Description

Title of the invention: COMPOSITION ADAPTED TO KERATINOUS FIBERS Technical field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to a composition which is suitable for reshaping, preferably smoothing, keratinous fibers such as hair. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Straightening keratinous fibers such as hair by heating the keratinous fibers with an iron is common, making unruly keratinous fibers manageable and reducing the volume and improving the appearance of the keratinous fibers. Such a straightening process using a heated iron is convenient for quick styling, but the hairstyle only lasts for a short period, for example until the next shampoo. Many consumers need a long-lasting straightening process.

[0003] On the other hand, conventional permanent straightening processes using a reducing agent and an alkaline agent, as well as an oxidizing agent, with heating, can provide keratin fibers with long-lasting styling, but they have several disadvantages such as a long processing time, damage to the keratin fibers and a bad odor.

[0004] Document WO 2014 / 131469 discloses a method for straightening keratinous fibers by heating with an iron, without the use of reducing and oxidizing agents, in which glyoxylic acid is used to straighten the keratinous fibers.

[0005] Document US-A-2023 / 742 discloses a semi-permanent hair straightening composition including 15% to 20% by weight of glyoxylic acid and 0.1% to 5% by weight of levulinic acid. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0006] There remains a need to improve the remodeling of keratinous fibers based on treatment of the keratinous fibers with glyoxylic acid or a derivative thereof.

[0007] An objective of the present invention is to provide a composition which is useful for remodeling keratinous fibers such as hair, based on treating the keratinous fibers with glyoxylic acid or a derivative thereof, which can provide the keratinous fibers with longer-lasting remodeling effects.

[0008] The above objective of the present invention can be achieved by a composition for keratinous fibers, such as hair, comprising: a. at least one compound selected from the group consisting of glyoxylic acid, glyoxylic acid solvates, glyoxylic acid salts, glyoxylic acid esters glyoxylic acid, glyoxylic acid amides and mixtures thereof; b. at least one compound, different from compound (a), selected from the group consisting of keto acids, salts thereof and mixtures thereof; and c. at least one aminosilicone.

[0014] The composition according to the present invention may further comprise (d) water.

[0015] The composition according to the present invention may further comprise (e) at least one betaine compound.

[0016] The composition according to the present invention may further comprise (f) at least one fatty amine.

[0017] The pH of the composition according to the present invention may be 7 or less, preferably 6 or less and more preferably 5 or less.

[0018] The composition according to the present invention may not comprise any ammonia or thiol compound, or may comprise less than 1% by weight, preferably less than 0.5% by weight and more preferably less than 0.1% by weight of ammonia or thiol compound, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0019] The composition according to the present invention may not comprise any reducing agent or oxidizing agent, or may comprise less than 1% by weight, preferably less than 0.5% by weight and more preferably less than 0.1% by weight of a reducing agent or an oxidizing agent, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0020] The composition according to the present invention may be intended for the remodeling, preferably the smoothing, of keratinous fibers such as hair.

[0021] The present invention also relates to a method for remodeling, preferably smoothing, keratinous fibers such as hair, comprising the following steps: i. application of the composition according to the present invention to keratinous fibers; ii. optional rinsing of the keratinous fibers with or without drying of the keratinous fibers after rinsing; and iii. remodeling, preferably smoothing of keratinous fibers, preferably at a temperature of more than 50°C, more preferably more than 100°C and even more preferably more than 150°C.

[0022] The present invention also relates to a kit for reshaping, preferably smoothing, keratinous fibers such as hair, comprising:

[0023] at least one selected from the group consisting of an iron, a curler, a comb, a dryer and a combination thereof, preferably at least one heated iron, a heated curler, a heated comb or a heated dryer which is capable of providing the keratinous fibers with a temperature above 50°C, preferably above 1000°C and more preferably above 150°C; and

[0024] the composition according to the present invention. Best mode for carrying out the invention

[0025] After diligent research, the inventors have discovered that it is possible to provide a composition which is useful for remodeling keratinous fibers such as hair, based on treating the keratinous fibers with glyoxylic acid or a derivative thereof, and which can provide the keratinous fibers with longer-lasting remodeling effects.

[0026] Thus, the present invention mainly relates to a composition intended for keratinous fibers, such as hair, comprising: a. at least one compound selected from the group consisting of glyoxylic acid, glyoxylic acid solvates, glyoxylic acid salts, glyoxylic acid esters, glyoxylic acid amides and mixtures thereof; a. at least one compound, different from compound (a), selected from the group consisting of keto acids, salts thereof and mixtures thereof; and b. at least one aminosilicone.

[0027] The present invention can improve the remodeling of keratinous fibers such as hair, based on treatment of the keratinous fibers with glyoxylic acid or a derivative thereof, providing longer-lasting remodeling effects.

[0028] The remodeling of keratinous fibers, such as hair, here includes smoothing or the curling of keratinous fibers.

