This application is a U.S. National-Stage entry under 35 U.S.C. § 371 based on International Application No. PCT/EP2019/057029, filed Mar. 21, 2019, which was published under PCT Article 21(2) and which claims priority to German Application No. 10 2018 207 024.5, filed May 7, 2018, which are all hereby incorporated in their entirety by reference.
The subject-matter of the present application is a composition for coloring keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising, in a cosmetic carrier, (a) at least one specific organic silicon compound, (b) at least one direct dye and (c) at least one film-forming hydrophobic polymer.
Another subject of this notification is a kit-of-parts for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair, which comprises the agents (I), (II) and (III) separately packaged in three different containers. Here, agent (I) contains at least one organic silicon compound (a), agent (II) contains water, and agent (III) contains at least one direct-acting dye (b) and at least one film-forming, hydrophobic polymer (c).
A third object of the present disclosure is a process for dyeing keratinous material, which comprises the application of a pretreatment agent (V) and subsequently the application of a colorant (F). In this case, the pre-treatment agent (V) contains at least one specific organic silicon compound (a) in a water-containing cosmetic carrier.
The colorant (F) is exemplified by its content of at least one direct dye (b) and at least one film-forming, hydrophobic polymer (c).
The change in shape and color of keratin fibers, especially hair, is an important area of modern cosmetics. To change the hair color, the expert knows various coloring systems depending on coloring requirements. Oxidation dyes are usually used for permanent, intensive dyeing's with good fastness properties and good grey coverage. Such dyes usually contain oxidation dye precursors, so-called developer components and coupler components, which form the actual dyes with one another under the influence of oxidizing agents, such as hydrogen peroxide. Oxidation dyes are exemplified by very long-lasting dyeing results.
When direct dyes are used, ready-made dyes diffuse from the colorant into the hair fiber. Compared to oxidative hair dyeing, the dyeing's obtained with direct dyes have a shorter shelf life and quicker wash ability. Dyeing with direct dyes usually remain on the hair for a period of between about 5 and about 20 washes.
The use of color pigments is known for short-term color changes on the hair and/or skin. Color pigments are generally understood to be insoluble, coloring substances. These are present undissolved in the dye formulation in the form of small particles and are only deposited from the outside on the hair fibers and/or the skin surface. Therefore, pigments can usually be removed again without leaving any residue by a few washes with detergents containing surfactants. Various products of this type are available on the market under the name hair mascara.
If the user wants particularly long-lasting dyeing's, the use of oxidative dyes has so far been his only option. However, despite numerous optimization attempts, an unpleasant ammonia or amine odor cannot be completely avoided in oxidative hair dyeing. The hair damage still associated with the use of oxidative dyes also has a negative effect on the user's hair.
EP 2168633 B1 deals with the task of producing long-lasting hair colorations using pigments. It teaches that by using a combination of pigment, organic silicon compound, hydrophobic polymer, and a solvent, it is possible to create colorations on hair that are particularly resistant to shampooing.
However, reworking the teaching of EP 2168633 B1 has shown that the dyeing's obtained in this way leave the hair with a poor feel. Due to their high insolubility, the pigments used in this gauge are present in particle form in the colorant. Trials have shown that these particles are deposited on the hair surface during the coloring process, leaving a rough and dull feeling on the hair surface. Appropriately colored strands of hair feel shaggy, are brittle and are difficult to comb.
The purpose of the present disclosure was to provide a dyeing system with fastness properties comparable to those of oxidative dyeing. Wash fastness properties should be outstanding, but the use of oxidation dye precursors normally used for this purpose should be avoided. A technology was sought that would make it possible to fix the coloring compounds known from the state of the art (such as direct dyes) to the hair in an extremely permanent way. However, the feel and combability of the hair should not be negatively affected. Even after coloring, the hair should still have a high gloss, be easy to comb and feel soft.
Compositions, multicomponent packaging units (kits-of-parts), and methods for dyeing keratinous material are provided herein. In an exemplary embodiment, the composition comprises, in a cosmetic carrier, at least one organic silicon compound selected from silanes having one, two or three silicon atoms, said organic silicon compound further comprising one or more basic chemical functions and one or more hydroxyl groups or hydrolysable groups per molecule, at least one direct dye, and at least one film-forming hydrophobic polymer.
The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the disclosure or the application and uses of the subject matter as described herein. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any theory presented in the preceding background or the following detailed description.
Surprisingly, it has now been shown that the above-mentioned task can be achieved when keratinous materials, in particular hair, are dyed with an agent containing, in a cosmetic carrier, at least one specific organic silicon compound, at least one direct dye and at least one film-forming hydrophobic polymer.
A first object of the present disclosure is therefore an agent for coloring keratinous material, in particular human hair, containing in a cosmetic carrier
(a) at least one organic silicon compound selected from silanes having one, two or three silicon atoms, said organic silicon compound further comprising one or more basic chemical functions and one or more hydroxyl groups or hydrolysable groups per molecule,
(b) at least one direct dye; and
(c) at least one film-forming hydrophobic polymer.
