Description

Title of the invention: COMPOSITIONS FOR GIVING COLOUR AND TONE TO HAIR technical field

[0001] This disclosure generally relates to compositions comprising 2-methoxymethyl-P-phenylenediamine, an oxidative dye precursor or a base dye, and processes for imparting color and / or shade to hair. CONTEXT

[0002] It is known that consumers wish to use cosmetic and care compositions that improve the appearance of keratinous substrates such as hair, for example, by changing the color, style and / or shape of the hair, and / or by imparting various properties to the hair, such as shine and revitalization. Many of the compositions and processes known to enhance the appearance of hair involve chemical treatment of the hair.

[0003] The process of modifying hair color, for example, may involve depositing an artificial color onto the hair, thereby imparting a different shade or color to the hair, and / or enhancing the hair color, such as lightening dark hair to lighter shades. The hair color enhancement process, also known as lightening, generally requires the use of compositions that include at least one oxidizing agent.

[0004] Hair color lightening or enhancement is generally assessed by the change in tone level before and after the application of a hair color toning composition to the hair. This change corresponds to the degree or level of lightening or enhancement. The concept of "tone" is based on the classification of natural shades, with one tone separating each shade from the shade that follows or precedes it, a system well known to hairdressing professionals. Tone levels range from 1 (black) to 10 (light blonde), with one unit corresponding to one tone; thus, the higher the number, the lighter the shade or the greater the degree of enhancement.

[0005] In general, hair lightening or color-enhancing compositions and hair dye compositions have an alkalinity such that these compositions have a pH value greater than 7, typically greater than or equal to 9, and generally require the presence of ammonia or an ammonia gas-generating compound and / or an amine or ammonium-based compound. Sufficient quantities are required to make these compositions alkaline. The alkalizing agent causes the hair shaft to swell, allowing small molecules of oxidative dye to penetrate the cuticle and cortex before the oxidation condensation process is complete. The larger color complexes resulting from the oxidative reaction are then trapped inside the hair fiber, thus permanently altering the hair color. While this process is effective at changing hair color, these chemical treatments can damage the hair fibers, reducing hair strength and negatively affecting the sensory properties of the hair, such as smoothness, shine, and feel.Therefore, in order to reduce or avoid these drawbacks, the use of new and additional treatment components and compositions for use before, during, after, or as a complement to hair color modification processes is necessary.

[0006] However, the choice of such components or treatments could pose difficulties insofar as they must not impair other cosmetic attributes such as ease and uniformity of application, rheological or viscosity properties and the stability of the compositions, color deposition and the formation of the target shade, and / or cause further disadvantages such as increased damage or a less healthy appearance of the hair. It would therefore be desirable to offer consumers compositions and processes that allow for the treatment of hair, for example, by enhancing hair color and / or depositing color on the hair effectively, while also providing other cosmetic benefits such as shine, revitalization, fiber strength and / or a healthy appearance of the hair, but while avoiding or minimizing damage to the hair.

[0007] Most types of hair coloring compositions for permanently coloring hair are oxidative hair coloring compositions that use two parts. The first part is a hair coloring base composition that contains oxidative dye precursors (sometimes called "oxidative dyes") and couplers, which interact with the oxidative dye precursors. The second part is a developer composition containing an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide. The two parts are mixed immediately before use, forming a ready-to-use hair coloring composition that activates the composition for coloring hair. Thus, ready-to-use hair coloring compositions can be called "active hair coloring compositions."The precursors of oxidative dyes and the oxidizing agents in active hair coloring compositions diffuse into the hair shaft, where color formation occurs through a cascade of chemical reactions. The precursors of oxidative dyes... are oxidized by oxidizing agents and form reactive intermediates. The couplers, which are relatively stable against oxidizing agents, react with the intermediates, resulting in brightly colored molecules. SUMMARY

[0008] The hair coloring or tinting compositions of the present case include 2-methoxymethyl-P-phenylenediamine, an important oxidative dye precursor, and at least one coupler.

[0009] The hair coloring or shading composition is combined with a developer composition to obtain a ready-to-use shading and coloring composition having a relatively low pH, below 9. These unique hair coloring or shading compositions give hair surprisingly long-lasting and vivid colors as well as an excellent shading and unexpected neutralizing effect.