[0029] The present invention can provide keratinous fibers such as hair with longer-lasting remodeling effects. Thus, the present invention can lengthen or prolong the remodeling effects of keratinous fibers provided by the use of a composition including only glyoxylic acid or a derivative thereof. In particular, the present invention can further maintain the straightened or curled shape of keratinous fibers, or can prevent or reduce loss of the straightened or curled shape of keratinous fibers over time.

[0030] For example, if keratinous fibers are originally wavy, the present invention may provide better prevention against a return of the keratinous fibers to their original wavy shape, after straightening the keratinous fibers, particularly after shampooing.

[0031] The present invention can also provide keratinous fibers with sufficient immediate remodeling effects. Thus, keratinous fibers treated with the present invention for straightening may have less volume or less frizz due to the reduction of curls of the keratinous fibers. The remodeling effects provided by the present invention can last for a long time, for example, even after shampooing the keratinous fibers. Thus, the present invention can also provide the shape of keratinous fibers with good shampoo resistance.

[0032] The present invention can cause less damage to keratinous fibers compared to conventional permanent remodeling methods, because the present invention does not need to use reducing / oxidizing agents. Therefore, it can be easy to comb the keratinous fibers treated by the present invention. Thus, the keratinous fibers treated by the present invention can be easy to manage. Furthermore, the keratinous fibers treated by the present invention can be stronger than those treated by conventional permanent remodeling technologies.

[0033] Furthermore, the present invention can use little or no ammonia or thiol compound, and therefore, the odor during the use of the present invention can be reduced compared to conventional methods that require the use of ammonia or a thiol compound. In addition, the present invention can have good ease of use, for example, a short processing time.

[0286] The present invention also relates to a method for remodeling, preferably smoothing, keratinous fibers such as hair, comprising the following steps: i. application of the composition according to the present invention to keratinous fibers; i. optional rinsing of the keratinous fibers with or without drying of the keratinous fibers after rinsing; and ii. remodeling, preferably smoothing, of keratinous fibers, preferably at a temperature of more than 50°C, more preferably more than 100°C and even more preferably more than 150°C.

[0287] The details of the composition used in the method according to the present invention are explained in the section entitled [Composition] above.

[0288] The method according to the present invention is intended for the remodeling, preferably for the smoothing, of keratinous fibers, such as hair, more preferably for smoothing for a long period and even more preferably, for smoothing even after several shampoos. In this sense, the method according to the present invention can be a semi-permanent remodeling, preferably smoothing, process.

[0289] It is preferable to clean the keratinous fibers before step (i). This cleaning step can be carried out, for example, by shampooing the keratinous fibers and then rinsing the keratinous fibers. After rinsing, the keratinous fibers can be dried. It is preferable that the keratinous fibers are wet just before step (i).

[0290] In step (i), the composition according to the present invention, which is explained above, is applied to keratinous fibers such as hair. The application of the composition according to the present invention can be carried out by any means, such as a brush or a comb.

[0291] The bath ratio of the composition applied according to the present invention to the keratinous fibers can range from 0.1 to 10, more particularly from 0.5 to 5, and is preferably between 0.3 and 2. The expression "bath ratio" is intended to designate the weight ratio between the total weight of the composition applied and the total weight of the keratinous fibers.

[0292] It may be possible, after application of the composition according to the present invention, to leave the keratinous fibers as they are for a certain period of time; generally from 1 minute to 1 hour, preferably from 2 to 30 minutes, and more preferably from 3 to 10 minutes, if necessary, in order to allow the composition to penetrate into the keratinous fibers.

[0293] After step (i), the process according to the present invention may comprise the optional step of (ii) rinsing the keratinous fibers with or without drying the keratinous fibers after rinsing.

[0294] Thus, if step (ii) is present, the keratinous fibers are rinsed in order to remove the composition according to the present invention from the keratinous fibers. The rinsing step can be carried out with water. It is preferable that the keratinous fibers are not dried after being rinsed. The drying of the keratinous fibers can be carried out with a conventional drying means such as a hair dryer.

[0295] On the other hand, if step (ii) is not present, the keratinous fibers can be treated by step (iii) after step (i), without rinsing.

[0296] In step (iii), the keratinous fibers, which are preferably dry, are subjected to remodeling, preferably to straightening, preferably at a temperature of more than 50°C, more preferably more than 100°C and even more preferably more than 150°C, with a heating element, such as a heating iron or a heated curler. This temperature may be less than 250°C, preferably less than 240°C and more preferably less than 230°C. Thus, this temperature may be more than 50°C and less than 250°C, preferably more than 100°C and less than 240°C, and more preferably more than 150°C and less than 230°C.

[0297] The reshaping may be performed by providing the keratinous fibers with any mechanical force such as mechanical tension. The mechanical tension may be applied to the keratinous fibers by any reshaping means to deform the keratinous fibers into a desired shape. For example, the mechanical power may be provided by at least one reshaping means selected from the group consisting of at least one iron, at least one curler, at least one comb, and a combination thereof. Any conventional iron, curler, or comb may be used as the reshaping means. A dryer that can blow gas such as air may also be used as the reshaping means.