It was found that the combination of the present disclosure's organic silicon compound (a) and hydrophobic film-forming polymer (c) can fix the direct dyes (b) to the keratin fibers in a particularly permanent and long-lasting manner. Since the direct dyes have a higher solubility in water, they are not present in the form of particles but in dissolved form. For this reason, they do not weigh down the hair in an undesirable way but are deposited evenly on the surface of the keratin fibers or diffuse into the fibers.
Agent for Dyeing Keratinous Material
Keratinous material includes hair, skin, nails (such as fingernails and/or toenails). Wool, furs, and feathers also fall under the definition of keratinous material.
Preferably, keratinous material is understood to be human hair, human skin, and human nails, especially fingernails and toenails. Keratinous material is understood to be human hair.
The compositions as contemplated herein contain the compounds (a), (b) and (c) essential to the present disclosure in a cosmetic carrier, preferably in a suitable aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic carrier. For hair coloration, such carriers are, for example, creams, emulsions, gels, or surfactant-containing foaming solutions, such as shampoos, foam aerosols, foam formulations or other preparations suitable for application to the hair.
The cosmetic carrier preferably contains water, which means that the carrier contains at least about 2% by weight of water based on its weight. Preferably, the water content is above about 5 wt. %, further preferably above about 10 wt. % still further preferably above about 15 wt. %. The cosmetic carrier can also be aqueous alcoholic. [0206] Aqueous/alcoholic solutions in the context of the present disclosure are aqueous solutions containing from about 2 to about 70% by weight of a C1-C4 alcohol, more particularly ethanol or isopropanol. The agents as contemplated herein may additionally contain other organic solvents, such as methoxy butanol, benzyl alcohol, ethyl diglycol or 1,2-propylene glycol. Preferred are all water-soluble organic solvents.
The cosmetic carrier can also be aqueous alcoholic. During this dyeing process, the direct dyes are deposited in a particularly homogeneous and smooth film on the surface of the keratin material or diffuse into the keratin fibers. The film is formed in situ by oligomerization or polymerization of the organic silicon compound(s) and by the interaction of direct dye and organic silicon compound with the hydrophobic, film-forming polymer.

Organic silicon compounds, alternatively called organosilicon compounds, are compounds which either have a direct silicon-carbon bond (Si—C) or in which the carbon is bonded to the silicon atom via an oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur atom. The organic silicon compounds as contemplated herein are compounds containing one to three silicon atoms. Organic silicon compounds preferably contain one or two silicon atoms.
The organic silicon compounds (a) contain at least one basic group. This basic group can be, for example, an amino group, an alkylamino group or a dialkylamino group, which is preferably connected to a silicon atom via a linker.

Furthermore, the organic silicon compounds include at least one hydroxy group or a hydrolysable group. The hydrolysable group(s) is (are) preferably a C1-C6 alkoxy group, especially an ethoxy group or a methoxy group. It is preferred when the hydrolysable group is directly bonded to the silicon atom. For example, if the hydrolysable group is an ethoxy group, the organic silicon compound preferably contains a structural unit R′R″R′″Si—O—CH2-CH3. The residues R′, R″ and R′″ represent the three remaining free valences of the silicon atom.

In the central part of the molecule of formula (II) there are the groups -(A)e- and —[NR7-(A′)]f- and —[O-(A″)]g- and —[NR8-(A′″)]h-. Here, each of the radicals e, f, g, and h can independently of one another stand for the number 0 or 1, with the proviso that at least one of the radicals e, f, g, and h is different from 0. In other words, an organic silicon compound of formula (II) as contemplated herein contains at least one grouping from the group including -(A)- and —[NR7-(A′)]- and —[O-(A″)]- and —[NR8-(A′″)]-.

The radicals e, f, g, and h can independently stand for the number 0 or 1, whereby at least one radical from e, f, g, and h is different from zero. The abbreviations e, f, g and h thus define which of the groupings -(A)e- and —[NR7-(A′)]f- and —[O-(A″)]g- and —[NR8-(A′″)]h- are located in the middle part of the organic silicon compound of formula (II).
In this context, the presence of certain groupings has proved to be particularly beneficial in terms of increasing washability.

Direct Dyes
As a second essential ingredient (b), the means as contemplated herein contain at least direct dye.
Direct dyes are dyes that are applied directly to the hair and do not require an oxidative process to form the color. Direct dyes are usually nitro phenylene diamines, nitroaminophenols, azo dyes, anthraquinones, triarylmethane dyes or indophenols.
Direct dyes can be divided into anionic, cationic, and nonionic direct dyes.
The direct dyes within the meaning of the present disclosure have a solubility in water (about 760 mmHg) at about 25° C. of more than about 0.5 g/L and are therefore not to be regarded as pigments.
Preferably, the direct dyes within the meaning of the present disclosure have a solubility in water (about 760 mmHg) at about 25° C. of more than about 1.0 g/L. In particular, the direct dyes within the meaning of the present disclosure have a solubility in water (about 760 mmHg) at about 25° C. of more than about 1.5 g/L.
