Description

[0001] The present application relates to a method for coloring keratinic material, in particular human hair, which comprises the application of at least two different agents (a) and (b). Agent (a) contains at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) and at least one color-imparting compound (a2) from the group of inorganic and / or organic pigments. Agent (b) is an acidic, water-containing aftertreatment agent with a pH of 1.5 to 5.5. Furthermore, at least one of agents (a) and / or (b) contains a film-forming polymer. Agent (a) is applied first, followed by agent (b), with the period between the application of agents (a) and (b) being a maximum of 24 hours.

[0002] Altering the shape and color of keratinous material, especially human hair, represents an important area of ​​modern cosmetics. Depending on the coloring requirements, hair coloring specialists are familiar with various coloring systems. For permanent, intense colorings with good fastness properties and good gray coverage, oxidation dyes are typically used. Such dyes contain oxidation dye precursors, so-called developer components, and coupler components, which, under the influence of oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide, form the actual dyes. Oxidation dyes are characterized by very long-lasting coloring results.

[0003] When using direct dyes, the fully formed pigments diffuse from the dyeing agent into the hair fiber. Compared to oxidative hair coloring, the colors obtained with direct dyes are less durable and wash out more quickly. Colorations with direct dyes typically remain on the hair for between 5 and 20 washes.

[0004] The use of color pigments is known for temporary color changes on hair and / or skin. Color pigments are generally understood to be insoluble, color-imparting substances. These are present undissolved in the form of small particles in the coloring formulation and are deposited only externally on the hair fibers and / or the skin surface. Therefore, they can usually be removed without residue after several washes with surfactant-containing cleansers. Various products of this type are available on the market under the name hair mascara.

[0005] DE 102014218006 A1 describes a packaging unit for coloring keratin fibers, comprising the two agents (M1) and (M2). Agent (M1) contains at least one colorant compound from the group of oxidation dye precursors and direct dyes, as well as an aminosilicone. Agent (M2) is an oxidizing agent preparation.

[0006] DE 102004013795 A1 describes cosmetic products containing at least one aminosilicone of a formula (SH ).

[0007] If the user desires particularly long-lasting coloring, the use of oxidative colorants has so far been the only option. However, despite numerous optimization attempts, an unpleasant ammonia or amine odor cannot be completely avoided with oxidative hair coloring. The hair damage still associated with the use of oxidative colorants also has a detrimental effect on the user's hair. Therefore, the search for alternative, high-performance coloring methods remains a challenge.

[0008] The object of the present invention was to provide a dyeing system that possesses fastness properties comparable to oxidative dyeing. In particular, the washfastness properties should be outstanding, but the use of the oxidation dye precursors otherwise commonly employed for this purpose should be avoided. The search was for a technology that makes it possible to fix the color-imparting compounds known from the prior art (such as pigments) to the hair in an extremely permanent manner. When used in a dyeing process, intensive coloring results with good fastness properties should be achieved. In particular, when using the corresponding processes, particularly washfast colorations should be obtained that do not suffer any reduction in color intensity even after repeated combing or styling.

[0009] Surprisingly, it has now been found that the aforementioned object can be excellently achieved if keratinic materials, in particular hair, are colored using a process in which at least two agents (a) and (b) are applied to the keratinic materials (hair). Agent (a) contains at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1), at least one color-imparting compound (a2) from the group of inorganic and / or organic pigments, and optionally at least one film-forming polymer (a3) ​​different from (a1). Agent (b) is an acidic aftertreatment agent with a pH of 1.5 to 5.5 and contains water, at least one acid (b1), and optionally at least one film-forming polymer (b2). Furthermore, both agents (a) and (b) are subject to the proviso that at least one of agents (a) and / or (b) contains at least one film-forming polymer.First, product (a) is applied, followed by product (b), with a maximum of 24 hours between the application of products (a) and (b). When both products (a) and (b) were used in a single dyeing process, keratin fibers could be dyed with high color intensity. Furthermore, the washfastness of the hair dyed with (a) and (b) was excellent.

[0010] A first object of the present invention is a method for dyeing keratin material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps: Application of a coloring agent (a) to the keratinic material, wherein the agent (a) contains: (a1) at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer, and (a2) at least one color-providing compound from the group of inorganic and / or organic pigments, and (a3) ​​optionally at least one film-forming polymer which is different from (a1), Application of a post-treatment agent (b) to the keratinic material, wherein the agent (b) has a pH of 1.5 to 5.5 and contains: water and (b1) at least one acid, and (b2) optionally at least one film-forming polymer, with the proviso that at least one of the agents (a) and / or (b) contains at least one film-forming polymer, characterized in that agent (a) is applied first, then agent (b) is applied, the period between the application of agents (a) and (b) being a maximum of 24 hours.

[0011] The work leading to this invention has shown that the successive application of coloring agent (a) and after-treatment agent (b) leads to colored keratinic material which is characterized by good fastness properties, in particular by particularly good wash fastness.

[0012] Without being limited to this theory, it is assumed that the amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) contained in the colorant (a) forms adhesive bonds with the keratin material, which initially fix the aminosilicone (a1) to the keratin material. The color-imparting compounds (a2) are incorporated into or onto the aminosilicone (a1) and are thus also immobilized on the exterior of the keratin material.

[0013] The adhesive bonds between amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) and keratin are presumably based on electrostatic interactions that develop between the positively charged amino groups of the silicone polymer (a1) and negative charges on the keratin material.

[0014] Surprisingly, it was observed that the color-providing compounds (a2) attach to the aminosilicone (a1) when used simultaneously or form a common layer with it. This joint layer formation of (a1) and (a2) results in colorations with good washfastness, even without the need for diffusion of the color-providing compound into the hair fiber. By using a film-forming polymer, which is incorporated either into the colorant (a) and / or into the aftertreatment agent (b), the layer of (a1) and (a2) can be additionally fixed, thus further enhancing washfastness.

