Description

Title of the invention: Hair coloring compositions and methods SCOPE OF DISCLOSURE

[0001] The present disclosure relates to hair coloring compositions including direct dyes, methods of coloring hair, and methods of making the hair coloring compositions. ABSTRACT

[0002] There are different hair coloring processes, depending on whether the color change is to be permanent, semi-permanent, or temporary. Oxidative coloring procedures typically offer the most lasting color change, but they can be complex and involve "chemical treatment" 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.

[0003] The hair coloring compositions of the present disclosure are unique because they allow for a lasting change in hair color without requiring chemical processing or complicated mixing and application procedures. For example, a consumer can 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, giving it a soft, moisturized, and shiny look and feel. This distinguishes the coloring compositions from other hair coloring compositions commonly used for coloring hair that can damage and dry out the hair.

[0004] The hair coloring compositions of the present disclosure include:

[0005] (a) aloe barbadensis leaf juice;

[0006] (b) one or more polyether-modified polysiloxanes;

[0007] (c) one or more non-ionic non-silicone surfactants chosen from the compounds alkoxylated;

[0008] (d) one or more cationic surfactants;

[0009] (e) optionally, one or more water-soluble organic solvents;

[0010] (f) one or more direct dyes; and

[0011] (g) water.

[0012] In various embodiments, the hair coloring compositions are a homogeneous single-phase liquid. In other embodiments, the hair coloring composition is an emulsion or a dispersion.

[0013] The hair coloring compositions can be easily applied to the hair, for example, by spraying the composition onto the hair.

[0018] Non-limiting examples of direct dyes include nitrophenylenediamines, nitroaminophenols, azo dyes, anthraquinones, triarylmethane dyes, indophenols, and a combination thereof. The direct dyes may be cationic, anionic, neutral, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, it is preferable to include at least one cationic direct dye.

[0019] In some embodiments, the hair coloring composition includes one or more various ingredients. Non-limiting examples of various ingredients include antioxidants, pH adjusters, salts, fragrances, preservatives, botanical extracts, chelating agents, vitamins, amino acids, cosmetic colorants and their mixtures.

[0020] In some embodiments, the hair coloring composition is free or essentially free of one or more components. For example, in various embodiments, the hair coloring composition is free or essentially free of amino silicones, e.g., amodimethicone. In various embodiments, the hair coloring composition is free or essentially free of polyorganosiloxanes other than the polyether-modified polysiloxanes of (c). In various embodiments, the hair coloring composition is free or essentially free of oxidative dye precursors.

[0021] 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 may be applied to dry hair, wet hair, or damp hair. Further, the hair coloring composition may be left on the hair indefinitely without washing the hair or may be left on the hair for a minimum threshold time before rinsing or washing the hair coloring compositions out. 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. Brief description of the drawings

[0035] wherein all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the hair coloring composition.

[0036] In various embodiments, the hair coloring compositions are a homogeneous single-phase liquid. In other embodiments, the coloring compositions are emulsions or dispersions. In any event, the compositions can be readily applied to the hair, for example, by spraying them onto the hair.

[0037] (a) Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) leaf juice

[0038] The coloring 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 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 various terms used interchangeably, such as inner pulp, mucilaginous tissue, mucilaginous jelly, inner jelly, and tissue of the leaf parenchyma. 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 within the parenchyma cells.

[0039] For the purposes of the present disclosure, the term "aloe barbadensis leaf juice" means 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.

[0040] 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% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.In other embodiments, the total amount of barbadensis leaf juice is about 1 to about 20 wt%, about 1 to about 15 wt%, about 1 to about 12 wt%, about 2 to about 25 wt%, about 2 to about 20 wt%, about 2 to about 15 wt%, about 2 to about 12 wt%, about 5 to about 25 wt%, about 5 to about 20 wt%, about 5 to about 15 wt%, about 5 to about 12 wt%, about 8 to about 20 wt%, about 8 to about 15 wt%, or about 8 to about 12 wt%, based on the total weight of the composition, (b) Polyether-Modified Polysiloxanes.

