Description

Title of the invention: A method for coloring keratin fibers using a composition comprising at least one specific fatty acid, at least one oxygenated terpene compound, at least one oligo / polyester, and at least one pigment. Technical field of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for coloring keratin fibers using a composition comprising at least one particular fatty acid, at least one oxygenated terpene compound, at least one oligo / polyester and at least one pigment. Context of the invention

[0002] Hair coloring is a principle that has been known for a long time, whether for coloring or lightening hair. This allows anyone who wishes to change the color of their hair.

[0003] In processes for coloring keratin fibers, it is known in particular to color keratin fibers using dye compositions comprising pigments.

[0004] However, the application of these dyeing compositions can present a number of drawbacks. Indeed, after application to keratin fibers, the resulting dyeing power may not be entirely satisfactory, or may even be weak, leading to a limited range of colors. The dyes may also not be sufficiently resistant to external agents such as light, water, shampoos, and perspiration, and may also be too selective, meaning that the color variation is too significant along the same keratin fiber, which is sensitized differently between its tip and its root.

[0005] Furthermore, the formulation of environmentally friendly cosmetic products, that is, products whose design and development take environmental issues into account, is becoming a major concern in order to help address global challenges. It is therefore essential to offer more sustainable coloring compositions that address these environmental issues, particularly by reducing the use of petrochemical-derived compounds.

[0006] Thus, there is a real need to develop a process for coloring keratin fibers that overcomes these drawbacks and is particularly capable

[0007] of delivering good performance, especially with regard to color development, intensity, and chromaticity, while having low selectivity and a Good tenacity, for a wide range of shades. Ideally, such a process should not use silicone-based raw materials.

[0008] The applicant has surprisingly discovered that all or part of these objectives can be achieved by the process according to the present invention. Summary of the invention

Mixtures of dimers and trimers of unsaturated fatty acids and / or unsaturated fatty acids (unpolymerized, therefore corresponding to a monomer) can also be used within the scope of the invention. In the case of such a mixture, a mixture comprising more than 50% by weight of dimers is preferred, for example, a mixture comprising more than 90% by weight, preferably more than 95%, of acids in the form of dimers, the remainder of the mixture being potentially trimers and / or monomers of unsaturated fatty acids. The dimer(s) and / or trimer(s) of unsaturated fatty acids may optionally be hydrogenated after the polymerization reaction of the unsaturated fatty acid, notably to improve the stability of the dimer or trimer product.

[0135] The pigments that can be used are in particular chosen from among the organic and / or mineral pigments known in the art, in particular those described in Kirk-Othmer's Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology and in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry.

[0136] They may be natural, of natural origin, or not.

[0137] These pigments may be in the form of a powder or pigment paste. They may be coated or uncoated.

[0138] Pigments can, for example, be chosen from mineral pigments, organic pigments, lacquers, special effect pigments such as mother-of-pearl or glitter, and mixtures thereof.

[0139] The pigment may be a mineral pigment. By "mineral pigment" is meant any pigment that meets the definition in the Ullmann Encyclopedia in the chapter on inorganic pigments.

[0144] The pigments according to the invention can also be in the form of composite pigments as described in patent EP 1 184 426. These composite pigments can be composed in particular of particles comprising an inorganic core, at least one binder ensuring the fixation of organic pigments on the core, and at least one organic pigment covering at least partially the core.

[0145] The organic pigment can also be a lacquer. By lacquer, we mean colorants adsorbed onto insoluble particles, the whole thus obtained remaining insoluble during use.

[0146] The inorganic substrates on which the dyes are adsorbed are, for example, alumina, silica, calcium sodium borosilicate or calcium aluminium borosilicate, and aluminium.

[0147] Among the colorants, carminic acid may be mentioned.

[0148] As examples of lacquers, we can cite the product known under the following name: D & C Red 7 (CI 15 850 :1).