[0015] Furthermore, it was found that when aminosilicone (a1) and color-imparting compound (a2) were deposited together, very stable layers could be formed, especially when the optimized pH values ​​were selected for the application. Particularly resistant layers could be achieved when (a1) and (a2) were first applied to the keratin materials in a neutral to basic environment, and the pH was subsequently lowered by applying an acidic post-treatment agent. keratin material

[0016] Keratinous material includes hair, skin, and nails (such as fingernails and / or toenails). Wool, fur, and feathers also fall under the definition of keratinous material.

[0017] Keratin material is preferably understood to mean human hair, human skin, and human nails, especially fingernails and toenails. Keratin material is most preferably understood to mean human hair. Means (a) and (b)

[0018] In the process according to the invention, agents (a) and (b) are applied to the keratinous material, in particular human hair. The two agents (a) and (b) are different from each other.

[0019] In other words, a first subject of the present invention is a method for dyeing keratin material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps: Application of a coloring agent (a) to the keratinic material, wherein the agent (a) contains: (a1) at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer, and (a2) at least one color-providing compound from the group of inorganic and / or organic pigments, and (a3) ​​optionally at least one film-forming polymer which is different from (a1), Application of a post-treatment agent (b) to the keratinic material, wherein the agent (b) has a pH of 1.5 to 5.5 and contains: water and (b1) at least one acid, and (b2) optionally at least one film-forming polymer, with the proviso that at least one of the agents (a) and / or (b) contains at least one film-forming polymer, and the agents (a) and (b) are different from one another, characterized in that agent (a) is applied first, then agent (b) is applied, the period between the application of agents (a) and (b) being a maximum of 24 hours. amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) in the medium (a)

[0020] As the first ingredient (a1) essential to the invention, the agent (a) contains at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer. The amino-functionalized silicone polymer can alternatively be referred to as aminosilicone or amodimethicone.

[0021] Silicone polymers are generally macromolecules having a molecular weight of at least 500 g / mol, preferably at least 1000 g / mol, more preferably at least 2500 g / mol, particularly preferably at least 5000 g / mol, which comprise repeating organic units.

[0022] The maximum molecular weight of the silicone polymer depends on the degree of polymerization (number of polymerized monomers) and the batch size, and is also determined by the polymerization method. For the purposes of the present invention, it is preferred if the maximum molecular weight of the silicone polymer is no more than 10 7 g / mol, preferably no more than 10 6 g / mol, and particularly preferably no more than 10 5 g / mol.

[0023] Silicone polymers comprise numerous Si-O repeating units, where the Si atoms may carry organic residues such as alkyl or substituted alkyl groups. A silicone polymer is therefore also referred to as polydimethylsiloxane.

[0024] In accordance with the high molecular weight of the silicone polymers, these are based on more than 10 Si-O repeating units, preferably more than 50 Si-O repeating units and particularly preferably more than 100 Si-O repeating units, most preferably more than 500 Si-O repeating units.

[0025] An amino-functionalized silicone polymer is a functionalized polydimethylsiloxane that carries at least one structural unit containing an amino group. The amino-functionalized silicone polymer preferably carries multiple structural units, each containing at least one amino group. An amino group is defined as a primary amino group, a secondary amino group, and a tertiary amino group. All of these amino groups can be protonated in an acidic environment and are then present in their cationic form.

[0026] In principle, good results could be achieved with amino-functionalized silicone polymers (a1) if they contain at least one primary, at least one secondary, and / or at least one tertiary amino group. However, dyeings with the best washfastness were observed when an amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) containing at least one secondary amino group was used in the agent (a).

[0027] In a very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the agent (a) contains at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) having at least one secondary amino group.

[0028] The secondary amino group(s) can be located at various positions on the amino-functionalized silicone polymer. Particularly good results were found when using an amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) that has at least one, preferably several, structural units of the formula (Si-amino).

[0029] In the structural units of the formula (Si-Amino), the abbreviations ALK1 and ALK2 independently represent a linear or branched, divalent C 1 -C 20 alkylene group.

[0030] In a further very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the agent (a) contains at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) which comprises at least one structural unit of the formula (Si-Amino), where ALK1 and ALK2 independently represent a linear or branched, divalent C 1 -C 20 alkylene group.

[0031] The positions marked with an asterisk (*) indicate the bond to other structural units of the silicone polymer. For example, the silicon atom adjacent to the star can be bonded to another oxygen atom, and the oxygen atom adjacent to the star can be bonded to another silicon atom or to a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group.

[0032] A divalent C 1 -C 20 alkylene group can alternatively be referred to as a divalent or divalent C 1 -C 20 alkylene group, which means that each group ALK1 or AK2 can form two bonds.

[0033] In the case of ALK1, one bond is formed from the silicon atom to the ALK1 group, and the second bond is formed between ALK1 and the secondary amino group.

[0034] In the case of ALK2, one bond is formed from the secondary amino group to the ALK2 moiety, and the second bond is formed between ALK2 and the primary amino group.

[0035] Examples of a linear divalent C 1 -C 20 alkylene group are, for example, the methylene group (-CH 2 -), the ethylene group (-CH 2 -CH 2 -), the propylene group (-CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -) and the butylene group (-CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -). The propylene group (-CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 -) is particularly preferred. From a chain length of 3 C atoms, divalent alkylene groups can also be branched. Examples of branched, divalent C 3 -C 20 alkylene groups are (-CH 2 -CH(CH 3 )-) and (-CH 2 -CH(CH 3 )-CH 2 -).

[0036] In a further particularly preferred embodiment, the structural units of the formula (Si-amino) represent repeating units in the amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1), so that the silicone polymer comprises several structural units of the formula (Si-amino).