Thus, the reshaping means may be at least one heating iron and / or at least one heating curler and / or at least one heating comb and / or at least one heating dryer which may blow hot gas such as hot air. It may be preferable to use at least one heating iron and / or at least one heating curler.

[0299] As a heating iron, any conventional heating iron can be used. The heating iron may have at least one plate, preferably two plates, which can be heated, for example, by electric heating. The heated plate(s) can be applied to the keratinous fibers and moved in the direction of the keratinous fibers to smooth them.

[0300] It is preferable that the heating iron has two plates, and that the keratinous fibers are sandwiched between the two plates of the heating iron, in which at least one of the plates can be heated, and then the two plates are moved in the direction of the keratinous fibers to straighten them.

[0301] It is preferable that the heating iron, in particular a portion thereof in contact with keratinous fibers, such as a heating plate or heating plates, has a temperature of more than 50°C and less than 250°C, more preferably, more than 100°C and less than 240°C, and even more preferably, more than 150°C and less than 230°C.

[0302] Step (iii) may be carried out by one or more passes of the heating iron in the direction of the keratinous fibers. Step (iii) can be controlled not only by the temperature of the heating iron but also by the number of passes of the heating iron.

[0303] The heating time may depend on the temperature of the heating iron, but also on the number of passes of the heating iron. It may be, for example, from 1 second to 10 minutes and preferably, from a few seconds to 5 minutes.

[0304] As a heated curler, any conventional heated curler can be used. If the keratin fibers are wound around a heated curler, this winding can be carried out over the entire length of the keratin fibers or, for example, over half the length of the keratin fibers. Depending, for example, on the desired hairstyle shape and the amount of curls, the winding can be carried out with more or less thick strands.

[0305] It is preferable that the heated curler, in particular a portion thereof in contact with keratinous fibers, such as a heating rod or a heating jacket, has a temperature of more than 50°C and less than 250°C, more preferably, more than 100°C and less than 240°C, and even more preferably, more than 150°C and less than 230°C.

[0306] Step (iii) may be carried out by holding the keratinous fibers on a heated curler so that mechanical tension is applied to the keratinous fibers. Step (iii) may be controlled not only by the temperature of the heated curler but also by the strength of the mechanical tension.

[0307] The heating time may depend on the temperature of the heating curler but also on the strength of the mechanical tension. It may be, for example, from 1 second to 10 minutes and preferably from a few seconds to 5 minutes.

[0308] If necessary, before step (ii), mechanical tension may be applied to the keratinous fibers as explained above. [Kit]

[0327] Each of the above compositions was used to straighten a strand of hair, and then the strand of hair was evaluated according to the following protocols. 1. A 27 cm long, slightly wavy, natural black Chinese hair strand was shampooed with SLES shampoo, the composition of which is shown in Table 2 below. The hair strand was rinsed thoroughly with tap water.

[0328] [Tables2] % by weight Water qsp 100 Coco-betaine (30% by weight) 9 Sodium laureth sulfate (70% by weight) 15 Polyquaternium-10 0.3 Preservatives 0.7 pH regulator qs pH 5.3 1. Each of the compositions was applied according to Examples 1 to 4 and comparative example 1 in an amount of 0.6 g on the strand of wet hair. 2. The hair strand was left for 10 minutes at room temperature (25°C). 3. Rinse the lock of hair thoroughly with tap water. 4. The hair strand was dried with a hair dryer (Nobby NB3100, TESCOM DENKI Co., Ltd, Japan) for about 90 seconds until dry. 5. The hair strand was straightened in 3 passes with a straightener (ADST Premium DS2, Hakko Limited, Japan) at 180°C, 4 seconds / pass. 6. The level of smoothing of the hair strand was visually assessed immediately after step 6 (for the smoothing effect at T0) according to the following criteria.

[0329] 5: Very good

[0330] 4: Good

[0331] 3: Correct

[0332] 2: Bad

[0333] 1: Very bad

[0334] The results are presented to the left of “ / ” on the “Smoothing Effects (TO / Tlsh)” row of Table 1. 1. A photo of the hair strand was taken immediately after step 6, and the area (expressed as the number of pixels) of the hair strand was determined using free, public domain software, Image J. The results are shown to the left of “ / ” in the “Area (TO / Tlsh)” row of Table 1. 2. The hair strand was shampooed again with SLES shampoo, the composition of which is shown in Table 2, rinsed thoroughly with tap water and dried with a hairdryer (for about 90 seconds until dry). 3. The smoothing level and the surface area of ​​the hair strand were evaluated again as above (Tlsh). The results are shown to the right of “ / ” in the “Smoothing Effects (TO / Tlsh)” and “Surface Area (TO / Tlsh)” rows of Table 1. 4. The increased area between T0 and Tlsh was calculated. The results are shown in the “Increased area (%)” row of Table 1.

[0335] The evaluation results in Table 1 show that the use of an aminosilicone with a combination of glyoxylic acid and levulinic acid can better maintain the straightened shape of the hair or reduce the increase in hair volume, which reflects a straightening or waviness of the hair, than the use of the only com- combination of glyoxylic acid and levulinic acid.