[0011] The disclosure also relates to processes for modifying the tone or color of hair, the processes comprising 1) mixing (i) a hair-tinting composition comprising (a) 2-methoxymethyl-p-phenylenediamine, and optionally one or more additional oxidative dye precursors, (b) one or more couplers, (c) a surfactant mixture comprising (i) at least one amphoteric surfactant and (ii) at least one surfactant selected from anionic and nonionic surfactants, (e) at least one fatty compound, (g) at least one solvent; wherein the composition has a pH ranging from about 7 to about 10.4; 2) obtaining a developer composition comprising: (a) one or more oxidizing agents; and (b) water;3) mixing the hair coloring base composition and the developer composition in a weight ratio of approximately 1:5 to approximately 5:1 to form a ready-to-use hair coloring composition having a pH of approximately 6 to approximately 8; 4) applying the ready-to-use hair coloring composition to the hair; 5) allowing the ready-to-use hair coloring composition to remain on the hair for a period of time, the period of time being less than 30 minutes; and 6) after the period of time has elapsed, rinsing the ready-to-use hair coloring composition to remove it from the hair.

[0136] The hair coloring base compositions of formulas 1 to 7 of Example 1 and the hair coloring base compositions of formulas a to f of Example 2 were mixed with the developer composition of Example 3 in a 1:1 ratio to form ready-to-use hair coloring compositions. The hair coloring base compositions are identical, except for the base dyes and couplers.

[0137] The mixtures were applied to commercially available sample strands. The mixtures were allowed to remain on the hair of the strands (to be treated) for 20 minutes before being rinsed from the hair with water. Figure 1 showed different color tones when different base dyes were used. The results clearly and surprisingly demonstrated that 2-methoxymethyl-p-phenylenediamine produced more vivid colors compared to other base dyes such as toluene-2,5-diamine and thioglycerin. EXAMPLE 5

[0139] The hair coloring base compositions of Formulas 1 to 6 of Example 1 were mixed with the developer composition of Example 3 in a 1:1 ratio to form ready-to-use hair coloring compositions. The hair coloring base compositions are identical, except for the couplers.

[0140] The mixtures were applied to commercially available sample strands. The mixtures were allowed to remain on the hair of the strands (to be treated) for 20 minutes before being rinsed from the hair with water. The hair strands were then washed with a standard sulfate-based hair cleansing composition. The washing and drying procedure was repeated for numerous cycles; that is, the hair strands were washed with the standard sulfate-based hair cleansing composition and then dried 28 consecutive times. Color images were taken of the strands before application, after the initial treatment with the ready-to-use hair coloring compositions, and after 5, 10, 15, 20, and 28 washes.

[0141] As illustrated in [Fig.2], all the compositions tested showed good color retention after 28 washes. EXAMPLE 6

[0143] The hair coloring base compositions of inventive formulas 2 and 8 and comparative formulas g and h in Table 4 below were mixed with the developer composition of Example 3 in a 1:1 ratio to form ready-to-use hair coloring compositions. The hair coloring base compositions are identical to the inventive formulas of Example 1 and the comparative formulas of Example 2, except for the base dyes and couplers. In each of the four formulas, the molar ratio of base dye to coupler(s) was approximately 1:1, and the concentration of the dyes and couplers was adjusted to obtain a similar initial color deposit.

[0150] The mixtures were applied to commercially available sample strands. The mixtures were allowed to remain on the hair of the strands (to be treated) for 20 minutes before being rinsed with water. The hair strands were then washed with a standard sulfate-based hair cleansing solution. The washing and drying procedure was repeated for numerous cycles; specifically, the hair strands were washed with the standard sulfate-based hair cleansing solution and then dried 28 consecutive times. Color images and color changes were taken of the strands before application, after the initial treatment with the ready-to-use hair coloring solutions, and after 5, 10, 15, 20, and 28 washes. Color retention on hair strands was assessed as a function of washing using CIE coordinates L*a*b*. AE represents a color difference, where a higher AE value represents increased color fading or reduced color retention. AE is defined by the following equation: [Math.l] &E = (b* where L*, a* and b* represent the values ​​measured after a treatment, and L0*, aO* and bO* represent the values ​​measured before a treatment(s). As illustrated in [Fig.3], the test compositions of the inventive formulas exhibited significantly greater color retention than the comparative formulas.

