Description

Title of the invention: Composition and process for treating keratin fibers using at least one particular pyridine derivative and at least one unsaturated fatty acid. Technical field of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one particular pyridine derivative and at least one unsaturated fatty acid, as well as a process for treating keratin fibers using this composition. Context of the invention

[0002] External atmospheric agents such as pollution and inclement weather, as well as mechanical or chemical treatments, or certain routines such as brushing, combing, dyeing, bleaching, perming, straightening, and repeated washing, can damage and weaken hair. Hair can become deformed and damaged and, over time, become dry, rough, brittle, dull, split, and / or limp.

[0003] To remedy this, it is common to use hair care products designed to condition the hair by providing satisfactory cosmetic properties, including smoothing, shine, softness, suppleness, lightness, and good detangling properties, resulting in easier combing and better manageability. The hair is thus easier to style and retains its shape. However, the conditioning effect obtained with these hair care products diminishes rapidly over time, does not always remain effective after shampooing, and does not prevent irreversible hair deformation due to fiber elongation, for example, during combing or detangling, nor does it repair or prevent hair breakage.

[0004] It is known that pyridine derivatives such as pyridoxine or one of its salts can be used in hair care compositions intended to condition hair in order to maintain or even improve hair quality. However, these derivatives can cause yellowing or browning of the hair care compositions containing them during storage. For this reason, the use of these derivatives in hair care compositions has been relatively limited to date, notably preventing their use at high concentrations.

[0005] Thus, there is a real need to develop a hair composition characterized by good color stability during storage which includes at least one specific pyridine derivative to prevent irreversible deformation of hair, particularly damaged and / or sensitized hair, due to the elongation of fibers, for example during combing or detangling, and to repair or prevent breakage of hair, especially damaged and / or sensitized hair.

[0006] The applicant has surprisingly discovered that all or part of these objectives can be achieved by the composition according to the present invention. Summary of the invention

[0083] Two types of compositions, Ax and By, were prepared in which the amount of Pyridoxine HCl varies from 1% to 5% by weight and the amount of oleic acid varies from 0% to 8% by weight. Some of these compositions were evaluated with regard to their stability and / or resistance to breakage and / or irreversible deformation.

[0084] [Tables 1] Composition Ax Ingredients % by mass Cetearyl Alcohol 7 Myristyle stearate and myristyle palmitate mixture 2 Behentrimonium Chloride 3.75 Amodimethicone (And) Trideceth-6 (And) Cetrimonium Chloride 8.5 Pyridoxine HCl 1 to 5 Oleic Acid 0 to 8 Preservatives 0.43 NaOH 5N Qsp pH 4.0 Water Qsp 100

[0085] [Tables2] Composition by Ingredients % mass Ethanol 30 1,2-Propylene glycol 20 Pyridoxine HCl 1 to 5 Oleic acid 0 to 8 NaOH 5N Qsp pH 4.0 Water Qsp 100

[0086] b. Stability study of compositions

[0087] Some of the Ax and Byont compositions were placed in vials and then in an oven at 66°C for one week to study the evolution of color during storage. The intensity of the color change of the compositions (yellowing / browning) after storage was evaluated using the following scale: 0 = no difference, 1 = slight, 2 = intense, 3 = very intense. Only formulas with a score of 0 are considered colorfast.

[0088] c. Study of breakage and irreversible deformation of hair

[0089] Some of the Ax and Byon compositions were applied according to the application protocol described below and evaluated with regard to their integrity, namely their resistance to the breakage and irreversible deformation according to the test protocol described below. Application protocol

[0090] Strands of Caucasian hair, damaged by two successive bleachings, weighing 2.7g and measuring 27cm in length, are washed with DOP shampoo, then squeezed dry between the fingers (2 passes). The damp strands are then laid on a flat surface and the Axou By compositions are applied to said strands with a bath ratio of 0.4 (i.e., 0.4g of composition per 1g of hair).

[0091] The hair is then massaged with the fingers using circular motions along each strand (5 times), and the strands are left for 5 minutes. The strands are then rinsed under tap water for 10 seconds, squeezed dry, and then dried at 60°C (10 min / g of hair). These steps are repeated for a total of 5 applications.

[0092] A damaged and untreated strand of hair is used as a reference. Test protocol

[0093] The test consists of pulling on wet hair to see if the hair breaks, becomes irreversibly deformed, or deforms and then returns to its original shape and length. The test is commonly used by hairdressers to assess the integrity of their clients' hair. The test involves taking a strand of hair, soaking it in water for 30 seconds, and then taking and holding three hair fibers between the index finger and thumb of each hand (each hand holds one end of the fibers). The fibers are then placed under slight tension by moving the fingers and thumbs of each hand apart so that there are 3 centimeters of fibers between the hands, and then pulling so that the fibers deform an additional 1 cm. A ruler is used to ensure that the stretching distances are correctly maintained. The fibers are held for 3 seconds, and then the tension is gently released.The fibers are placed horizontally on absorbent paper for 5 minutes to dry and then evaluated.

[0094] The test is repeated 5 times, for a total of 15 fibers.

[0095] The hair integrity performance is classified according to the following rules: • If the sum of irreversibly broken and deformed fibers is equal to or greater than 10, the hair has very poor integrity. • If the sum of irreversibly broken and deformed fibers is between 6 and 9 inclusive, the hair has poor integrity. • If the sum of irreversibly broken and deformed fibers is between 2 and 5 inclusive, the hair has good integrity. • If the sum of irreversibly broken and deformed fibers is 1 or less, the hair has very good integrity.

[0096] d. Results of stability measurements:

[0097] The results of the stability measurements for each of the compositions tested are summarized in the table below.