In the context of another version, a composition for coloring keratinous material, in particular human hair, containing, in a cosmetic carrier
(a) at least one organic silicon compound selected from silanes having one, two or three silicon atoms, said organic silicon compound further comprising one or more basic chemical functions and one or more hydroxyl groups or hydrolysable groups per molecule,
(b) at least one direct dye which has a solubility in water (about 760 mmHg) at about 25° C. of more than about 0.5 g/L, preferably more than about 1.0 g/L, particularly preferably more than about 1.5 g/L, and
(c) at least one film-forming hydrophobic polymer.
Suitable cationic direct dyes include Basic Blue 7, Basic Blue 26, Basic Violet 2 and Basic Violet 14, Basic Yellow 57, Basic Red 76, Basic Blue 16, Basic Blue 347 (Cationic Blue 347/Dystar), HC Blue No. 16, Basic Blue 99, Basic Brown 16, Basic Brown 17, Basic Yellow 57, Basic Yellow 87, Basic Orange 31, Basic Red 51 Basic Red 76.
As non-ionic direct dyes, non-ionic nitro and quinone dyes and neutral azo dyes can be used. Suitable non-ionic direct dyestuffs are those listed under the international designations or Trade names HC Yellow 2, HC Yellow 4, HC Yellow 5, HC Yellow 6, HC Yellow 12, HC Orange 1, Disperse Orange 3, HC Red 1, HC Red 3, HC Red 10, HC Red 11, HC Red 13, HC Red BN, HC Blue 2, HC Blue 11, HC Blue 12, Disperse Blue 3, HC Violet 1, Disperse Violet 1, Disperse Violet 4, Disperse Black 9 known compounds, as well as 1,4-diamino-2-nitrobenzene, 2-amino-4-nitrophenol, 1,4-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-amino-2-nitrobenzene, 3-nitro-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-aminophenol 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)amino-4,6-dinitrophenol, 4-[(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-3-nitro-1-methylbenzene, 1-amino-4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-amino-5-chloro-2-nitrobenzene, 4-amino-3-nitrophenol, 1-(2′-ureidoethyl)amino-4-nitrobenzene, 2-[(4-amino-2-nitrophenyl)amino]benzoic acid, 6-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline, 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, picramic acid and its salts, 2-amino-6-chloro-4-nitrophenol, 4-ethylamino-3-nitrobenzoic acid and 2-chloro-6-ethylamino-4-nitrophenol.
In the course of the work leading to this present disclosure, it has been found that dyes with particularly high color intensity can be produced, with agents containing (b) at least one anionic direct dye.
In an explicitly particularly preferred embodiment, an agent as contemplated herein contains (b) at least one anionic direct dye.
Anionic direct dyes are also called acid dyes. Acid dyes are direct dyes that have at least one carboxylic acid group (—COOH) and/or one sulphonic acid group (—SO3H). Depending on the pH value, the protonated forms (—COOH, —SO3H) of the carboxylic acid or sulphonic acid groups are in equilibrium with their deprotonated forms (—COO−, —SO3− present). The proportion of protonated forms increases with decreasing pH. If direct dyes are used in the form of their salts, the carboxylic acid groups or sulphonic acid groups are present in deprotonated form and are neutralized with corresponding stoichiometric equivalents of cations to maintain electro neutrality. Inventive acid dyes can also be used in the form of their sodium salts and/or their potassium salts.
The acid dyes within the meaning of the present disclosure have a solubility in water (about 760 mmHg) at about 25° C. of more than about 0.5 g/L and are therefore not to be regarded as pigments. Preferably the acid dyes within the meaning of the present disclosure have a solubility in water (about 760 mmHg) at about 25° C. of more than about 1.0 g/L.
The alkaline earth salts (such as calcium salts and magnesium salts) or aluminum salts of acid dyes often have a lower solubility than the corresponding alkali salts. If the solubility of these salts is below about 0.5 g/L (about 25° C., about 760 mmHg), they are not covered by the present disclosure.
An essential characteristic of acid dyes is their ability to form anionic charges, whereby the carboxylic acid or sulphonic acid groups responsible for this are usually linked to different chromophoric systems. Suitable chromophoric systems can be found, for example, in the structures of nitrophenylenediamines, nitroaminophenols, azo dyes, anthraquinone dyes, triarylmethane dyes, xanthene dyes, rhodamine dyes, oxazine dyes and/or indophenol dyes.
In the context of an embodiment, an agent for coloring keratinous material is thus preferred, which

For example, the water solubility of anionic direct dyes can be determined in the following way. about 0.1 g of the anionic direct dye is placed in a beaker. A stir-fish is added. Then add about 100 ml of water. This mixture is heated to about 25° C. on a magnetic stirrer while stirring. It is stirred for about 60 minutes. The aqueous mixture is then visually assessed. If there are still undissolved residues, the amount of water is increased—for example in steps of about 10 ml. Water is added until the amount of dye used is completely dissolved. If the dye-water mixture cannot be assessed visually due to the high intensity of the dye, the mixture is filtered. If a proportion of undissolved dyes remains on the filter paper, the solubility test is repeated with a higher quantity of water. If about 0.1 g of the anionic direct dye dissolves in about 100 ml water at about 25° C., the solubility of the dye is about 1.0 g/L.

