Description

Title of the invention: COMPOSITION COMPRISING AN OXIDATION DYE AND / OR A ALKALINE AGENT, A SPECIAL CATIONIC GUAR AND A CATIONIC SURFACTANT

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of hair coloring and hair lightening. It aims to provide a composition capable of serving as a basis for the formulation of all types of compositions usable in a process of coloring and / or artificially lightening keratin fibers, preferably hair.

[0002] The invention relates to a composition comprising at least one oxidation dye and / or alkaline agent, at least one particular cationic guar and at least one particular cationic surfactant.

[0003] The invention also relates to a method for treating keratin fibers, in particular hair, comprising the application to said fibers of the composition according to the invention, as well as a kit comprising the composition according to the invention and an oxidizing composition.

[0004] It is known to dye keratin fibers, and in particular human hair, with dye compositions containing precursors of oxidation dyes, such as oxidation bases, notably ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols, and heterocyclic compounds. These oxidation bases are colorless or weakly colored compounds which, when combined with oxidizing agents, can give rise to colored compounds through an oxidative condensation process.

[0005] It is also known that the shades obtained with these oxidation bases can be varied by combining them with color couplers or modifiers, the latter being chosen in particular from aromatic meta-diaminobenzenes, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds such as indolic compounds.

[0006] The variety of molecules involved at the level of the oxidation bases and the couplers allows for the obtaining of a rich palette of colors.

[0007] So-called permanent hair coloring is characterized by the use of oxidation color precursor(s) (bases and / or couplers) in the presence of oxidizing compound(s). In order to be considered an effective hair coloring, it must meet certain criteria. It must allow for obtaining shades in the desired intensity with color differences, between the tip and the root of the same strand (also called selectivity), that are as small as possible.

[0008] The colouring must also be resistant over time and not degrade in the presence of external agents such as washing, light, climatic conditions, friction and perspiration.

[0009] However, the coloring results obtained are not always very satisfactory, particularly in terms of selectivity, color rise, chromaticity, intensity and / or persistence, especially with successive shampoos, or resistance to light or perspiration.

[0010] Also, hair can be weakened or damaged by repeated coloring, so users often also resort to separate hair care products to condition the hair. This two-step hair treatment (coloring, then conditioning) is more complicated to implement, time-consuming, and expensive for the user.

[0011] In addition, current compositions for hair colorings generally have the following disadvantages: conditioning properties that are not entirely satisfactory, an odor that can be unpleasant, scalp discomfort and / or a texture that is sometimes difficult to distribute evenly on keratin fibers (running), especially hair.

[0012] From these observations arose the interest in developing new compositions, which could serve as a basis for the formulation of all types of compositions usable in a process of coloring keratin fibers, allowing to obtain a coloring of keratin fibers that is not very selective (i.e. homogeneous from root to tip), intense, tenacious, chromatic, with a good rise of color, and which are capable of leading to colorings resistant to the various aggressions that the fibers can undergo, such as climatic conditions, washing and perspiration, and also capable of leading to good dyeing performance even after a period of storage.

[0013] It is also of interest that these new compositions be not very aggressive to the scalp, that they have good properties of use such as a pleasant smell, a pleasant texture, that they are easy to apply, and that they also give care / conditioning properties to the keratin fibers, more particularly softness to the touch, suppleness, shine and / or a smooth feel.

[0014] Furthermore, the formulation of environmentally friendly cosmetic products, that is to say, whose design and development take into account environmental issues, is becoming a major concern in order to help meet global challenges.

[0015] It is therefore essential to propose more sustainable compositions that make it possible to respond to these environmental challenges.

[0016] 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 with a good naturalness index and / or of natural origin and more particularly of plant origin, while reducing the use of petrochemical compounds.

[0017] These objectives are achieved with the present invention, which relates in particular to a composition, preferably cosmetic, comprising: (i) at least one oxidation dye and / or at least one alkali metal, (ii) at least one cationic guar with the INCI name: Hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride having an average molecular weight in the range of 2,000,000 to 3,500,000 g / mol, and (iii) at least one cationic surfactant selected from fatty amine cationic surfactants, quaternary ester surfactants, and mixtures thereof.

[0018] It has been observed that the composition according to the invention provides better dyeing properties. In particular, the resulting color is less selective and exhibits good color development, intensity, chromaticity, and tenacity.

[0019] The colors of the keratin fibers obtained with the composition according to the invention are particularly resistant to external agents (washing, light, weathering, friction, perspiration), in particular resistant to several shampoos.

[0020] The compositions according to the invention exhibit good performance and cosmetic properties, including a pleasant odor and a distinctive texture compared to commonly used hair coloring compositions, with a compact cream texture that melts easily upon application, particularly on contact with keratin fibers such as hair. This particular cream texture facilitates application of the composition according to the invention to the roots of keratin fibers, especially hair, resulting in better coverage of the roots of keratin fibers, particularly hair, by the composition according to the invention.

[0021] The compositions according to the invention succeed in presenting a firm and melting texture upon application, while allowing homogeneous deposition of the latter on keratin fibers (no drips), in particular keratin fibers such as hair.

[0022] It has been observed that the compositions according to the invention lead to good scalp comfort during application.

[0023] It has also been observed that hair treated in this way is particularly shiny, light, soft to the touch, smooth to the touch, supple, easy to detangle, more disciplined and coated.

[0024] In addition, the compositions according to the invention are particularly environmentally friendly, in particular by not comprising any or very few compounds of petrochemical origin.

[0025] The invention also relates to a process for treating keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as hair, comprising at least one step of applying a composition according to the invention to said keratin fibers.

[0026] The invention also relates to a multi-compartment device comprising at least a first compartment containing the composition according to the invention and at least a second compartment containing an oxidizing composition.