[0067] The non-silicone nonionic surfactants may comprise an average of 2 to 100 moles of alkylene oxide per mole of non-ionic surfactant. This figure is referred to herein as the alkoxylation number (of the non-silicone nonionic 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 non-ionic surfactants include surfactants of the general formula: RY-(C2H4O)Z-C2H4OH wherein R is selected from the group consisting of primary, secondary and branched chain alkyl and / or acyl hydrocarbyl groups; 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 from 8 to about 25, preferably from 10 to 20, for example from 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. .

[0068] In the general formula of the ethoxylated nonionic surfactant, Y is typically: -O-, -C(O)O-, -C(O)N(R)-, or -C(O)N(R)R-; where R has the meaning given above or may be hydrogen; and Z is at least 1, preferably 10 to 100, 10 to 80, or 10-60.

However, in various embodiments, the total amount of the one or more direct dyes in the composition is from about 0.0001 to about 5% by weight based on the total weight of the developer composition.In other embodiments, the total amount of the one or more direct dyes comprising at least one halogenated aromatic ring in the developer composition is from about 0.0001 to about 4 wt. %, from about 0.0001 to about 3 wt. %, from about 0.0001 to about 2 wt. %, from about 0.0001 to about 1 wt. %, from about 0.0001 to about 0.5 wt. %, from about 0.0005 to about 4 wt. %, from about 0.0005 to about 3 wt. %, from about 0.0005 to about 2 wt. %, from about 0.0005 to about 1 wt. %, from about 0.0005 to about 0.5 wt. %, from about 0.001 to about 5 wt. %, from about 0.001 to about 4 wt. %, from about 0.001 to about 3 ... % by weight, about 0.001 to about 2% by weight, about 0.001 to about 1% by weight. weight, about 0.010 to about 0.5 wt. %, about 0.1 to about 4 wt. %, about 0.1 to about 4 wt. %, about 0.1 to about 3 wt. %, about 0.1 to about 2 wt. %, or about 0.1 to about 1 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition. (g) Water

[0153] For purposes of this disclosure, the amount of water referred to herein is all of the water in the composition, excluding the water present in the aloe barbadensis leaf juice. Aloe barbadensis leaf juice naturally includes water, which is part of the 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 about 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" referred to throughout the disclosure. The amount of water (i.e., the total amount of water other than the water present in the 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 the water present in the aloe barbadensis leaf juice) is from about 60 to about 92% by weight, based on 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 to about 92 wt. %, about 70 to about 92 wt. %, about 75 to about 92 wt. %, about 80 to about 92 wt. %, about 60 to about 90 wt. %, about 65 to about 90 wt. %, about 70 to about 90 wt. %, about 75 to about 90 wt. %, about 80 to about 90 wt. %, about 60 to about 85 wt. %, about 65 to about 85 wt. %, about 70 to about 85 wt. %, about 75 to about 85 wt. %, or about 80 to about 85 wt. % weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. (h) Miscellaneous ingredients

[0154] 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 novel properties of the compositions. Non-limiting examples of ingredients include preservatives, fragrances, pH adjusters, salts, chelating agents, buffers, antioxidants, flavonoids, vitamins, botanical extracts, UV filtering agents, proteins, hydrolysates and / or protein isolates, fillers (e.g., organic and / or inorganic fillers such as talc, calcium carbonate, silica, etc.), composition colorants, cationic polymers, thickening agents, etc. In various embodiments, the various ingredients are selected from preservatives, fragrances, pH adjusters, salts, chelating agents, buffers, composition colorants, and mixtures thereof. In the context of the present disclosure, a "composition colorant" 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 impart coloring to the composition for aesthetic purposes but is not intended to impart coloring properties to the hair. Hair styling gels, for example, can come in a variety of different colors (e.g., light blue, light pink, etc.), but applying styling gel to the hair does not visibly change the hair color.