In a further preferred embodiment, an agent as contemplated herein contains—based on its total weight—one or more direct dyes (b) in a total amount of from about 0.01 to about 10.0% by weight, preferably from about 0.1 to about 8.0% by weight, more preferably from about 0.2 to about 6.0% by weight and very particularly preferably from about 0.5 to about 4.5% by weight.
In a further preferred version, an agent as contemplated herein contains—based on its total weight—one or more anionic direct-acting dyes (b) in a total amount of from about 0.01 to about 10.0% by weight, preferably from about 0.1 to about 8.0% by weight, more preferably from about 0.2 to about 6.0% by weight and very particularly preferably from about 0.5 to about 4.5% by weight.
Film Forming, Hydrophobic Polymer
As the third constituent essential to the present disclosure (c), the means as contemplated herein contain at least one film-forming, hydrophobic polymer.
Polymers are macromolecules with a molecular weight of at least about 1000 g/mol, preferably of at least about 2500 g/mol, particularly preferably of at least about 5000 g/mol, which includes identical, repeating organic units. The polymers of the present disclosure may be synthetically produced polymers which are manufactured by polymerization of one type of monomer or by polymerization of different types of monomer which are structurally different from each other. If the polymer is produced by polymerizing a type of monomer, it is called a homo-polymer. If structurally different monomer types are used in polymerization, the resulting polymer is called a copolymer.
The maximum molecular weight of the polymer depends on the degree of polymerization (number of polymerized monomers) and the batch size and is determined by the polymerization method. For the purposes of the present disclosure, it is preferred that the maximum molecular weight of the film-forming hydrophobic polymer (c) is not more than about 107 g/mol, preferably not more than about 106 g/mol and particularly preferably not more than about 105 g/mol.
A hydrophobic polymer is a polymer that has a solubility in water at about 25° C. (about 760 mmHg) of less than about 1% by weight.
The water solubility of the film-forming, hydrophobic polymer can be determined in the following way, for example. about 1.0 g of the polymer is placed in a beaker. Make up to about 100 g with water. A stir-fish is added, and the mixture is heated to about 25° C. on a magnetic stirrer while stirring. It is stirred for about 60 minutes. The aqueous mixture is then visually assessed. If the polymer-water mixture cannot be assessed visually due to a high turbidity of the mixture, the mixture is filtered. If a proportion of undissolved polymer remains on the filter paper, the solubility of the polymer is less than about 1% by weight.
As contemplated herein, a film-forming polymer is a polymer which can form a film on a substrate, for example on a keratinic material or a keratinic fiber. The formation of a film can be demonstrated, for example, by looking at the keratin material treated with the polymer under a microscope.
These include acrylic acid-type polymers, polyurethanes, polyesters, polyamides, polyureas, cellulose polymers, nitrocellulose polymers, silicone polymers, acrylamide-type polymers, and polyisoprenes.
Particularly well suited film-forming, hydrophobic polymers are, for example, polymers from the group of copolymers of acrylic acid, copolymers of methacrylic acid, homopolymers or copolymers of acrylic acid esters, homopolymers or copolymers of methacrylic acid esters, homopolymers or copolymers of acrylic acid amides, homopolymers or copolymers of methacrylic acid amides, copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone, copolymers of vinyl alcohol, copolymers of vinyl acetate, homopolymers or copolymers of ethylene, homopolymers or copolymers of propylene, homopolymers or copolymers of styrene, polyurethanes, polyesters and/or polyamides.

The film-forming hydrophobic polymers, which are selected from the group of synthetic polymers, polymers obtainable by radical polymerization or natural polymers, have proved to be particularly suitable for solving the problem as contemplated herein.
Other particularly well suited film-forming hydrophobic polymers can be selected from the homopolymers or copolymers of olefins, such as cycloolefins, butadiene, isoprene or styrene, vinyl ethers, vinylamides, the esters or amides of (meth)acrylic acid with at least one C1-C20 alkyl group, an aryl group or a C2-C10 hydroxyalkyl group.
Other film-forming hydrophobic polymers may be selected from the homo- or copolymers of isooctyl (meth)acrylate; isonononyl (meth)acrylate; 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate; lauryl (meth)acrylate; isopentyl (meth)acrylate; n-butyl (meth)acrylate); isobutyl (meth)acrylate; ethyl (meth)acrylate; methyl (meth)acrylate; tert-butyl (meth)acrylate; stearyl (meth)acrylate; hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate; 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate; 3-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate and/or mixtures thereof.
Other film-forming hydrophobic polymers may be selected from the homo- or copolymers of (meth)acrylamide; N-alkyl-(meth)acrylamides, in particular those with C2-C18 alkyl groups, such as N-ethyl-acrylamide, N-tert-butyl-acrylamide, le N-octyl-crylamide; N-di(C1-C4)alkyl-(meth)acrylamide.
Other preferred anionic copolymers are, for example, copolymers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or their C1-C6 alkyl esters, as they are marketed under the INCI Declaration Acrylates Copolymers. A suitable commercial product is for example Aculyn® 33 from Rohm & Haas. Copolymers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or their C1-C6 alkyl esters and the esters of an ethylenically unsaturated acid and an alkoxylated fatty alcohol are also preferred. Suitable ethylenically unsaturated acids are especially acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and itaconic acid; suitable alkoxylated fatty alcohols are especially steareth-20 or ceteth-20.
