Description

Title of the invention: Use of at least one phosphoric acid-free oxidizing composition to improve the properties of keratin fibers

[0001] The present invention relates to the use of at least one oxidizing composition (C2), free of phosphoric acid, comprising one or more chemical oxidizing agents, during an oxidation coloring process of keratin fibers, to improve the cosmetic properties, in particular the shine, and the dyeing properties of said fibers.

[0002] The invention further relates to a method for coloring keratin fibers, preferably human keratin fibers, such as hair, comprising at least the implementation of at least one oxidizing composition (C2), as defined above, in combination with at least one coloring composition (Cl) comprising one or more oxidation dyes.

[0003] In the field of coloring, it is known to dye keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as hair, by means of different techniques from direct dyes for non-permanent colorings or from oxidation dye precursors for permanent colorings.

[0004] Oxidation coloring processes generally employ coloring compositions comprising one or more oxidation dye precursors, in particular oxidation bases such as ortho- or paraphenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols, or heterocyclic compounds such as pyrazoles, pyrazolinones, or pyrazolopyridines. These oxidation bases are colorless or weakly colored compounds which, when mixed with oxidizing agents, can give rise to colored compounds through an oxidative condensation process.

[0005] It is also possible to vary the shades obtained with such oxidation bases by combining them with color couplers or modifiers. The variety of molecules involved in the oxidation bases and couplers allows for a rich palette of colors.

[0006] At the time of use, the dye compositions are mixed with oxidizing compositions, comprising one or more oxidizing agents, and then applied to the keratin fibers. After a processing time, the keratin fibers are then usually rinsed with water, then washed, once or several times with shampoo, and possibly dried to achieve the desired color.

[0007] However, the implementation of such compositions can lead to a number of disadvantages, in particular to unsatisfactory dyeing and cosmetic performance which may be due to the quality of the water used during such a coloring process, in particular depending on its more or less significant lime content.

[0008] Indeed, during the implementation of oxidation coloring processes, the limescale present in the water can lead to the formation of complexes and / or insoluble salts that can be deposited on keratin fibers, impacting the desired dyeing and cosmetic performance. In particular, such processes can, on the one hand, lead to unsatisfactory coloring, notably by producing colors that lack chromaticity, exhibiting less aesthetic, less homogeneous, duller, and less glossy reflections.

[0009] In other words, oxidation coloring processes can result in unsatisfactory dyeing and cosmetic performance which can be degraded depending on water quality conditions, particularly its hardness.

[0010] In addition, the dyeing and cosmetic performance may vary depending on the water quality conditions, i.e. according to the geographical location of the consumer(s), when the same dyeing composition is used.

[0011] Thus, there is a real need to implement a process for coloring keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as hair, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above, i.e. which is capable of leading to improved dyeing and cosmetic performance regardless of water quality conditions, in particular its hardness, in particular its limestone or calcium ion content.

[0012] In particular, there is a real need to implement an oxidation coloring process capable of leading to satisfactory dyeing and cosmetic properties while minimizing the deposition of complexes and / or insoluble salts on keratin fibers.

[0013] The present invention therefore relates in particular to the use of at least one oxidizing composition (C2), free of phosphoric acid, comprising one or more chemical oxidizing agents, during an oxidation coloring process of keratin fibers, preferably human keratin fibers, such as hair, to improve their cosmetic properties in particular shine, smooth feel, natural feel, ease of detangling, improvement of the alignment and visual appearance of the fibers, and their dyeing properties, in particular by leading to more chromatic and more homogeneous colorings.

[0014] The use according to the invention makes it possible to achieve the above objectives, in particular by leading to improved and consistent dyeing and cosmetic performance, that is to say, which depend as little as possible on the quality conditions of the water used, in particular its hardness, and more particularly its mineral salt content, and even more particularly its calcium ion content.

[0015] In other words, the use of an oxidizing composition (C2) according to the invention, during the implementation of an oxidation coloring process, thus makes it possible to reduce the deposits of complexes and / or insoluble mineral salts on the keratin fibers likely to impact the desired dyeing and / or cosmetic performance.

[0016] In other words, the use of an oxidizing composition (C2) according to the invention makes it possible to avoid the deposits of complexes and / or insoluble mineral salts, which may occur during the implementation of an oxidation coloring process, thus ensuring consistently the obtaining of good dyeing and cosmetic properties.

[0017] The use of the oxidizing composition (C2) during such an oxidation coloring process makes it possible in particular to achieve more chromatic colorings, presenting more aesthetically pleasing and more homogeneous shades.

[0018] Furthermore, the use of the oxidizing composition (C2) makes it possible to achieve improved cosmetic properties, in particular in terms of shine, smooth touch, natural touch, ease of detangling, improvement of alignment and visual appearance of the fibers, in particular shine.