[0037] Particularly suitable amino-functionalized silicone polymers (a1) with at least one secondary amino group are listed below.

[0038] Colorations with the very best wash fastnesses could be obtained when, in the process according to the invention, at least one agent (a) was applied to the keratinic material, which agent contains at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) comprising structural units of the formula (Si-I) and the formula (Si-II)

[0039] In a further explicitly very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the agent (a) contains at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) which comprises structural units of the formula (Si-I) and the formula (Si-II)

[0040] A corresponding amino-functionalized silicone polymer with the structural units (Si-I) and (Si-II) is, for example, the commercial product DC 2-8566 or Dowsil 2-8566 Amino Fluid, which is commercially distributed by the Dow Chemical Company and which has the name "Siloxanes and Silicones, 3-[(2-Aminoethyl)amino]-2-methylpropyl Me, Di-Me-Siloxane" and the CAS number 106842-44-8.

[0041] In a further preferred embodiment, a method according to the invention is characterized by the application of an agent (a) to the keratinic material, wherein the agent (a) contains at least one amino-functional silicone polymer (a1) of the formula (Si-III), where m and n are numbers chosen so that the sum (n + m) is in the range from 1 to 1000, n is a number in the range from 0 to 999 and m is a number in the range from 1 to 1000, R1, R2 and R3, which are the same or different, are a hydroxy group or a C1-4 alkoxy group, where at least one of the groups R1 to R3 is a hydroxy group;

[0043] The silicones of formulas (Si-III) and (Si-IV) differ in the grouping at the Si atom carrying the nitrogen-containing group: In formula (Si-III), R2 represents a hydroxyl group or a C1-4 alkoxy group, while the residue in formula (Si-IV) is a methyl group. The individual Si groups, which are designated by the indices m and n or p and q, do not have to be present as blocks; rather, the individual units can also be statistically distributed, i.e., in formulas (Si-III) and (Si-IV), not every R1-Si(CH3)2 group is necessarily bonded to an -[O-Si(CH3)2]- group.

[0044] Methods according to the invention have also proven particularly effective with regard to the desired effects, in which an agent (a) is applied to the keratin fibers, which agent contains at least one amino-functional silicone polymer (a1) of the formula (Si-V) in the A represents a group -OH, -O-Si(CH 3 ) 3 ,-O-Si(CH 3 ) 2 OH,-O-Si(CH 3 ) 2 OCH 3, D represents a group -H, -Si(CH 3 ) 3 ,-Si(CH 3 ) 2 OH, -Si(CH 3 ) 2 OCH 3, b, n and c represent integers between 0 and 1000, with the provisos n > 0 and b + c > 0 at least one of the conditions A = -OH or D = -H is fulfilled.

[0045] In the above-mentioned formula (Si-V), the individual siloxane units with the indices b, c and n are statistically distributed, ie they do not necessarily have to be block copolymers.

[0046] The agent (a) may further comprise one or more different amino-functionalized silicone polymers described by the formula (Si-VI) M(R a Q b SiO (4-ab) / 2)x (R c SiO (4-c) / 2)y M (Si-VI), wherein in the above formula R is a hydrocarbon or a hydrocarbon radical having 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, Q is a polar radical of the general formula -R 1< HZ, wherein R 1< is a divalent linking group bonded to hydrogen and the radical Z, composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms or carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen atoms, and Z is an organic, amino-functional radical containing at least one amino-functional group;"a" takes on values ​​in the range of about 0 to about 2, "b" takes on values ​​in the range of about 1 to about 3, "a" + "b" is less than or equal to 3, and "c" is a number in the range of about 1 to about 3, and x is a number in the range of 1 to about 2,000, preferably from about 3 to about 50, and most preferably from about 3 to about 25, and y is a number in the range of about 20 to about 10,000, preferably from about 125 to about 10,000, and most preferably from about 150 to about 1,000, and M is a suitable silicone end group as known in the art, preferably trimethylsiloxy.

The amine number represents the milliequivalents of amine per gram of the amino-functional silicone. It can be determined by titration and can also be expressed in mg KOH / g.

[0055] Furthermore, agents (a) containing a specific 4-morpholinomethyl-substituted silicone polymer (a1) are also suitable for use in the process according to the invention. This amino-functionalized silicone polymer comprises structural units of the formulas (SI-VIII) and (Si-IX).

[0056] Corresponding 4-morpholinomethyl-substituted silicone polymers are described below.

[0057] A particularly preferred amino-functionalized silicone polymer is known as amodimethicone / morpholinomethyl silsesquioxane copolymer and is commercially available in the form of the raw material Belsil ADM 8301 E from Wacker.

[0058] For example, a silicone containing structural units of the formulas (Si-VIII), (Si-IX) and (Si-X) can be used as a 4-morpholinomethyl-substituted silicone. in which R1 stands for -CH 3 , -OH, -OCH 3 , -O-CH 2 CH 3 , -O-CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 , or -O-CH(CH 3 ) 2; R2 stands for -CH 3 , -OH, or -OCH 3.

[0060] Structural formula (Si-XI) is intended to clarify that the siloxane groups n and m do not necessarily have to be directly bonded to an end grouping B or D. Rather, in preferred formulas (Si-VI), a > 0 or b > 0, and in particularly preferred formulas (Si-VI), a > 0 and c > 0, i.e., the terminal grouping B or D is preferably bonded to a dimethylsiloxy grouping. In formula (Si-VI), the siloxane units a, b, c, m, and n are also preferably distributed randomly.