Some of the most preferred polymers on the market are Aculyn® 22 (acrylates/steareth-20 methacrylate copolymer), Aculyn® 28 (acrylates/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer), Structure 2001® (acryla-tes/steareth-20 itaconate copolymer), Structure 3001® (acrylates/eteth-20 itaconate copolymer), Structure Plus® (Acrylates/Aminoacrylates C10-30 Alkyl PEG-20 Itaconate Copolymer), Carbopol® 1342, 1382, Ultrez 20, Ultrez 21 (Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylates Crosspolymer), Synthalen W 2000® (Acrylates/Palmeth-25 Acrylates Copolymer) or the Soltex OPT (Acrylates/C12-22 Alkyl Methacrylate Copolymer) distributed by Rohme and Haas.
The homo- and copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone, vinylcaprolactam, vinyl-(C1-C6)alkyl-pyrrole, vinyl-oxazole, vinyl-thiazole, vinylpyrimidine, vinylimidazole can be named as suitable polymers based on vinyl monomers.
Furthermore, the copolymers octylacrylamide/acrylates/butylaminoethyl-methacrylate copolymer, as commercially marketed under the trade names AMPHOMER® or LOVOCRYL® 47 by NATIONAL STARCH, or the copolymers of acrylates/octylacrylamides marketed under the trade names DERMACRYL® LT and DERMACRYL® 79 by NATIONAL STARCH are particularly suitable.
Suitable olefin-based polymers include homopolymers and copolymers of ethylene, propylene, butene, isoprene and butadiene.
In another version, block copoylmers can be used as film-forming hydrophobic polymers, which comprise at least one block of styrene or the derivatives of styrene. These block copolymers can be copolymers that contain one or more other blocks in addition to a styrene block, such as styrene/ethylene, styrene/ethylene/butylene, styrene/butylene, styrene/isoprene, styrene/butadiene. Such polymers are commercially distributed by BASF under the trade name “Luvitol HSB”.
Surprisingly, it turned out that particularly good dyeing's can be obtained with the anionic direct dyes, if the film-forming hydrophobic polymer also carries anionic charges.
In a further explicitly particularly preferred embodiment, an agent as contemplated herein contains (c) at least one anionic, film-forming, hydrophobic polymer.
An anionic polymer is a polymer comprising repeating units having at least one carboxylic acid group, one sulphonic acid group and/or their physiologically acceptable salts. In other words, an anionic polymer is made from monomers having at least one carboxylic acid group, a sulphonic acid group. In this context, the hydrophobic, film-forming copolymers of acrylic acid and the copolymers of methacrylic acid are particularly preferred. The polymers in this group contain the carboxylic acid groups, the sulphonic acid groups or their salts in an amount that ensures that the hydrophobic character of the whole polymer is maintained.
The film-forming hydrophobic polymer or polymers (c) as contemplated herein are preferably used in certain quantity ranges in the means as contemplated herein. In this context, it has proved to be particularly preferred for the solution of the task as contemplated herein if the agent—based on its total weight—contains one or more polymers in a total amount of from about 0.1 to about 25.0% by weight, preferably from about 0.2 to about 20.0% by weight, further preferably from about 0.5 to about 15.0% by weight and very particularly preferably from about 1.0 to about 7.0% by weight.
In a further preferred embodiment, an agent as contemplated herein contains—based on its total weight—one or more film-forming hydrophobic polymers (b) in a total amount of from about 0.1 to about 25.0% by weight, preferably from about 0.2 to about 20.0% by weight, more preferably from about 0.5 to about 15.0% by weight and very particularly preferably from about 1.0 to about 7.0% by weight.
Water Content of the Agents
The composition as contemplated herein contains the essential ingredients (a), (b) and (c) in a cosmetic carrier, preferably in an aqueous or water-containing cosmetic carrier.
Without being bound to this theory, it is assumed that the organic silicon compound (a),
which comprises one or more hydroxyl groups or hydrolysable groups per molecule, is hydrolyzed and/or oligomerized in the presence of the water. The resulting hydrolysis products or oligomers have a particularly high affinity to the surface of the Keratin material. The direct dyes (b), especially the anionic direct dyes, together with the film-forming, hydrophobic polymer (c) can thus form a particularly stable and resistant film. In this context, it has proved to be particularly preferable if the agent—based on its total weight—has a water content of from about 15 to about 95% by weight, preferably from about 20 to about 95% by weight, more preferably from about 25 to about 95% by weight, still more preferably from about 30 to about 95% by weight and very preferably from about 45 to about 95% by weight.
In a further explicitly very particularly preferred form of execution, an agent as contemplated herein has—based on its total weight—a water content of from about 15 to about 95% by weight, preferably of from about 20 to about 95% by weight, more preferably of from about 25 to about 95% by weight, still more preferably of from about 30 to about 95% by weight and very particularly preferably of from about 45 to about 95% by weight.
Multi-Component Packaging Unit (Kit-of-Parts)
The agent of the first subject of the present disclosure described above is the coloring agent ready for use. Together with the organic silicon compound(s), it contains (a) a class of reactive compounds which can undergo hydrolysis and/or oligomerization in the presence of water as described above.