[0149] The pigment can also be a special effects pigment. Special effects pigments are defined as pigments that generally create a non-uniform and changing colored appearance (characterized by a certain shade, vibrancy, and clarity) depending on the viewing conditions (light, temperature, viewing angles, etc.). They are thus distinct from colored pigments that provide a uniform opaque, semi-transparent, or conventionally transparent tint.

[0150] There are several types of special effect pigments, those with a low refractive index such as fluorescent or photochromic pigments, and those with a higher refractive index such as mother-of-pearl, interference pigments or glitter.

[0151] Examples of special effect pigments include pearlescent pigments such as titanium-coated mica or bismuth oxychloride, colored pearlescent pigments such as titanium-coated mica with iron oxides, iron oxide-coated mica, titanium-coated mica, particularly with ferric blue or chromium oxide, titanium-coated mica with an organic pigment as defined above, and bismuth oxychloride-based pearlescent pigments. Examples of pearlescent pigments include Cellini pearlescent pigments marketed by BASF (Mica-TiO2-lacquer), Prestige pearlescent pigments marketed by Eckart (Mica-TiO2), Prestige Bronze pearlescent pigments marketed by Eckart (Mica-Fe2O3), and Colorona pearlescent pigments marketed by Merck (Mica-TiO2-Fe2O3).

[0154] Particles with a glass substrate coated with titanium oxide are notably sold under the name METASHINE MC1080RY by the company TOYAL.

[0155] Finally, examples of mother-of-pearl include polyethylene terephthalate flakes, particularly those marketed by Meadowbrook Inventions under the name Silver IP 0.004X0.004 (silver flakes). Multilayer pigments based on synthetic substrates such as alumina, silica, calcium sodium borosilicate or calcium aluminum borosilicate, and aluminum can also be considered.

[0156] Special effect pigments may also be selected from reflective particles, that is to say, in particular, particles whose size, structure, including the thickness of the layer(s) that constitute them and their physical and chemical nature, and surface condition, enable them to reflect incident light. This reflection may, where appropriate, have sufficient intensity to create, on the surface of the composition or mixture, when applied to the makeup support, highlights visible to the naked eye, that is to say, brighter points that contrast with their surroundings by appearing to shine.

[0157] The reflective particles can be selected so as not to significantly alter the coloring effect generated by the coloring agents associated with them, and more particularly so as to optimize this effect in terms of color rendering. They may, in particular, have a yellow, pink, red, bronze, orange, brown, gold and / or copper color or reflection.

[0158] These particles can have various shapes, including being platelet-shaped or globular, particularly spherical.

[0159] Reflective particles, whatever their shape, may or may not have a multilayer structure and, in the case of a multilayer structure, for example at least one layer of uniform thickness, in particular of a reflective material.

[0160] When reflective particles do not have a multilayer structure, they can be composed, for example, of metal oxides, in particular titanium or iron oxides obtained by synthesis.

[0161] When reflective particles have a multilayer structure, they may, for example, comprise a natural or synthetic substrate, in particular a synthetic substrate at least partially coated by at least one layer of a reflective material, in particular at least one metal or metallic material. The substrate may be monomaterial, multimaterial, organic and / or inorganic.

[0162] More particularly, it may be selected from glasses, ceramics, graphite, metal oxides, aluminas, silicas, silicates, in particular aluminosilicates and borosilicates, synthetic mica and mixtures thereof, this list not being exhaustive.

[0163] The reflective material may include a layer of metal or a metallic material.

[0164] Reflective particles are described in particular in documents JP-A-09188830, JP-A-10158450, JP-A-10158541, JP-A-07258460 and JP-A-05017710.

[0165] As further examples of reflective particles comprising a mineral substrate coated with a layer of metal, one can also mention particles comprising a borosilicate substrate coated with silver.

[0166] Silver-coated glass substrate particles in the form of wafers are sold under the name MICROGLASS METASHINE REFSX 2025 PS by the company TOYAL. Nickel / chromium / molybdenum alloy-coated glass substrate particles are sold under the names CRYSTAL STAR GF 550, GF 2525 by the same company.