[0061] The silicones used according to the invention and represented by formula (Si-VI) can be trimethylsilyl-terminated (D or B = -Si(CH 3 ) 3 ), but they can also be dimethylsilylhydroxy-terminated on two sides or dimethylsilylhydroxy- and dimethylsilylmethoxy-terminated on one side. Silicones particularly preferably used in the context of the present invention are selected from silicones in which B = -O-Si(CH 3 ) 2 OH and D = -Si(CH 3 ) 3 B = -O-Si(CH 3 ) 2 OH and D = -Si(CH 3 ) 2 OH B = -O-Si(CH 3 ) 2 OH and D = -Si(CH 3 ) 2 OCH 3 B = -O-Si(CH 3 ) 3 and D = -Si(CH 3 ) 2 OH B = -O-Si(CH 3 ) 2 OCH 3 and D = -Si(CH 3 ) 2 OH These silicones lead to exorbitant improvements in the properties of hair treated with the inventive agents, and to significantly improved protection during oxidative treatment.

[0062] To produce particularly resistant films, the agent (a) contains the amino-functionalized silicone polymer(s) (a2), preferably in certain quantity ranges.

[0063] Particularly robust films were obtained when an agent (a) was used in the process according to the invention which - based on the total weight of the agent (a) - contains one or more silicone polymers in a total amount of 0.1 to 8.0 wt.%, preferably 0.02 to 5.0 wt.%, more preferably 0.1 to 3.0 wt.% and most preferably 0.05 to 3.5 wt.%.

[0064] In a further preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the agent (a) - based on the total weight of the agent (a) - contains one or more amino-functionalized silicone polymers in a total amount of 0.1 to 8.0 wt.%, preferably 0.02 to 5.0 wt.%, more preferably 0.1 to 3.0 wt.% and most preferably 0.05 to 3.5 wt.%. color-giving compound (a2) in the medium (a)

[0065] As a second component essential to the invention, the agent (a) used in the process according to the invention contains at least one color-providing compound (a2) from the group of inorganic and / or organic pigments.

[0066] For the purposes of the invention, coloring compounds are understood to be substances capable of imparting color to the keratin material. The coloring compounds are selected from the group of pigments.

The water solubility can be determined, for example, using the method described below: 0.5 g of the pigment is weighed into a beaker. A stirring bar is added. Then, one liter of distilled water is added. This mixture is heated to 25°C for one hour while stirring on a magnetic stirrer. If undissolved components of the pigment are still visible in the mixture after this period, the solubility of the pigment is below 0.5 g / L. If the pigment-water mixture cannot be visually assessed due to the high intensity of the pigment, which may be present in finely dispersed form, the mixture is filtered.If a portion of undissolved pigment remains on the filter paper, the solubility of the pigment is below 0.5 g / L.

[0068] Suitable color pigments are of inorganic and / or organic origin.

The most important representatives of these silicates are muscovite, phlogopite, paragonite, biotite, lepidolite, and margarite. To produce pearlescent pigments in combination with metal oxides, the mica, predominantly muscovite or phlogopite, is coated with a metal oxide.

[0073] As an alternative to natural mica, synthetic mica, optionally coated with one or more metal oxides, can also be used as a pearlescent pigment. Particularly preferred pearlescent pigments are based on natural or synthetic mica and coated with one or more of the aforementioned metal oxides. The color of the respective pigments can be varied by varying the layer thickness of the metal oxide(s).

[0080] In a further embodiment, the agent according to the invention may also contain (a) one or more coloring compounds (a2) from the group of organic pigments

[0081] The organic pigments according to the invention are correspondingly insoluble, organic dyes or lakes which can be selected, for example, from the group of nitroso, nitro, azo, xanthene, anthraquinone, isoindolinone, isoindoline, quinacridone, perinone, perylene, diketopyrrolopyorrole, indigo, thioindido, dioxazine and / or triarylmethane compounds.

[0083] In a further particularly preferred embodiment, a method according to the invention is characterized in that the agent (a) contains at least one color-providing compound (a2) from the group of organic pigments, which is selected from the group consisting of carmine, quinacridone, phthalocyanine, sorghum, blue pigments with the color index numbers CI 42090, CI 69800, CI 69825, CI 73000, CI 74100, CI 74160, yellow pigments with the color index numbers CI 11680, CI 11710, CI 15985, CI 19140, CI 20040, CI 21100, CI 21108, CI 47000, CI 47005, green pigments with the color index numbers CI 61565, CI 61570, CI 74260, orange pigments with the color index Numbers CI 11725, CI 15510, CI 45370, CI 71105, red pigments with the Color Index numbers CI 12085, CI 12120, CI 12370, CI 12420, CI 12490, CI 14700, CI 15525, CI 15580, CI 15620, CI 15630, CI 15800, CI 15850, CI 15865, CI 15880, CI 17200, CI 26100, CI 45380, CI 45410, CI 58000, CI 73360, CI 73915 and / or CI 75470.

[0084] The organic pigment can also be a colored lake. For the purposes of the invention, the term colored lake refers to particles comprising a layer of absorbed dyes, the particle-dye unit being insoluble under the aforementioned conditions. The particles can be, for example, inorganic substrates, which can be aluminum, silica, calcium borosilicate, calcium aluminum borosilicate, or even aluminum.

[0085] Alizarin lake, for example, can be used as a colored varnish.

[0086] Due to their excellent light and temperature stability, the use of the aforementioned pigments in agent (a) of the process according to the invention is very particularly preferred. Furthermore, it is preferred if the pigments used have a specific particle size. It is therefore advantageous according to the invention if the at least one pigment has an average particle size D 50 of 1.0 to 50 µm, preferably of 5.0 to 45 µm, more preferably of 10 to 40 µm, in particular of 14 to 30 µm. The average particle size D 50 can be determined, for example, using dynamic light scattering (DLS).

[0087] The pigment(s) may be used in an amount of 0.001 to 20% by weight, in particular 0.05 to 5% by weight, based in each case on the total weight of the agent (a). film-forming polymer (a3) ​​in the medium (a)

[0088] When applying the process according to the invention, it is provided that at least one of the agents (a) and / or (b) contains at least one film-forming polymer.