To increase storage stability, this agent is preferably provided to the user in the form of a multi-component packaging unit (kit-of-parts). Shortly before application on the keratinous material, the user can mix the different components of this packaging unit to produce the ready-to-use dye.
A second object of the present disclosure is a multi-component packaging unit (kit-of-parts) for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair, which separately includes
a first container containing a cosmetic product (I) and
a second container containing a cosmetic product (II) and
a third container containing a cosmetic product (III),
where
the means (I) contains at least one organic silicon compound (a) as already disclosed in detail in the description of the first subject matter of the present disclosure,
the agent (II) contains water and
the agent (III) contains at least one direct dye (b) and at least one film-forming hydrophobic polymer (c), as already disclosed in detail in the description of the first subject matter of the present disclosure.
In a particularly preferred version, the ready-to-use dye is produced by mixing agents (I), (II) and (III). In this version, all three agents (I), (II) and (III) are applied simultaneously to the keratinous material.
For example, the user can first mix or shake the agent (I) containing the organic silicon compound(s) (a) with the water-containing agent (II). The user can then add agent (III) containing the direct dye(s) (b) and the film-forming hydrophobic polymer(s) (c) to the mixture of (I) and (II) and mix all three agents together.
In another particularly preferred version, it is also possible to apply agents (I), (II) and (III) successively on the keratinous material, so that the agents interact with each other only on the keratinous material.
For example, the user can first mix or shake the agent (I) containing the organic silicon compound(s) (a) with the water-containing agent (II). The user can now apply this mixture of (I) and (II) to the keratin materials—either directly after their production or after a short reaction time of from about 10 seconds to about 20 minutes. The user can then apply agent (III), which contains direct dye (b) and film-forming hydrophobic polymer (c), to the keratin material.
Agent (I) contains at least one organic silicon compound (a) as already disclosed in detail in the description of the first subject matter of the present disclosure. Thus the composition (I) contains at least one organic silicon compound (a) selected from silanes having one, two or three silicon atoms, the organic silicon compound further comprising one or more basic chemical functions and one or more hydroxyl groups or hydrolysable groups per molecule. With preference, agent (I) contains at least one organic silicon compound (a) of formula (I) and/or (II), where the radicals may represent the, preferred and particularly preferred substitutes. As organic silicon compound (a) the substances already mentioned can also be used.
To provide a formulation that is as stable as possible during storage, the agent (I) itself is preferably packaged with low or no water.

Agent (II) contains water. A multi-component packaging unit (kit-of-parts) as contemplated herein the agent (II)—based on the total weight of the agent (II)—has a water content of from about 15 to about 100% by weight, preferably of from about 35 to about 100% by weight, more preferably of from about 55 to about 100% by weight, still more preferably of from about 65 to about 100% by weight and very particularly preferably of from about 75 to about 100% by weight.
Agent (III) contains at least one direct dye (b) and at least one film-forming hydrophobic polymer (c), as already disclosed in detail in the description of the first subject matter of the present disclosure.
In a particularly preferred form, the agent (III) contains the above-mentioned, the preferred and the particularly preferred direct dyes (b).
In a further preferred design, a multi-component packaging unit as contemplated herein the agent (III) contains—based on the total weight of the agent (III)—one or more direct-acting dyes (b) in a total amount of from about 0.01 to about 10.0% by weight, preferably from about 0.1 to about 8.0% by weight, more preferably from about 0.2 to about 6.0% by weight and very particularly preferably from about 0.5 to about 4.5% by weight.
In a particularly preferred form, the agent (III) contains the, the preferred and the particularly preferred film-forming hydrophobic polymers (c).
In a further preferred embodiment, a multi-component packaging unit as contemplated herein the agent (III) contains—based on the total weight of agent (III)—one or more film-forming hydrophobic polymers (b) in a total amount of from about 0.1 to about 25.0% by weight, preferably from about 0.2 to about 20.0% by weight, more preferably from about 0.5 to about 15.0% by weight and very particularly preferably from about 1.0 to about 7.0% by weight.
Agents (I) and (II) or agents (I), (II) and (III) can be mixed in different quantities. For example, the first container may contain from about 5 g to about 200 g of the agent (I). The second container can contain from about 5 g to about 200 g of the agent (II). The third container can contain from about 5 b to about 200 g of the agent (III).
Other Ingredients
The means described above, i.e. the ready-to-use employing the first subject matter of the present disclosure, and also means (I), (II) and (III) of the inventive kit of the second subject matter of the present disclosure, may also contain one or more optional ingredients.
The products may also contain one or more surfactants. The term surfactants refer to surface-active substances. A distinction is made between anionic surfactants including a hydrophobic residue and a negatively charged hydrophilic head group, amphoteric surfactants, which carry both a negative and a compensating positive charge, cationic surfactants, which in addition to a hydrophobic residue have a positively charged hydrophilic group, and non-ionic surfactants, which have no charges but strong dipole moments and are strongly hydrated in aqueous solution.
