Description

Title of the invention: COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DYEING AND / OR LIGHTENING KERA-FIBERS TINUSES FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present disclosure relates, in general, to cosmetic products, and in particular, to cosmetic compositions for the hair. In particular, the present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for dyeing and / or lightening keratinous fibers. CONTEXT OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Dyeing keratinous fibers, particularly human hair, is a well-known practice and commonly involves the use of coloring compositions, which include oxidation dye precursors, generally referred to as oxidation bases and couplers. These dye precursors are colorless or weakly colored compounds. When combined with an oxidizing agent, they give rise, through a process of oxidative condensation, to colored compounds.

[0003] Generally, the oxidation dyeing process involves the application, to keratinous fibers, of oxidation bases or a mixture of oxidation bases and couplers, with an oxidizing agent, which is added at the time of use.

[0004] Generally, this process is carried out at an alkaline pH, and produces dyeing and, at the same time, lightening of the fiber, by bleaching the melanin pigment in the hair. In this way, the dyes develop in the cortex of the hair and a uniform development of the color is achieved.

[0005] The formulation of environmentally friendly cosmetic products, which are designed and developed with environmental issues in mind, is becoming a major objective in an effort to address global challenges.

[0006] It is therefore essential to provide more sustainable compositions, preparation processes and ingredients to address these environmental concerns. In this context, it is important to develop new cosmetic compositions with a better carbon footprint, in particular by promoting the use of renewable raw materials and / or materials with a good naturalness index and / or materials of natural origin and, more particularly, materials of plant origin while reducing the use of compounds of petrochemical origin.

[0007] Thus, there is a need for dyeing / lightening products that have good working qualities in addition to good performance, particularly in terms of level of lightening, color uptake and hair revitalization, which are also environmentally friendly. Summary of the invention

[0008] In one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a composition comprising at least 3% by weight of at least one vegetable oil, relative to a total weight of the composition; at least one fatty acid different from the vegetable oil; at least 10% by weight of at least one solid fatty compound different from the vegetable oil and the fatty acid, relative to a total weight of the composition; at least one cationic polysaccharide; and at least one oxidative dye and / or at least one alkaline agent.

[0009] In another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for dyeing / lightening keratinous fibers comprising applying a composition comprising at least 3% by weight of at least one vegetable oil, relative to a total weight of the composition; at least one fatty acid different from the vegetable oil; at least 10% by weight of at least one solid fatty compound different from the vegetable oil and the fatty acid, relative to a total weight of the composition; at least one cationic polysaccharide; and at least one oxidative dye and / or at least one alkaline agent, to said keratinous fibers.

[0010] In another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a use of a composition comprising at least 3% by weight of at least one vegetable oil, relative to a total weight of the composition; at least one fatty acid different from the vegetable oil; at least 10% by weight of at least one solid fatty compound different from the vegetable oil and the fatty acid, relative to a total weight of the composition; at least one cationic polysaccharide; and at least one oxidative dye and / or at least one alkaline agent for dyeing / lightening keratinous fibers, such as hair.

[0175] Composition for lightening keratinous fibers

[0176] Composition A (according to the invention) for dyeing / lightening keratinous fibers was prepared using 6% by weight of vegetable oil (i.e. sunflower oil); polyol i.e. 5% by weight of propylene glycol; cationic polysaccharide i.e. 0.5% by weight of guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride; non-ionic associative polymer i.e. 0.05% by weight of cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose; 0.24% by weight of tetrasodium glutamate diacetate; surfactants 1.50% by weight of laureth-12, 3% by weight of laureth-4, 1.50% by weight of oleth-20 and 2.40% by weight of polysorbate 21; solid fatty compounds i.e. 17% by weight of cetearyl alcohol; alkaline agent, i.e. 7.83% by weight of ethanolamine; fatty acids, i.e. 0.32% by weight of stearic acid, 0.02% by weight of myristic acid and 0.26% by weight of palmitic acid; 0.25% by weight of ascorbic acid; 0.75% by weight of sodium metabisulfite; and water (make up to 100% by weight).

[0177] The vegetable oil (sunflower oil) used in the composition, according to the embodiments herein, was commercially obtained from Europe ADM Speciality Oil and Fats (Société Industrielle des Oléagineux).

[0178] Comparative composition B was prepared in a similar manner to composition A, except that in composition B the amount of vegetable oil was reduced to 1%. Comparative composition C was also prepared in a similar manner to composition A except that it was prepared without vegetable oil.

[0179] The ingredients used to prepare compositions A, B and C are provided in Table 1 below, expressed in % by weight.

[0183] Example!: Evaluation of color change

[0184] Protocol: Color modification, i.e. the ability to lighten / bleaching of the compositions, was tested in vitro on untreated samples of virgin / untreated Indian black hair. Each of Composition A and Comparative Composition B was independently mixed with Oxidizing Composition D in a weight ratio of 1:1 to obtain Mixtures 1 and 2, respectively.