[0089] If the agent (a) contains at least one film-forming polymer, this is referred to below as (a3). If the agent (b) contains at least one film-forming polymer, this is referred to below as (b2).

[0090] It is particularly preferred if the agent (a) contains at least one film-forming polymer (a3). It is very particularly preferred if the agent (a) contains at least one hydrophilic, film-forming polymer (a3). The film-forming polymer (a3) ​​is different from the amino-functionalized silicone polymers (a1).

[0091] Polymers are understood to be macromolecules with a molecular weight of at least 1000 g / mol, preferably at least 2500 g / mol, particularly preferably at least 5000 g / mol, which consist of identical, repeating organic units. The polymers of the present invention can be synthetically produced polymers prepared by polymerizing one monomer type or by polymerizing different, structurally different monomer types. If the polymer is prepared by polymerizing one monomer type, it is referred to as a homopolymer. If structurally different monomer types are used in the polymerization, the resulting polymer is referred to as a copolymer.

[0092] The maximum molecular weight of the polymer depends on the degree of polymerization (number of polymerized monomers) and the batch size, and is also determined by the polymerization method. For the purposes of the present invention, it is preferred if the maximum molecular weight of the film-forming, hydrophobic polymer (c) is not more than 10 7 g / mol, preferably not more than 10 6 g / mol, and particularly preferably not more than 10 5 g / mol.

[0093] A hydrophilic polymer is understood to be a polymer that has a solubility in water at 25 °C (760 mmHg) of more than 1 wt.%, preferably more than 2 wt.%.

[0094] The water solubility of a film-forming, hydrophilic polymer can be determined, for example, as follows: 1.0 g of the polymer is placed in a beaker. The volume is filled to 100 g with water. A stir bar is added, and the mixture is heated to 25 °C on a magnetic stirrer while stirring. Stirring is continued for 60 minutes. The aqueous mixture is then visually assessed. A completely dissolved polymer appears homogeneous microscopically. If the polymer-water mixture cannot be assessed visually due to high turbidity, the mixture is filtered. If no undissolved polymer remains on the filter paper, the polymer's solubility is greater than 1 wt.%.

[0095] For the purposes of the invention, a film-forming polymer is understood to be a polymer capable of forming a film on a substrate, for example, on a keratinous material or a keratinous fiber. The formation of a film can be demonstrated, for example, by observing the keratinous material treated with the polymer under a microscope.

[0096] Nonionic, anionic, and cationic polymers can be used as film-forming, hydrophilic polymers. The use of nonionic, film-forming, hydrophilic polymers (a3) ​​has proven particularly preferred.

[0097] In a further very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the agent (a) contains at least one non-ionic, film-forming, hydrophilic polymer (a3).

[0098] Suitable film-forming, hydrophilic polymers can be selected, for example, from the group of polyvinylpyrrolidone (co)polymers, polyvinyl alcohol (co)polymers, vinyl acetate (co)polymers, carboxyvinyl (co)polymers, acrylic acid (co)polymers, methacrylic acid (co)polymers, natural gums, polysaccharides and / or acrylamide (co)polymers.

[0099] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred to use polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and / or a vinylpyrrolidone-containing copolymer as the film-forming hydrophilic polymer.

[0100] In a further very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the agent (a) contains at least one film-forming polymer (a3) ​​which is selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and the copolymers of polyvinylpyrrolidone.

[0101] In a further very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the agent (a) contains at least one film-forming, hydrophilic polymer (a3) ​​which is selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and the copolymers of polyvinylpyrrolidone.

[0102] It is explicitly most preferred if the agent according to the invention contains polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the film-forming, hydrophilic polymer (a3). Surprisingly, the washfastness of the dyes obtained with PVP-containing formulations was very good.

[0103] Particularly suitable polyvinylpyrrolidones are available, for example, under the name Luviskol ®< K from BASF SE, in particular Luviskol ®< K 90 or Luviskol ®< K 85 from BASF SE.

[0104] Another particularly suitable polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is the polymer PVP K30, which is marketed by Ashland (ISP, POI Chemical). PVP K 30 is a polyvinylpyrrolidone that is highly soluble in cold water and has the CAS number 9003-39-8. The molecular weight of PVP K 30 is approximately 40,000 g / mol.

[0105] Other particularly suitable polyvinylpyrrolidones are the substances known under the trade names LUVITEC K 17, LUVITEC K 30, LUVITEC K 60, LUVITEC K 80, LUVITEC K 85, LUVITEC K 90 and LUVITEC K 115 and available from BASF.

[0106] The use of film-forming hydrophilic polymers (a3) ​​from the group of polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymers also led to particularly good and washfast color results. The storage stability of formulations containing one or more polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymers (a3) ​​was also very good.

[0107] Particularly suitable film-forming, hydrophilic polymers in this context are vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl ester copolymers, such as those sold under the trademark Luviskol ® (BASF). Luviskol ® VA 64 and Luviskol ® VA 73, each vinylpyrrolidone / vinyl acetate copolymers, are particularly preferred nonionic polymers.

[0108] Of the vinylpyrrolidone-containing copolymers, a styrene / VP copolymer and / or a vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer and / or a VP / DMAPA acrylates copolymer and / or a VP / vinyl caprolactam / DMAPA acrylates copolymer are very particularly preferably used in the cosmetic compositions.

[0109] Vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymers are marketed under the name Luviskol®< VA by BASF SE. A VP / Vinyl Caprolactam / DMAPA Acrylates copolymer, for example, is marketed under the trade name Aquaflex®< SF-40 by Ashland Inc. A VP / DMAPA Acrylates copolymer, for example, is marketed under the name Styleze CC-10 by Ashland and is a highly preferred vinylpyrrolidone-containing copolymer.