[0155] The total amount of the one or more miscellaneous ingredients, if present, will vary. However, in various embodiments, the compositions of the present disclosure include from about 0.001 to about 10% by weight of one or more miscellaneous ingredients, based on the total weight of the composition. In other embodiments, the compositions of the present disclosure include from about 0.001 to about 5% by weight, from about 0.001 to about 3% by weight, from about 0.01 to about 10% by weight, from about 0.01 to about 5% by weight, from about 0.01 to about 3% by weight, from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight, from about 0.1 to about 5% by weight, or from about 0.1 to about 3% by weight of one or more miscellaneous ingredients, based on the total weight of the composition.

[0275] 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 amounts. Comparative Compositions FJ 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 smaller amounts of amodimethicone were included. The reduced amount of amodimethicone was replaced with additional water. The stability of all compositions was assessed after 24 hours. All compositions were prepared and allowed to stand for 24 hours at room temperature (about 25°C). 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.

[0276] The inventors discovered that aloe barbadensis leaf juice could be incorporated into the compositions without destabilizing the compositions, in high amounts (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 provides important conditioning properties to the hair, for example, smoothing, anti-frizz and lightness characteristics. Example 3 (Washing study)

[0277] Inventive Composition D of Example 1 is included in the table below, which includes a combination of direct dyes that impart a bright red color to the 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 control.

[0278] 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 hydroxyethyl oleyl dimonium chloride was omitted from Comparative Composition C9.

[0280] In addition to the comparative compositions in the table above (C6-C9), a reference commercial product for hair coloring using direct dyes was obtained. The reference commercial product, like Inventive Composition D, imparts a bright red color to the hair. The ingredients listed on the product are shown below.

[0281] [Tableauxô] Comparative commercial reference product DISILOXANE METHYL TRIMETHICONE TRIETHOXYCAPRYLYLSILANE RED 33 LAKE RED 7 LAKE TRIMETHYLSILOXYSILICATE HYDROFLUOROCARBON 152A BUTANE

[0282] A wash study was conducted to determine the durability (longevity) provided by Inventive Composition D, Comparative Compositions C6-C9, and the commercial reference. The test was conducted using strands of 90% permed gray hair (GP), strands of 90% non-permed gray hair (NGP), and strands of 25% level 8 gray hair (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 amount of each tested composition 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 shown in [Fig.l]. The y-axis of the graph indicates the AE, which is the difference between the initial value of the hair color before coloring and the value of the color of the strands after coloring (without washing), based on the assessment of the L*, a* and b* values.

[0283] Hair color was assessed using L*, a*, and b* values. The L*a*b* color system is a color system that assigns each color a position in a spherical color space. In this color space, brightness is represented by a position in the ordinate 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 designated L*, and the L* value ranges from 0, corresponding to black, to 100, corresponding to white. The positive direction of the x-axis corresponds to a red direction, the positive direction of the y-axis corresponds to a yellow direction, the negative direction of the x-axis corresponds to a green direction, the negative direction of The y-axis corresponds to a blue direction, and the position on the x-axis is denoted by a* whose value ranges from -60 to +60 and the position on the y-axis is denoted by b* whose value ranges from -60 to +60. Hue and chroma are represented by the a* value and b* value, respectively. The higher the L* value, the lighter the hair color; the higher the a* value, the more the hue shifts toward red (i.e., the hair is redder); and the lower the b* value, the more the chroma value shifts toward blue. Delta-E (AE), calculated from the L*, a*, and b* values, represents the overall color change across the strands.

[0284] 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 assessed. The results after the 12th washing cycle are shown in [Fig.2]. The y-axis of the graph reports the AE, 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 washing cycles, based on the assessment of the L*, a* and b* values.

[0285] The results in [Fig. 2] show that the color of the commercial reference did not persist - all of the initial color was largely removed. The results of the commercial reference are similar to measurements taken on untreated strands of hair (uncolored strands of hair). In fact, the color of the commercial reference 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 demineralized water) retained significantly more color than comparative compositions C7-C9. The graph in [Fig. 2] shows that comparative composition C6 was slightly more colored than inventive composition D, but the slight difference is not statistically significant and therefore probably represents simple variation.Although Comparative Composition C6 provided high color durability, it lacked the wetting and moisturizing properties of Inventive Composition D. Hair treated with Comparative Composition C6 was drier and frizzier than hair treated with Inventive Composition D. In addition, Inventive Composition D includes PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, which functions as a mild cleanser. Despite the inclusion of mild cleansers, which can negatively impact color deposition, Inventive Composition D provided equivalent color deposition durability as Comparative Composition C6, which did not include a mild cleanser.