[0019] Advantageously, the use of the oxidizing composition (C2) makes it possible to improve the shine of the keratin fibers while leading to improved dyeing performance with more chromatic colors, presenting more aesthetically pleasing and more homogeneous shades.

[0020] Thus the treated keratin fibers are less dull, brighter and have a more chromatic and more homogeneous coloration.

[0021] In other words, the use of the oxidizing composition (C2) according to the invention makes it possible to improve the cosmetic properties, advantageously the shine of the keratin fibers, and the dyeing properties of an oxidation coloring process of said fibers, in particular by giving more chromatic colors, presenting more aesthetic and more homogeneous shades.

[0022] Even more advantageously, the use of an oxidizing composition (C2) according to the invention, during an oxidation coloring process, results in better dyeing and / or cosmetic performance than an oxidizing composition comprising at least one phosphoric acid used in the same oxidation coloring process.

[0023] The present invention also relates to a method for coloring keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as hair, to improve the cosmetic properties of said keratin fibers, comprising at least the implementation of at least one oxidizing composition (C2), as defined above, in combination with at least one coloring composition (Cl) comprising one or more oxidation dyes.

[0024] Preferably, the coloring process includes at least mixing at least said oxidizing composition (C2) with at least said coloring composition (Cl), and at least applying the composition resulting from said mixture to said keratin fibers.

[0026] The composition, resulting from the mixture of the oxidizing composition (C2) and the dyeing composition (Cl), is thus obtained easily and quickly following a mixture between the oxidizing composition (C2) and a dyeing composition (Cl) and is stable during application.

[0027] Advantageously, the coloring process makes it possible to improve the shine of the keratin fibers and the dyeing properties of the fibers by giving more chromatic colors, presenting more aesthetic and more homogeneous shades with reflections.

[0204] The above additives may generally be present in quantities of each of them between 0 and 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the ready-to-use composition.

[0205] The following examples serve to illustrate the invention without, however, being limiting in nature. Examples

[0206] Example 1

[0207] In the following examples, all quantities are given as mass percentage of active material (AM) relative to the total weight of the composition (unless otherwise stated).

[0208] Coloring compositions

[0209] Compositions A, B, C were prepared from the ingredients whose contents are indicated in the table below (% ma):

[0210] [Tables 1] A. Oleic alcohol 2.7, Cetearyl alcohol 16.3, Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate 0.24, Xanthan gum 0.2, Glycerin 5, Propanediol 5 Oleic acid 2.7 Cetearyl glucoside 0.5 Ethanolamine 12.25 m-aminophenol 0.21 Toluene-2,5-diamine 0.64 Hydroxybenzomorpholine 0.38 Parfum 0.5 N,N-BIS(2-HYDROXYETHYL)-p-PHENYL NEDIAMINE SULFATE 0.04 2,4-DIAMINOPHENOXYETHANOL HCl 0.03 Ascorbic acid 0.25 6-Hydroxyindole 0.05 2-Amino-3-Hydroxypyridine 0.01 Sodium metabisulfite 0.71 HYDROXYETHYL-3,4-METHYLENEDIOX YANILINE HCl 0.11 Water Qs 100

[0213] Colour composition A is mixed with oxidizing compositions (B) and (C) in a ratio of 1:1.5.

[0214] Each of the mixtures is applied to moderately sensitized hair strands (SA20), at a rate of 5g of mixture per 1g of hair.

[0215] After a setting time of 30 minutes at room temperature, the strands are rinsed with clear water, and finally, the strands are dried for 2 hours in an oven at 60°C.

[0216]

[0217] The colorimetric measurements were carried out with a KONICA MINOLTA CM-3600A spectrocolorimeter (illuminant D65, angle 10°, specular component included) in the CIELab system.

[0218] Chromaticity is calculated according to the following formula#:# -F(b*)"

[0219]

[0220] The higher the chromaticity value C*, the more the fibre colour is chromatic. a* b* C* (chromaticity) A + C invention 3.01 3.84 4.88 A + B comparison 1.57 0.58 1.67

[0221] Mixing the colour composition (A) with the oxidizing composition (C) free of phosphoric acid, according to the invention, leads to a higher C* value, and therefore to better chromaticity, compared to mixing the colour composition (A) with the oxidizing composition (B) comprising phosphoric acid.

[0222] Furthermore, it is observed that the application of the composition resulting from the mixture between the colouring composition (A) and the oxidizing composition (C) leads to an improvement in the cosmetic properties of the hair, in particular its shine.

[0223] Thus, the use of the oxidizing composition according to the invention during an oxidation coloring process made it possible to improve the chromaticity of the color and the cosmetic properties of the hair, in particular its shine.