[0110] Other suitable copolymers of polyvinylpyrrolidone (c) which may also be mentioned are the copolymers obtained by reacting N-vinylpyrrolidone with at least one further monomer from the group consisting of N-vinylformamide, vinyl acetate, ethylene, propylene, acrylamide, vinylcaprolactam, vinylcaprolactone and / or vinyl alcohol.

[0111] In a further very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the agent (a) contains at least one film-forming polymer (a3) ​​which is selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), vinylpyrrolidone / vinyl acetate copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone / styrene copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone / ethylene copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone / propylene copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone / vinylcaprolactam copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone / vinylformamide copolymers and / or vinylpyrrolidone / vinyl alcohol copolymers, explicitly very particularly preferably polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).

[0113] Furthermore, intensively colored keratin material, especially hair, with very good wash fastness could be obtained when a non-ionic, film-forming, hydrophilic polymer was used as the film-forming, hydrophilic polymer.

[0114] In a very particularly preferred embodiment, an agent (a) according to the invention is characterized in that it contains at least one non-ionic, film-forming, hydrophilic polymer (a3).

[0115] For the purposes of the invention, a nonionic polymer is defined as a polymer that, in a protic solvent—such as water—under standard conditions, does not contain structural units with permanently cationic or anionic groups that must be compensated by counterions while maintaining electroneutrality. Cationic groups include, for example, quaternized ammonium groups but not protonated amines. Anionic groups include, for example, carboxyl and sulfonic acid groups.

[0116] The agents are particularly preferred which contain as non-ionic, film-forming, hydrophilic polymer at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of Polyvinylpyrrolidone, copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl esters of carboxylic acids having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, in particular of N-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate, copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and N-vinylimidazole and methacrylamide, copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and N-vinylimidazole and acrylamide, copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone with N,N-di(C 1 to C 4 )-alkylamino-(C 2 to C 4 )-alkylacrylamide.

[0123] Polyquaternium-46 is the reaction product of vinylcaprolactam and vinylpyrrolidone with methylvinylimidazolium methosulfate and is available, for example, under the name Luviquat® Hold from BASF SE. Polyquaternium-46 is preferably used in an amount of 1 to 5 wt.%, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition. It is particularly preferred that Polyquaternium-46 be used in combination with a cationic guar compound. It is even more preferred that Polyquaternium-46 be used in combination with a cationic guar compound and Polyquaternium-11.

[0124] Suitable anionic film-forming, hydrophilic polymers include acrylic acid polymers, which can be used in uncrosslinked or crosslinked form.

[0130] Another preferred polymer of this type is the cross-linked poly-2-acrylamido-2methyl-propanesulphonic acid polymer, which is partially neutralised with ammonia and is sold by Clamant under the trade name Hostacerin AMPS.

[0131] The film-forming polymer(s) (a3) ​​according to the invention are preferably used in specific quantity ranges in the agent according to the invention. In this context, it has proven particularly preferred for achieving the object of the invention if the agent (a) contains one or more film-forming polymers (a3) ​​in a total amount of 0.1 to 25.0 wt. %, preferably 0.2 to 20.0 wt. %, more preferably 0.5 to 15.0 wt. %, and most preferably 1.0 to 7.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the agent (a). pH value of the agent (a)

[0132] The colorant (a) is preferably adjusted to a neutral to alkaline pH. The colorant (a) is most preferably adjusted to an alkaline pH. Under basic conditions, the amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) can be dissolved or dispersed particularly well and without protonation.

[0133] To adjust the desired pH, agent (a) preferably contains at least one alkalizing agent. The pH values ​​within the meaning of the present invention are pH values ​​measured at a temperature of 22°C.

[0134] As alkalizing agents, agent (a) may contain, for example, ammonia, alkanolamines and / or basic amino acids.

[0135] The alkanolamines usable in the agent according to the invention are preferably selected from primary amines having a C 2 -C 6 alkyl parent structure carrying at least one hydroxyl group. Preferred alkanolamines are selected from the group consisting of 2-aminoethan-1-ol (monoethanolamine), 3-aminopropan-1-ol, 4-aminobutan-1-ol, 5-aminopentan-1-ol, 1-aminopropan-2-ol, 1-aminobutan-2-ol, 1-aminopentan-2-ol, 1-aminopentan-3-ol, 1-aminopentan-4-ol, 3-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol, 1-amino-2-methylpropan-2-ol, 3-aminopropan-1,2-diol, and 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1,3-diol.

[0136] Particularly preferred alkanolamines according to the invention are selected from 2-aminoethane-1-ol and / or 2-amino-2-methylpropane-1-ol. A particularly preferred embodiment is therefore characterized in that the agent according to the invention contains an alkanolamine selected from 2-aminoethane-1-ol and / or 2-amino-2-methylpropane-1-ol as an alkalizing agent.

[0137] An amino acid within the meaning of the invention is an organic compound that contains at least one protonatable amino group and at least one -COOH or -SO 3 H group in its structure. Preferred amino acids are aminocarboxylic acids, in particular α-(alpha)-aminocarboxylic acids and ω-aminocarboxylic acids, with α-aminocarboxylic acids being particularly preferred.

[0138] According to the invention, basic amino acids are understood to be amino acids which have an isoelectric point pl of greater than 7.0.

[0139] Basic α-aminocarboxylic acids contain at least one asymmetric carbon atom. Within the scope of the present invention, both possible enantiomers can be used equally as specific compounds or as mixtures thereof, particularly as racemates. However, it is particularly advantageous to use the naturally occurring isomer form, usually in the L-configuration.

