Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a composition for dyeing keratin fibers such as the hair, which comprises, in a suitable medium, at least one oxidation base, optionally at least one coupler and at least one polyoxyethylenated sorbitan ester with a number of moles of ethylene oxide of less than or equal to 10. Such a composition makes it possible to conserve a strong coloration, while at the same time limiting the discomfort that may be experienced on the scalp at the time of application of the dye composition or after this application.
Description

The present disclosure relates to a composition for dyeing keratin fibers, which comprises at least one oxidation base and a polyoxyethylenated sorbitan ester.


It is known practice to dye keratin fibers, including human hair, with dye compositions containing oxidation dye precursors, which are generally known as oxidation bases, such as 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 products, can give rise to colored compounds via a process of oxidative condensation. The shades obtained with these oxidation bases can be modified by adding couplers or coloration modifiers, the latter being chosen, for example, from aromatic meta-diaminobenzenes, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds such as indole and pyridine compounds.


Oxidation dyeing is generally performed in the presence of an alkaline agent that promotes the dyeing of keratin fibers.


The variety of molecules used as oxidation bases and couplers allows a wide range of colors to be obtained. The “permanent” coloration obtained by means of these oxidation dyes makes it possible to obtain shades in the desired intensity and shows good fastness with respect to external agents such as light, bad weather, washing, permanent waving, perspiration and rubbing.


However, since oxidation dyeing is performed in the presence of an oxidizing agent and an alkaline agent, it occasionally leads to a sensation of discomfort reflected by local stinging and/or heating of the scalp.


It is already known practice to protect keratin fibers that need to undergo or that have undergone a coloration using a dye precursor, for example, by using particular polymers. However, this protection is not entirely satisfactory. It may lead to less powerful dyeing due to the presence of these polymers.


Moreover, it is already known practice to use polyoxyethylenated sorbitan esters in keratin fiber dyeing products. For example, German Patent Application No. DE 199 23 438 describes the use of polyoxyethylenated sorbitan esters to reduce the staining of the scalp during dyeing.


A first aspect of the present disclosure thus relates to a novel composition for dyeing keratin fibers such as the hair, which makes it possible to limit the discomfort that may be experienced by the user during dyeing.


The present disclosure also relates to a composition for dyeing keratin fibers such as the hair, which comprises, in a suitable medium, at least one oxidation base, optionally at least one coupler and at least one polyoxyethylenated sorbitan ester with a number of moles of ethylene oxide of less than or equal to 10.