[0167] Particles comprising a metallic substrate such as silver, aluminum, iron, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, gold, copper, zinc, tin, magnesium, steel, bronze, titanium may also be used, said substrate being coated with at least one layer of at least one metallic oxide such as titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, iron oxide, cerium oxide, chromium oxide, silicon oxides and mixtures thereof.

[0168] An example can be cited as aluminium, bronze or copper powders coated with SiO2 marketed under the name VISIONAIRE by the company ECKART.

[0169] We can also mention non-fixed interference pigments such as liquid crystals (Wacker HC Helicones), holographic glitter Interference pigments (Geometry Pigments or Spectra f / x from Spectratek). Special effect pigments also include fluorescent pigments, whether they are substances that fluoresce in daylight or produce ultraviolet fluorescence, phosphorescent pigments, photochromic pigments, thermochromic pigments and quantum dots, marketed for example by the company Quantum Dots Corporation.

[0170] The variety of pigments that can be used in the present invention makes it possible to obtain a rich palette of colors, as well as particular optical effects such as metallic, interference effects.

[0171] The size of the pigment used in the composition according to the present invention is generally between 10 nm and 200 µm, preferably between 20 nm and 80 µm, and more preferably between 30 nm and 50 µm.

[0172] The pigments can be dispersed within the composition by means of a dispersing agent.

[0173] The dispersing agent serves to protect the dispersed particles from agglomeration or flocculation. This dispersing agent may be a surfactant, an oligomer, a polymer, or a mixture of several of these, possessing one or more functionalities with a strong affinity for the surface of the particles to be dispersed. In particular, they may adhere physically or chemically to the surface of the pigments. These dispersants also have at least one functional group that is compatible with or soluble in the continuous medium.In particular, esters of 12-hydroxystearic acid are used, especially C8 to C20 fatty acids and polyols such as glycerol and diglycerin, such as poly(12-hydroxystearic acid) stearate with a molecular weight of approximately 750g / mol, such as that sold under the name Solsperse 21 000 by Avecia, polyglyceryl-2 dipolyhydroxystearate (name CTFA) sold under the reference Dehymyls PGPH by Henkel, or polyhydroxystearic acid such as that sold under the reference Arlacel P100 by Uniqema and their mixtures.

[0174] As another dispersant that can be used in the compositions of the invention, we can mention quaternary ammonium derivatives of polycondensed fatty acids such as Solsperse 17 000 sold by Avecia, poly dimethylsiloxane / oxypropylene mixtures such as those sold by Dow Corning under the references DC2-5185, DC2-5225 C.

[0175] The pigments used in the composition can be surface treated with an organic agent.

[0176] Thus, the pigments previously surface-treated and useful within the scope of the invention are pigments that have undergone, totally or partially, a surface treatment of a chemical, electronic, electrochemical, mechanochemical, or mechanical nature, with an organic agent such as those described in particular in Cosmetics and Toiletries, February 1990, Vol. 105, pp. 53-64, before being dispersed in the composition according to the invention. These organic agents may, for example, be selected from waxes, for example carnauba wax and beeswax; fatty acids, fatty alcohols and their derivatives, such as stearic acid, hydroxystearic acid, stearyl alcohol, hydroxystearyl alcohol, lauric acid and their derivatives; anionic surfactants; lecithins; sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, titanium, zinc or aluminum salts of fatty acids, for example aluminum stearate or laurate; metal alkoxides; polyethylene; (meth)acrylic polymers, for example polymethyl methacrylates; polymers and copolymers containing acrylate units; alkanolamines; silicone compounds, for example silicones, in particular polydimethylsiloxanes; Fluorinated organic compounds, for example perfluoroalkyl ethers; fluoro-silicone compounds.

[0177] The surface-treated pigments useful in the composition may also have been treated by a mixture of these compounds and / or have undergone several surface treatments.

[0178] The surface-treated pigments useful in the context of the present invention can be prepared using surface treatment techniques well known to those skilled in the art or found as such in the commercial market.

[0179] Preferably, the surface-treated pigments are covered by an organic layer.