[0286] Inventive composition D performed significantly better than com Comparative positions C7-C9 with respect to color fastness (durability). The results of Comparative Composition C7 illustrate the influence of a polyether-modified polysiloxane (PEG-14 dimethicone) on the formulation. The results of 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. In addition, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, polyether-modified polysiloxane, and cationic surfactants provide benefits beyond simple 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 conditioning and softening properties.

[0287] The foregoing description illustrates and describes the invention. The disclosure shows and describes only the preferred embodiments, but it is to be understood that the invention may be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and may be subject to changes or modifications within the scope of the inventive concepts as expressed herein, based on the above teachings and / or the skill or knowledge of those skilled in the art. The embodiments described herein are further intended to explain the best modes known to the applicant and to enable others skilled in the art to utilize 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.

[0288] The term "hair" or "body hair" as used herein includes head hair, facial hair (including beard and mustache hair), eyebrows, eyelashes, and body hair, unless otherwise indicated.

[0289] In this document, the terms "comprising", "having" and "including" are used in their broad and non-limiting sense.

[0290] 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 coloring base composition to form a ready-to-use hair coloring composition.

[0291] A "hair coloring base composition" as used herein is a hair coloring composition containing one or more oxidative dye precursors and is mixed with a developer composition to form a ready-to-use hair coloring composition.

[0292] 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 base hair coloring composition with a developer composition.

[0293] A "composition colorant" is a compound that colors the composition but has no appreciable coloring effect on the hair. In other words, the composition colorant is included to impart color to the composition, e.g., for aesthetic appearance. It is not included to impart color to the hair. Hair styling gels, for example, can come 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 color of the hair.

[0294] The terms "a," "an," "the," and "the" are understood to encompass both 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 expression "a mixture thereof" does not require that the mixture include all of the elements A, B, C, D, E, and F (although all of the elements A, B, C, D, E, and F may be included). Rather, it indicates that a mixture of two or more of the 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".

[0295] Similarly, the phrase "a salt thereof" also refers to "salts thereof." Thus, when the disclosure refers to "a member selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt thereof, or a mixture thereof," it indicates that one 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.

[0296] The expression "one or more" means "at least one" and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0297] Some of the various categories of components identified may overlap. In such cases where an overlap may exist and the composition includes both components (or the composition includes more than two overlapping components), a 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).

[0298] 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 not, however, limiting.

[0299] The term "treat" (and its grammatical variations) as used herein refers to applying the compositions of the present disclosure to a keratinous substrate such as hair. The term "treat" (and its grammatical variations) as used herein also refers to contacting keratinous substrates such as hair with the compositions of the present disclosure.

[0300] In this document, all ranges provided are intended to include each specific range within the given ranges, as well as a combination of intermediate sub-ranges. Thus, a range of 1 to 5 specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as sub-ranges 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 serve as a minimum or maximum value to derive a sub-range, etc.

[0301] Any components positively presented 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 that are positively presented in the present disclosure. For example, silicones may optionally be included in the compositions but, preferably, the compositions are free or essentially free of silicones. Silicones are synthetic polymers consisting of repeating units of the elemental siloxane, silicon and oxygen, combined with other elements, most commonly carbon and hydrogen. Silicones are therefore also referred to as polysiloxanes.

[0302] The term "substantially free" or "essentially 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 material

[0303] specified. Any components shown herein may be optionally included in or excluded from the compositions / processes / kits. 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, e.g., ethoxylated thickeners and / or ethoxylated surfactants. Similarly, a particular composition may be free or essentially free of sulfates, such as sulfate surfactants.
