The present disclosure relates to a dyeing composition comprising, in a medium suitable for dyeing keratin materials, at least one oxidation dye precursor and at least one film-forming polymer with specific elastomeric characteristics. The present disclosure further relates to a method for dyeing keratin materials, such as keratin fibers, using this composition.
For a long time, many individuals have been seeking to modify the color of their skin, eyelashes or hair, for example, to mask their white hair. To do this, several technologies have been developed.
It is known practice to dye human keratin fibers, such as the hair, with dye compositions containing oxidation dye precursors such as oxidation bases or couplers. Oxidation bases are colorless or weakly colored compounds which, when combined with oxidizing products, give rise, by a process of oxidative condensation, to colored compounds. These dyes are insoluble and are trapped inside the hair fiber.
It is also known that it is possible to vary the shades obtained with these oxidation bases by combining them with color modifiers or couplers. The variety of molecules involved in terms of oxidation bases and couplers makes it possible to obtain a rich palette of colors.
The colorations obtained show good fastness with respect to shampoos. However, the oxidation reaction is carried out by oxidizing products such as aqueous hydrogen peroxide in a basic medium. These oxidizing agents attack the keratin of the hair, the cosmetic and mechanical properties of which can be highly degraded in the case of repeated dyeing, which can result in difficulty in styling or shaping.
It is already known practice to introduce, into some oxidation dye compositions, polymers conventionally used for formulating hair products for styling. It is known practice, for example, to add anionic, amphoteric or non-ionic film-forming polymers that result in the formation of films having a more or less hard and brittle nature.
There is a need, in the dyeing field, for a composition that makes it possible to obtain at least one of strong colorations, in varied shades, that have good fastness over time and withstand outside agents such as light, shampoo or sweat, while at the same time preserving the quality of the keratin material, for example, its ease of styling, such as satisfactory untangling, softness, and a pleasant, non-tacky appearance, and ease of use. There is also a need for dyeing compositions capable of forming on these keratin materials a flexible film that follows the movements of the skin or the head of hair, without any effect of tautness or heaviness, or any rigid sensation.
Thus, disclosed herein is a dyeing composition comprising, in a medium suitable for dyeing, at least one dye precursor and at least one elastomeric film-forming polymer wherein the film obtained by drying this polymer, at ambient temperature and at a relative humidity of 55%±5%, has properties comprising at least one of:
This composition makes it possible in some embodiments, for example, to obtain strong colorations that withstand outside agents, while at the same time preserving the integrity of keratin materials and good styling, by the formation of a flexible, non-brittle film on human keratin materials, that follows their movements.
As used herein, the term “at least one” elastomeric film-forming polymer means one or more (2, 3 or more) elastomeric film-forming polymers.
The term “dye precursors” means any non-colored molecule that, under the action of an oxidizing agent, provides a colored species which colors keratin materials.
Further disclosed herein is a method for dyeing keratin materials, such as keratin fibers, using the composition disclosed herein.
Even further disclosed herein is the use of this composition for dyeing keratin materials, for example, keratin fibers, such as the hair.
As used herein, the term “film obtained by drying at ambient temperature (22° C.±2° C.) and at a relative humidity of 55%±5%” means the film obtained, under these conditions, from a mixture comprising 6% of active material (A.M.) of the at least one elastomeric film-forming polymer in a mixture of 30% by weight of ethanol and 70% by weight of water, relative to the total alcohol+water weight, the amount of mixture being adjusted so as to obtain, in a Teflon matrix, a film 500 μm±50 μm thick. The drying is continued until the weight of the film no longer changes, which lasts approximately 12 days. The film-forming polymers that are soluble or partially soluble in ethanol are tested in ethanol alone. The other polymers are tested in water alone, in soluble or dispersed form. The relative humidity can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art using the known techniques.
As used herein, the elongation at break and the recovery rate are evaluated by the tests described below.
To carry out the tensile tests, the film is cut into rectangular test pieces 80 mm long and 15 mm wide.
The tests are carried out on a device sold under the name Lloyd or sold under the name Zwick, under the same temperature and humidity conditions as for the drying, i.e., a temperature of 22° C.±2° C. and a relative humidity of 55%±5%.
The test pieces are drawn at a speed of 20 mm/min and the distance between the jaws is 50±1 mm.
To determine the instantaneous recovery (Ri), the following procedure is carried out:
The % instantaneous recovery (Ri) is given by the formula below:
Ri=((εmax−εi)/εmax)×100
To determine the recovery at 300 seconds, the test piece, having been subjected to the above operations, is maintained at zero stress for a further 300 seconds, and its percentage elongation (ε300s) is measured.
The % recovery at 300 seconds (R300s) is given by the formula below:
R300s=(εmax−ε300s)/εmax)×100
For example, the at least one elastomeric film-forming polymer of the composition disclosed herein, optionally combined with at least one auxiliary film-forming agent, is such that it forms, under the conditions of the tests above, a film having an elongation at break ranging from 800% to 3000%; an instantaneous recovery ranging from 75% to 100%; and a recovery at 300 seconds ranging from 85% to 100%.
In the compositions disclosed herein, the at least one elastomeric film-forming polymer is present in an amount ranging, for example, from 0.05% to 20% by weight, such as from 0.1% to 15% by weight, and further, such as from 0.25% to 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.
For example, the at least one elastomeric film-forming polymer is chosen from polyurethanes, polyvinyl alcohols, and polymers comprising at least one (meth)acrylic unit. It may be in the form of a homopolymer or a copolymer. In one embodiment, it is in a non-crosslinked form in the composition.
Further for example, the at least one elastomeric film-forming polymer that is useful herein is soluble or hydrodispersible in an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic medium. In one embodiment, the at least one elastomeric film-forming polymer is soluble at at least 10 g of active material in 90 g of aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic medium (comprising 70% by_ weight of water and 30% by weight of ethanol), at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.
In one embodiment, the film formed from the composition disclosed herein has a low water sensitivity, for example, in an atmosphere with a relative humidity ranging from 30% to 80%, i.e., the film keeps its elastomeric properties for several hours. It is flexible and non-brittle and correctly follows the movements of the skin and/or the head of hair. For example, at a relative humidity ranging from 30% to 80%, the elongation at break of the film obtained does not vary by more than 50% (±400%) and/or its instantaneous recovery does not vary by more than 25% (18.75%). In other words, at a relative humidity ranging from 30% to 80%, the elongation at break of the film obtained ranges from 400% to 1200% and/or its instantaneous recovery ranges from 57% to 93%.

Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in this specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present disclosure. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should be construed in light of the number of significant digits and ordinary rounding approaches.
Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the disclosure are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements.
The following examples illustrate the present disclosure without, however, limiting the scope thereof.
The amounts are given as percentages by mass, and A.M. means active material.