[0180] The organic agent with which the pigments are treated can be deposited on the pigments by solvent evaporation, chemical reaction between the molecules of the surfactant or creation of a covalent bond between the surfactant and the pigments.

[0181] Surface treatment can thus be achieved, for example, by a chemical reaction of a surfactant with the surface of the pigments and the creation of a covalent bond between the surfactant and the pigments or fillers. This method is described in particular in US patent 4,578,266.

[0182] Preferably, an organic agent covalently linked to the pigments will be used.

[0183] The surface treatment agent can represent from 0.1 to 50% by weight of the total weight of the pigment treated on the surface, preferably from 0.5 to 30% by weight, and even more preferably from 1 to 20% by weight of the total weight of the pigment treated on the surface.

[0185] According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the dispersing agent is present with organic or inorganic pigments in submicron-sized particulate form.

[0186] By "sub-micronic" or in English "sub-micronic" we mean pigments whose particle size has been micronized by micronization method and whose average particle size is less than one micrometer (pm), in particular between 0.1 and 0.9 pm, and preferably between 0.2 and 0.6 pm.

[0225] The following Cl to C3 compositions were prepared from the following Ca to Cc compositions according to the preparation protocol described below:

[0226] [Tables 1] Ingredients: Polyhydroxystearic Acid (Dispersun DSP-OL300 marketed by Innospec Performance Chemicals) 5 Dilinoleic Acid / Butanedio-1 Copolymer (Viscoplast 14436 H marketed by Biosynthis) 5 Dimer Dilinoleyl Dilinoleate (Lusplan DD-DA7 marketed by Nippon Fine Chemical Company Ltd.) 5 Caprylic acid / menthol mixture (molar ratio 1 / 1) Qsp 100 Qsp 100 Qsp 100

[0227] [Tables2] Ingredients C1 C2 C3 Red iron oxide 6 6 6 Composition Ca Qsp 100 - - Composition Cb - Qsp 100 - Composition Cc — - Qsp 100 Preparation process for Cl to C3 compositions

[0228] 1 mole of caprylic acid is weighed in a flask to which 1 mole of Menthol. The mixture is heated with stirring at 70°C for 1 hour. After the reaction mixture has returned to room temperature, compound E is added to the resulting liquid and the mixture is again heated with stirring at 70°C. for 20 minutes. After returning to room temperature, the Ca, Cb, or Cc composition is obtained as a slightly viscous, colorless, transparent, oil-like liquid. The red iron oxide is then incorporated into the Ca, Cb, or Cc composition and mixed until completely dispersed. Example 1#: Evaluating the rise of color

[0229] Protocol: 800 mg of each of the compositions C1 to C3 were applied to strands of natural white Caucasian hair (90%). This application was carried out using a brush on a plate heated to 33°C. After a processing time of 10 minutes, the strands were rinsed 20 times with water before being blow-dried.

[0230] Colorimetric measurements: The color rise (AE*) was evaluated in the CIE L* a* b* system using a Konica-Minolta CM-2600d spectrophotometer (Illuminant D65). In this L* a* b* system, L* represents the color intensity, a* indicates the color hue on the green / red color axis, and b* the color hue on the blue / yellow color axis. The lower the L* value, the darker or more intense the color. The higher the a* value, the redder the hue, and the higher the b* value, the bluer the hue.

[0231] In the table below, the value of AE* is calculated from the values ​​of L*a*b* according to the following equation: In the equation, L*, a* and b* represent the values ​​measured on the strands after treatment using the protocol above, and Lo*, a0* and b0* represent the values ​​measured on untreated control strands. The higher the AE* value, the better the color lift or variation.

[0232] Dyeing results: The results of the different climbs obtained are shown in the tables below: [Tables3] a* b* AE* mounted Untreated hair BN90 65.19 0.01 15.94 - Composition Cl 39.66 25.79 20.57 36.58 Composition C2 37.83 23.37 18.4 36.06 Composition C3 35.14 23.14 17.59 37.96
