did not include a mild cleanser.

Inventive composition D performed significantly better than comparative compositions C7-C9 with respect to color fastness (durability). The C7 comparative composition results illustrate the influence of a polyether-modified polysiloxane (PEG-14 dimethicone) on the formulation. The results of the comparative composition C8 illustrate the influence of Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice on the formulation. The results of Comparative Composition C9 illustrate the influence of a cationic surfactant (hydroxyethyl oleyl dimonium chloride) on the formulation. If any of these three elements are omitted from the formulation, color fastness (durability) suffers significantly. Additionally, Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice, polyether-modified polysiloxane, and cationic surfactants provide benefits beyond just color fastness. Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice has a stabilizing effect on compositions and provides conditioning properties to the hair. Polyether-modified polysiloxane moisturizes hair and provides anti-frizz properties. Cationic surfactant (hydroxyethyl oleyl dimonium chloride) provides hair with conditioning and softening properties.

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, or 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.

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/kits 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.