[0185] Each of mixtures 1 and 2 was applied to the hair strands and left for a break time of 35 minutes. The hair strands were then rinsed to remove the mixtures and dried in the oven.

[0186] The color or lightening of the hair strands was measured using a spectrocolorimeter (such as the CM-2600D spectrocolorimeter) with integrating sphere and D65 illumination. The color was detected in the CIELAB 1976 color space using 3 Cartesian colorimetric coordinates L* (brightness), a* (red-green axis) and b* (blue-yellow axis). The color can also be expressed in this space with more descriptive components in terms of visual perception, with the polar coordinates C* and h which express saturation and hue angle.

[0187] The color difference, AE, which expresses the perceived difference between two colors, can be calculated from the colorimetric coordinates L*, a* and b*.

[0188] It is calculated as follows: AEL — + ) Z + (J3 — b... F

[0189] By calculating the color difference between strands of hair before and after application of the hair coloring product, the increase in coloring / lightening of the hair strands and thus its coloring / lightening performance were characterized. Therefore, the greater the color difference, AE, between the strands of hair before and after application of the hair coloring product, the better the coloring / lightening performance. Calculating the color difference between two strands of colored / lightened hair reveals whether any color differences between them can be visually perceived or not.

[0190] Results: The results of the coloring test are provided in Table 3. The greatest difference in coloring / lightening was observed for Mixture 1 comprising Composition A, which had an AE value of 8.54. Mixture 2 comprising Comparative Composition B showed minimal difference in coloring / lightening and had almost the same AE values ​​at 6.44, respectively. Composition A which included 6% vegetable oil clearly allowed for lightening capability, while the comparative composition with an amount very minimal (1%) oil was not able to have the same effect. It is clear that the higher amount of vegetable oil in composition A works synergistically with the ingredients as shown in Table 1 and provides better lightening.

[0191] [Table 3] Table 3 Mixture 1 (Composition A + Composition D) Mixture 2 (Composition B + Composition D) A Values ​​E 8.54 6.44

[0192] Example 3: Evaluation of the revitalization effect

[0193] Protocol: The revitalizing effect is tested in vitro on untreated samples of Indian human hair. Each of the mixtures 1 and 2 as prepared in Example 2 was applied to the hair strands and left for a break time of 35 minutes. The hair strands were then rinsed to remove the mixtures and dried in an oven.

[0194] The revitalization effect was evaluated by a panel of experts (8 evaluators).

[0195] Results: The conditioning effect was rated as the highest for Blend 1 comprising Composition A, while for Blend 2 comprising Composition B, the conditioning effect was rated with negligible improvement in sensory quality, i.e., smoothness and softness. Blend 1 led to a feeling of softness, suppleness and smoothness in the hair strands, as well as luster. The hair strands were also easy to comb. It was observed that Composition A comprising 6% vegetable oil was able to effectively condition the hair, while the comparative composition with a very minimal amount (1%) of oil did not provide the same conditioning effect.

[0196] Example 4:

[0197] Consumer evaluation of coloring and working qualities

[0198] Protocol: The coloring and working qualities, including ease of mixing and application, consistency, ease of emulsification, and ease of rinsing, were tested on consumer participants / volunteers. 8 participants with medium to long hair, medium to high hair quantity, and 0% to 20% gray hair were selected. Before applying the compositions, the participants' heads were thoroughly shampooed, and the hair was blow-dried thereafter. Each of Composition A and Comparative Composition C was independently mixed with Oxidizing Composition D in a 1:1 weight ratio.

[0199] Each of mixtures 1 (composition A+D) and 3 (composition C+D) was applied to the participants' hair, left for a 35-minute break, then rinsed with water to remove the mixtures, and the hair was blow-dried.

[0200] Consumers appreciated the time required to mix the compositions, the speed with which the compositions emulsified, the number of brush strokes and the time required to evenly apply the composition to the hair, the time required to rinse the mixtures. They also evaluated the change in the color of the treated hair after the drying step.

[0201] Results:

[0202] Lightening: Overall, Mixture 1 comprising Composition A had a better lightening / bleaching effect and shine for each of the participants. The lightening / bleaching effect was lower in Mixture 3 for each participant.

[0203] Mixture 1 comprising composition A was also preferred by participants for its ease of emulsification and rinsing of hair, compared to mixture 3.

[0204] Overall, Mix 1 was preferred by participants for its good working and coloring qualities, i.e. lightening / bleaching effect. BENEFITS OF THIS DISCLOSURE

[0205] The composition of the present invention provides improved color modification in terms of lightening / bleaching while also providing good working qualities such as ease of emulsification and rinsing from the hair. The composition also demonstrates good nourishment and conditioning of the hair contributing to the smooth texture and supple feel of the hair. This is achieved, in part, due to the incorporation of an appropriate amount of vegetable oil into the composition of the present invention, which also results in an environmentally friendly composition with reduced use of artificial ingredients.