Zwitterionic surfactants are those surface-active compounds which carry at least one quaternary ammonium group and at least one —COO(−)— or —SO3(−) group in the molecule. Particularly suitable zwitterionic surfactants are the so-called betaines such as the N-alkyl-N,N-dimethylammonium-glycinate, for example the cocoalkyl-dimethylammoniumglycinate, N-acylaminopropyl-N,N-dimethylammoniumglycinate, for example, cocoacylaminopropyl dimethyl ammonium glycinate, and 2-alkyl-3-carboxymethyl-3-hydroxyethyl imidazolines each having 8 to 18 C atoms in the alkyl or acyl group, and cocoacylaminoethyl hydroxyethyl carboxymethyl glycinate. A preferred zwitterionic surfactant is the fatty acid amide derivative known under the INCI name cocamidopropyl betaine.
Ampholytic surfactants are surface-active compounds which, apart from a C8-C24 alkyl or acyl group, contain at least one free amino group and at least one —COOH— or —SO3H group in the molecule and can form internal salts. Examples of suitable ampholytic surfactants are N-alkylglycines, N-alkylpropionic acids, N-alkylaminobutyric acids, N-alkyliminodipropionic acids, N-hydroxyethyl-N-alkylamidopropylglycines, N-alkyltaurines, N-alkylsarcosines, 2-alkylaminopropionic acids and alkylaminoacetic acids each with about 8 to 24 C atoms in the alkyl group. Typical examples of amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants are alkylbetaines, alkylamidobetaines, amino propionates, aminoglycinate, imidazoliniumbetaines and sulfobetaines.
Particularly preferred ampholytic surfactants are N-cocoalkylaminopropionate, cocoacylaminoethylaminopropionate and C12-C18 acylsarcosine.
The products may also additionally contain at least one non-ionic surfactant. Suitable non-ionic surfactants are alkyl polyglycosides as well as alkylene oxide addition products to fatty alcohols and fatty acids with 2 to 30 mol ethylene oxide per mol fatty alcohol or fatty acid. Preparations with good properties are also obtained if they contain as non-ionic surfactants fatty acid esters of ethoxylated glycerol reacted with at least 2 mol ethylene oxide. The non-ionic surfactants are used in a total quantity of from about 0.1 to about 45% by weight, preferably from about 1 to about 30% by weight and very preferably from about 1 to about 15% by weight—based on the total weight of the respective agent.
In addition, the products may also contain at least one cationic surfactant. Cationic surfactants are surfactants, i.e. surface-active compounds, each with one or more positive charges. Cationic surfactants contain only positive charges. Usually these surfactants are composed of a hydrophobic part and a hydrophilic head group, the hydrophobic part usually including a hydrocarbon backbone (e.g. including one or two linear or branched alkyl chains) and the positive charge(s) being located in the hydrophilic head group. Examples of cationic surfactants are
quaternary ammonium compounds which, as hydrophobic radicals, may carry one or two alkyl chains with a chain length of 8 to 28 C atoms,
quaternary phosphonium salts substituted with one or more alkyl chains with a chain length of 8 to 28 C atoms or
tertiary sulfonium salts.
Furthermore, the cationic charge can also be part of a heterocyclic ring (e.g. an imidazolium ring or a pyridinium ring) in the form of an onium structure. In addition to the functional unit carrying the cationic charge, the cationic surfactant may also contain other uncharged functional groups, as is the case for example with esterquats. The cationic surfactants are used in a total quantity of from about 0.1 to about 45 wt. %, preferably from about 1 to about 30 wt. % and most preferably from about 1 to about 15 wt. %—based on the total weight of the respective agent.
Furthermore, the means as contemplated herein may also contain at least one anionic surfactant. Anionic surfactants are surface-active agents with exclusively anionic charges (neutralized by a corresponding counter cation). Examples of anionic surfactants are fatty acids, alkyl sulphates, alkyl ether sulphates and ether carboxylic acids with 12 to 20 C atoms in the alkyl group and up to 16 glycol ether groups in the molecule.

Process for Dyeing Keratin Materials
The agents described above—both the ready-to-use agent of the first subject-matter of the present disclosure and the agents of the multi-component packaging unit of the second subject-matter of the present disclosure—are used in processes for dyeing keratinous materials, in particular for dyeing human hair.
A third subject of the present disclosure is a process for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps in the order indicated:
(1) Application of a pre-treatment agent (V) to the keratinous material, the pre-treatment agent (V) containing, in an aqueous cosmetic carrier, at least one organic silicon compound (a) as already disclosed in detail in the description of the first subject-matter of the present disclosure,
(2) Application of a coloring agent (F) to the keratinous material, the coloring agent comprising at least one direct dye (b) and at least one film-forming hydrophobic polymer (c), as already disclosed in detail in the description of the first subject-matter of the present disclosure.
In other words, a third subject-matter of the present disclosure is a process for coloring keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps in the order indicated:
(1) application of a pretreatment agent (V) to the keratinous material, the said pretreatment agent (V) comprising, in a water-containing cosmetic carrier, at least one organic silicon compound (a) chosen from silanes containing one, two or three silicon atoms, the said organic silicon compound also comprising one or more basic chemical functions and one or more hydroxyl or hydrolysable groups per molecule, and
(2) Application of a coloring agent (F) to the keratinous material, the coloring agent comprising at least one direct dye (b) and at least one film-forming hydrophobic polymer (c).