[0151] The hair coloring base compositions of inventive formulas 9 and 10, and comparative formulas i and j of Table 5 below, were mixed with the developer composition of Example 3 in a 1:1 ratio to form ready-to-use hair coloring compositions. The hair coloring base compositions of Table 5 are identical to the inventive formulas of Example 1 and the comparative formulas of Example 2, except for the base dyes and couplers. In each of the four formulas, the molar ratio of base dye to coupler(s) was approximately 1:1.

[0153] The mixtures were applied to commercially available sample strands. The mixtures were allowed to remain on the hair of the strands (to be treated) for 20 minutes before being rinsed from the hair with water. The hair strands were then washed with a standard sulfate-based hair cleansing composition. The washing and drying procedure was repeated for numerous cycles; that is, the hair strands were washed with the standard sulfate-based hair cleansing composition and then dried 30 consecutive times. Color images, delta E, and delta B values ​​of the strands were measured before application, after the initial treatment with the ready-to-use hair coloring compositions, and after 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 washes.

[0154] The delta B value represents the color change from blue to yellow, i.e., Ab* = b* - b0* as described in Example 6. The higher the delta B value, the greater the yellowing. A lower delta B value means more neutralization.

[0155] As shown in [Fig.4] and [Fig.5], the inventive formulas under test exhibit both a lower delta B and a lower delta E after 30 washes compared to the comparative formulas. Definitions

[0156] The term “hair and / or body hair” as used herein includes head hair, beard hair, moustache hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and body hair, unless otherwise specified.

[0157] As used herein, the terms "comprising", "having" and "including" are used in their broad and non-limiting sense.

[0158] A "hair colouring base composition" as used herein is a hair colouring composition containing one or more oxidative dye precursors and is mixed with a developer composition to form a ready-to-use hair colouring composition.

[0159] 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.

[0160] A "ready-to-use hair colouring 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 colouring base composition with a developer composition.

[0161] 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, for example, for aesthetic purposes. It is not included to color the hair. Hair gels, for example, may come in a variety of different colors (e.g., light blue, light pink, etc.), but applying the hair gel to the hair does not change the hair color.

[0162] The expression "one or more" means "at least one" and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0163] Except in operational examples, or unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and / or reaction conditions may in all cases be modified by the term "approximately", meaning to within + / - 5% the number indicated.

[0164] Some of the various identified component categories may overlap. In cases where an overlap may exist and the composition includes both components (or the composition includes more than two overlapping components), an overlapping component does not represent more than one component. For example, a fatty acid may be considered both an emulsifier and a fatty compound. If a particular composition includes both an emulsifier and a fatty compound, a single fatty acid will serve only as an emulsifier or only as a fatty compound (the single fatty acid does not serve as both an emulsifier and a fatty compound).

[0165] The salts referred to throughout the disclosure may include salts containing a counterion such as an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or an ammonium counterion. This list of counterions is not exhaustive.

[0166] The term "treat" (and its grammatical variations) is used here to refer to the application of the compositions of this disclosure to the surface of keratinous substrates such as hair. The term "treat" (and its grammatical variations) is also used here to refer to the contacting of keratinous substrates such as hair with the compositions of this disclosure.

[0167] 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. Thus, a range from 1 to 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 in this document that falls within a range described in this document can serve as a minimum or maximum value to derive a subrange, etc.

[0168] All components positively presented in this disclosure may be negatively excluded from the claims; for example, a claimed composition may be "free," "substantially free" (or "substantially free") of one or more components that are positively presented in this disclosure. By way of example, silicones may optionally be included in the compositions, but preferably the compositions are free or substantially free of silicones. Silicones are synthetic polymers consisting of repeating units of elemental siloxane, silicon, and oxygen, combined with other elements, most often carbon and hydrogen. Silicones are therefore also called polysiloxanes.

[0169] The expression "substantially free" or "essentially free" as used in this document means that less than about 2% by weight of a specific material is added to a composition, relative to the total weight of the compositions. However, the compositions may include less than about 1% by weight, less of about 0.5% by weight, less than about 0.1% by weight, or none of the specified material. All components shown in this document may optionally be included or excluded from the compositions / processes / requirements. When excluded, the compositions / processes / requirements may be free or substantially free of the component. For example, a particular composition may be free or substantially free of alkoxylated compounds, such as ethoxylated thickeners and / or ethoxylated surfactants. Similarly, a particular composition may be free or substantially free of sulfates, such as sulfate surfactants.