[0140] The basic amino acids are preferably selected from the group consisting of arginine, lysine, ornithine, and histidine, particularly preferably arginine and lysine. In another particularly preferred embodiment, an agent according to the invention is characterized in that the alkalizing agent is a basic amino acid from the group consisting of arginine, lysine, ornithine, and / or histidine.

[0141] In addition, the agent may contain other alkalizing agents, particularly inorganic alkalizing agents. Inorganic alkalizing agents usable according to the invention are preferably selected from the group consisting of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, potassium silicate, sodium carbonate, and potassium carbonate.

[0142] Very particularly preferred alkalizing agents are ammonia, 2-aminoethan-1-ol (monoethanolamine), 3-aminopropan-1-ol, 4-aminobutan-1-ol, 5-aminopentan-1-ol, 1-aminopropan-2-ol, 1-aminobutan-2-ol, 1-aminopentan-2-ol, 1-aminopentan-3-ol, 1-aminopentan-4-ol, 3-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol, 1-amino-2-methylpropan-2-ol, 3-aminopropan-1,2-diol, 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1,3-diol, arginine, lysine, ornithine, histidine, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, potassium silicate, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate.

[0143] In a further very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the coloring agent (a) comprises at least one alkalizing agent from the group consisting of ammonia, 2-aminoethan-1-ol (monoethanolamine), 3-aminopropan-1-ol, 4-aminobutan-1-ol, 5-aminopentan-1-ol, 1-aminopropan-2-ol, 1-aminobutan-2-ol, 1-aminopentan-2-ol, 1-aminopentan-3-ol, 1-aminopentan-4-ol, 3-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol, 1-amino-2-methylpropan-2-ol, 3-aminopropan-1,2-diol, 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1,3-diol, arginine, lysine, ornithine, histidine, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, Contains sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, potassium silicate, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate.

[0144] Particularly good results were obtained when the agent (a) was adjusted to a pH of 7.0 to 11.5, preferably 8.0 to 11.0, and particularly preferably 8.5 to 10.5.

[0145] In a further very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the agent (a) contains water and has a pH of 7.0 to 11.5, preferably of 8.0 to 11.0, and particularly preferably of 8.5 to 10.5. Acidity (b1) in the mean (b)

[0146] Following the application of the coloring agent (a) to the keratin material, the after-treatment agent (b) is applied. The after-treatment agent (b) is an acidic solution, dispersion, or emulsion. Therefore, the after-treatment agent (b) contains water and at least one acid (b1) as essential ingredients for the invention and has a pH value of 1.5 to 5.5.

[0147] Certain acids have proven particularly suitable for adjusting the desired pH value. These acids can be selected, for example, from the group consisting of citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, methanesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, malonic acid, oxalic acid, 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and phosphoric acid.

[0148] In a further very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the agent (b) contains at least one acid (b1) which is selected from the group consisting of citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, methanesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, malonic acid, oxalic acid, 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid.

[0149] As soon as the after-treatment agent (b) is applied, it comes into contact with the aminosilicones (a1) and color-imparting compounds (a2) deposited on the keratin material. Since the agent (b) is acidic, it also lowers the pH in the immediate vicinity of the aminosilicone (a1). In this context, it is assumed that the reduction in pH causes protonation of the aminosilicone (a1), which subsequently further strengthens the adhesive forces to the keratin material and binds the color-imparting compounds (a2) even more tightly to the hair. This massively improves the washfastness of the resulting color. For this reason, the after-treatment agent (b) is adjusted to an acidic pH in the range of 1.5 to 5.5, preferably from 2.0 to 4.8, and particularly preferably from 2.5 to 4.5.

[0150] In a further very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the agent (b) contains water and has a pH of 2.0 to 4.8, and preferably of 2.5 to 4.5.

[0151] In the work leading to this invention, the choice of the time at which the pH value is lowered has proven crucial for the creation of stable layers on the keratin material. It is essential to the invention that the pH value of the aminosilicone (a1) is lowered after it has been applied to the keratin fiber. When aminosilicone (a1) and acid are applied simultaneously, no significant strengthening of the bond to the keratin occurs. For this reason, it is essential to the invention to incorporate the acid (b1) into the aftertreatment agent (b).

[0152] It was found that the improvement in washfastness is greater the more the pH in the environment of the aminosilicone (a1) is lowered. In other words, the dyeings were particularly fast when the dyeing agent (a) was comparatively strongly alkaline and the aftertreatment agent (b) had a relatively acidic pH. film-forming polymer (b2) in the medium (b)

[0153] In the process according to the invention, at least one of the agents (a) and / or (b) used in the process contains a film-forming polymer. If the film-forming polymer is present in the post-treatment agent (b), this is referred to as (b2).

[0167] The film-forming polymer(s) are preferably used in specific amounts in the aftertreatment agent (b). In this context, it has proven particularly preferred for achieving the object of the invention if the agent (b) contains one or more polymers in a total amount of 0.1 to 25.0 wt. %, preferably 0.2 to 20.0 wt. %, more preferably 0.5 to 15.0 wt. %, and most preferably 1.0 to 7.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the agent (b). Other ingredients in products (a) and (b)

[0168] The agents (a) and (b) described above may also contain one or more optional ingredients.

[0169] The agents may also contain one or more surfactants. Surfactants are surface-active substances. A distinction is made between anionic surfactants consisting of a hydrophobic residue and a negatively charged hydrophilic head group; amphoteric surfactants, which carry both a negative and a compensating positive charge; cationic surfactants, which have a hydrophobic residue and a positively charged hydrophilic group; and nonionic surfactants, which have no charges but strong dipole moments and are highly hydrated in aqueous solution.