In other words, a third subject-matter of the present disclosure is a process for coloring keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps in the order indicated:
(1) application of a pretreatment agent (V) to the keratinous material, the said pretreatment agent (V) comprising, in a water-containing cosmetic carrier, at least one organic silicon compound (a) chosen from silanes containing one, two or three silicon atoms, the said organic silicon compound also comprising one or more basic chemical functions and one or more hydroxyl or hydrolysable groups per molecule, and
(2) Application of a coloring agent (F) to the keratinous material, the coloring agent comprising at least one anionic direct dye (b) and at least one anionic film-forming hydrophobic polymer (c).
In the process as contemplated herein, the keratin materials, in particular human hair, are first treated with a pretreatment agent (V). Subsequently, the actual dye (F)—which contains the film-forming hydrophobic polymer and the direct dye(s)—is applied to the keratin materials.
Preferably, the pretreatment agent (V) itself does not contain any dyes or coloring compounds. The pre-treatment agent (V) is exemplified by its content of at least one reactive organic silicon compound (a). Without being limited to this theory, it is believed that the organic silicon compounds (a) functionalize the hair surface as soon as they meet it. In this way a first, still uncolored film or layer is formed. In the second step of the process, a coloring agent (F) is now applied to the hair. During the application of the dye (F) on the keratin materials, a film is also formed on the—now already functionalized—hair surface, whereby the direct dyes are now embedded in the film and thus deposited on the hair. The film produced “in situ” in this way, in which the direct-drawing dyes are embedded, is exemplified by outstanding wash fastness and a homogeneous color result. The colors are shiny, and the feel of the dyed keratin materials is smooth and pleasant.
The pre-treatment agent (V) represents the pre-treatment agent (V) ready for use. In particular, the pre-treatment agent (V) is a mixture of agents (I) and (II) of the multi-component packaging unit as contemplated herein. The pretreatment agent (V) thus contains at least one organic silicon compound (a) selected from silanes having one, two or three silicon atoms, the organic silicon compound further comprising one or more basic chemical functions and one or more hydroxyl groups or hydrolysable groups per molecule. Preferably the pretreatment agent (V) contains at least one organic silicon compound (a) of formula (I) and/or (II) described above,
whereby the residues may stand for the already mentioned, the preferred and the particularly preferred substituents.
Furthermore, the pre-treatment agent (V) contains water, whereby the water preferably comes from the agent (II) of the kit-of-parts as contemplated herein.
In a particularly preferred embodiment, a process as contemplated herein is exemplified in that the pre-treatment agent (V) is prepared before application to the keratinous material by mixing a first agent (I) and a second agent (II), wherein
the means (I) contains at least one organic silicon compound (a) as disclosed in detail in the description of the first and second subject matter of the present disclosure, and
the agent (II) contains water.
It is preferred if the pre-treatment agent (V)—based on the total weight of the pre-treatment agent (V)—has a water content of from about 15 to about 95% by weight, preferably of from about 20 to about 95% by weight, more preferably of from about 25 to about 95% by weight, still more preferably of from about 30 to about 95% by weight and very particularly preferably of from about 45 to about 95% by weight.
In a further very particularly preferred form of execution, a process as contemplated herein is exemplified in that the pre-treatment agent (V)—based on the total weight of the pre-treatment agent—has a water content of from about 15 to about 95% by weight, preferably of from about 20 to about 95% by weight, more preferably of from about 25 to about 95% by weight, still more preferably of from about 30 to about 95% by weight and very particularly preferably of from about 45 to about 95% by weight.
Especially resistant dyeing's could be obtained by using an alkaline pre-treatment agent (V). Preferably, the pretreatment agent (V) has a pH value of from about 7.0 to about 11.5, preferably from about 7.5 to about 11.0 and particularly preferably from about 8.0 to about 10.5.

To adjust these alkaline pH values, the pre-treatment agent (V) preferably contains at least one alkalizing agent, which is added in a quantity that ensures the adjustment of the optimal pH value for the respective hair treatment. The pH values for the purposes of the present disclosure are pH values measured at a temperature of about 22° C.

1. Formulations
The following formulations have been produced (unless otherwise indicated, all figures are in % by weight)
Pretreatment Agent (V)
By mixing about 0.3 g of agent (I) and about 100 g of agent (II), the pre-treatment agent (V) was prepared ready for use. This involved shaking agents (I) and (II) together for about 3 minutes. Then the pre-treatment agent (V) was left to stand for about 5 minutes. The pH value of the ready-to-use pre-treatment agent (V) was about 10.
2. Application
One strand of hair at a time (Kerling, Euronature hair white) was dipped into the pre-treatment agent (V) and left there for about 1 minute. Afterwards, excess pre-treatment agent was stripped from each strand of hair. Each strand of hair was washed out with water. Excess water was scraped off each strand of hair.
The strands of hair were then each dipped in one of the dyes (F) and left there for about 1 minute.
The strands of hair were then each wetted with a small amount of the conditioner and then rinsed with water and dried. Afterwards the strands were visually evaluated.