[0170] Zwitterionic surfactants are surface-active compounds that contain at least one quaternary ammonium group and at least one -COO(-)<- or -SO3(-)<- group in the molecule. Particularly suitable zwitterionic surfactants are the so-called betaines such as N-alkyl-N,N-dimethylammonium glycinates, for example cocoalkyl dimethylammonium glycinate, N-acyl-aminopropyl-N,N-dimethylammonium glycinates, for example cocoacylaminopropyl dimethylammonium glycinate, and 2-alkyl-3-carboxymethyl-3-hydroxyethyl-imidazolines, each with 8 to 18 C atoms in the alkyl or acyl group, as well as cocoacylaminoethyl hydroxyethylcarboxymethylglycinate.

[0174] Furthermore, the agents can also contain at least one cationic surfactant. Cationic surfactants are surfactants, i.e. surface-active compounds, each with one or more positive charges. Cationic surfactants contain exclusively positive charges. These surfactants are usually composed of a hydrophobic part and a hydrophilic head group, with the hydrophobic part usually consisting of a hydrocarbon backbone (e.g., consisting of one or two linear or branched alkyl chains), and the positive charge(s) are located in the hydrophilic head group. Examples of cationic surfactants are quaternary ammonium compounds which may carry one or two alkyl chains with a chain length of 8 to 28 C atoms as hydrophobic residues, quaternary phosphonium salts substituted with one or more alkyl chains with a chain length of 8 to 28 C atoms or tertiary sulfonium salts.

[0175] Furthermore, the cationic charge can also be part of a heterocyclic ring (e.g., an imidazolium ring or a pyridinium ring) in the form of an onium structure. In addition to the functional unit carrying the cationic charge, the cationic surfactant can also contain other uncharged functional groups, as is the case with esterquats, for example. The cationic surfactants are used in a total amount of 0.1 to 45 wt.%, preferably 1 to 30 wt.%, and most preferably 1 to 15 wt.%, based on the total weight of the respective agent.

[0176] Furthermore, the agents according to the invention can also contain at least one anionic surfactant.

[0179] The expert will select these additional substances based on the desired properties of the agent. Regarding further optional components and the amounts of these components used, reference is expressly made to the relevant manuals known to the expert. The additional active ingredients and excipients are preferably used in the preparations according to the invention in amounts of 0.0001 to 25 wt.%, in particular 0.0005 to 15 wt.%, based on the total weight of the respective agent. Process for coloring keratin materials

[0180] In the process according to the invention, agents (a) and (b) are applied to the keratin materials, in particular to human hair. Agent (b) represents a post-treatment agent and is therefore applied after the coloring agent (a).

[0181] Agents (a) and (b) are applied within one and the same dyeing process, which means that there is a maximum period of a few hours between the application of agents (a) and (b).

[0182] The method according to the invention is characterized in that agent (a) is applied first, and then agent (b) is applied, wherein the period between the application of agents (a) and (b) is a maximum of 24 hours, preferably a maximum of 12 hours and particularly preferably a maximum of 6 hours.

[0183] In the process according to the invention, the keratin materials, in particular human hair, are first treated with coloring agent (a). Subsequently, the aftertreatment agent (b) is applied to the keratin materials, which lowers the pH on the surface of the keratin material and thus fixes or immobilizes the active ingredients contained in agent (a) on the keratin. Preferably, agent (b) itself contains no dyes or color-imparting compounds.

[0184] The application properties of the resulting dyeing can be further improved by selecting the optimal process conditions.

[0185] Within the scope of a further embodiment, a method comprising the following steps in the given order is particularly preferred (1) applying the coloring agent (a) to the keratinic material, (2) allowing the agent (a) to act for a period of 10 seconds to 10 minutes, preferably from 10 seconds to 5 minutes, (3) optionally rinsing the keratinic material with water, (4) applying the after-treatment agent (b) to the keratinic material, (5) allowing the agent (b) to act for a period of 30 seconds to 30 minutes, preferably from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, and (6) rinsing the keratinic material with water.

[0186] According to the invention, rinsing the keratin material with water in steps (3) and (6) of the method means that only water is used for the rinsing process, without any further agents other than agents (a) and (b) being used.

[0187] In a step (1), the agent (a) is first applied to the keratin materials, in particular the human hair.

[0188] After application, agent (a) is allowed to act on the keratin materials. The process according to the invention allows the creation of colorations with particularly good intensity and washfastness, even with a short contact time for agent (a). In this context, contact times of 10 seconds to 10 minutes, preferably 20 seconds to 5 minutes, and most preferably 30 seconds to 2 minutes on the hair have proven particularly advantageous.

[0189] In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the agent (a) can now be rinsed out of the keratin materials before the agent (b) is applied to the hair in the subsequent step.

[0190] Dyes with equally good wash fastness were obtained when agent (b) was applied to the keratin materials which were still treated with agent (a).

[0191] In step (4), product (b) is applied to the keratin materials. After application, product (b) is allowed to work on the hair.

[0192] The process according to the invention allows the creation of colorations with particularly good intensity and washfastness even with a short contact time of the agent (b). Contact times of 10 seconds to 10 minutes, preferably 20 seconds to 5 minutes, and most preferably 30 seconds to 3 minutes on the hair have proven particularly advantageous.

[0193] In step (6), the agent (b) (and any remaining agent (a)) is rinsed out of the keratin material with water.

[0194] Within the scope of a further embodiment, a method comprising the following steps in the order given is particularly preferred (1) applying the agent (a) to the keratinic material, (2) allowing the agent (a) to act for a period of 10 seconds to 10 minutes, preferably from 10 seconds to 5 minutes, (3) not rinsing (4) applying the agent (b) to the keratinic material, (5) allowing the agent (b) to act for a period of 30 seconds to 30 minutes, preferably from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, and (6) rinsing the keratinic material with water.

[0195] In this embodiment, the sequence of steps (1) to (6) takes place within 24 hours.
