ODOR-REDUCING DEVELOPER FOR OXIDATION DYES II

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present patent application relates to compositions that are suitable as oxidizing agents for soap gel-based hair lightener preparations and/or hair dye preparations, wherein the soap gel-based hair lightener preparations and/or hair dye preparations contain ammonia and/or ammonium hydroxide as the alkalizing agent and optionally at least one oxidative dye precursor and have a pH in the range of from about 8 to about 11.5, measured at 20° C.

BACKGROUND

The application properties of the application mixture, in particular the release of ammonia and the odor of ammonia, can be reduced significantly with the oxidizing agents as contemplated herein.

Another subject matter of the present application relates to agents for changing the color of keratinic fibers, which can be prepared from two separate compositions by mixing the two compositions, wherein one of the two compositions is an oxidative composition according to the first subject matter of the application, and the second composition is a soap gel-based hair lightener and/or hair coloring preparation containing ammonia as an alkalizing agent and optionally at least one oxidative dye precursor and having a pH in the range of from about 8 to about 11.5, measured at 20° C., and also preferably containing, each based on its weight, from about 25-85% by weight water, also from about 5-20% by weight, preferably from about 8-16% by weight, of at least one salt of a C₁₂-C₂₂fatty acid, preferably a salt of oleic acid, optionally from about 0.1-3% by weight of an anionic surfactant, selected from alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates and ether carboxylic acids with from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and up to 16 glycol ether groups in the molecule, from about 2-20% by weight, preferably from about 3-16% by weight of at least one polyethylene glycol ether of a linear, saturated or unsaturated C₁₀-C₁₈alkanol with 1 to 5 ethanol oxide units in the molecule, a total of from about 0-1% by weight of at least one oil, preferably at least one organic solvent, selected from monovalent to tetravalent C₂-C₆alcohols, especially preferably in a total amount of from about 0.1-35% by weight and optionally at least one oxidation dye precursor, wherein all the quantitative amounts are based on the weight of the composition (A).

Another subject matter of the present disclosure relates to a kit for an oxidative color change of keratinic fibers comprising a soap gel-based, optionally dye-containing and ammonia-containing alkalizing preparation and an aqueous hydrogen peroxide preparation, wherein the hydrogen peroxide preparation is optimized to the extent that the ready-to-use mixture of alkalizing gel and hydrogen peroxide preparation constitutes a viscous cream or paste having a viscosity in the range of from about 2000 to about 5000 mPas (for example, measured at 20° C. with a model MV2 Haake viscometer at a rate of 8 revolutions per minute), which can be applied well to the fibers that are to be dyed or lightened and has a reduced release of ammonia during the application time of from about 5 to about 60 minutes.

Another subject matter of the present disclosure relates to a method for oxidative color change of keratinic fibers, wherein the ready-to-use lightener and/or coloring agent is prepared by mixing the components of the aforementioned kit immediately before use and then applying the preparation to the fibers, in particular hair, and rinsing it out again after a treatment time of from about 5 to about 60 minutes.

The present disclosure relates to an oxidative color change on keratinic fibers, in particular hair. Melanin, the endogenous coloring substance in hair, is destroyed to a certain extent in the treatment of keratinic fibers, in particular hair, using oxidizing agents, in particular hydrogen peroxide, so the fibers/hair are necessarily lightened, i.e., they change the color even in the absence of a coloring agent. Therefore, the term “color change” in the sense of the present patent application is understood to refer to lightening as well as dyeing using one or more coloring agents.

Those skilled in the art are familiar with various methods for changing the color of human hair. In general, either direct dyes or oxidative dyes are used for coloring human hair. Oxidative dyes are formed by oxidative coupling of one or more developer components to one another or to one or more coupler components. Coupler components and developer components are also known as oxidative dye precursors. Colorings produced using oxidative dyes are usually referred to as permanent or semipermanent colorings.

These agents usually contain hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizing agent. Since hydrogen peroxide in the alkaline pH range has inadequate stability in storage, oxidative dyes usually includes two components that are mixed together immediately prior to use. One component contains hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution or emulsion, and this composition for stabilization of hydrogen peroxide has an acidic pH in the range of from about 2.5 to about 5.5. The second component contains one or more alkalizing agents in an amount such that the application mixture including the two components has a pH in the range of from about 8 to about 11. If the alkalizing preparation does not contain a dye or contains only small amounts of dye, the latter serves to mask unwanted hues, which may be formed in the oxidation of melanin, then this is a lightener or bleach. However, the alkalizing preparation may also contain oxidative dye precursors and/or direct dyes. The resulting application mixture then serves as a coloring agent. In addition, there are also coloring kits and coloring methods, in which the application mixture includes two components has a pH in the range of approx. about 6 to about 7.9. However, the coloring results of these so-called “acidic” colorings often do not achieve the quality that is obtained with alkaline application mixtures.

For oxidative coloring of hair, preferably alkalizing preparations containing ammonia are used, in particular in the North American market. These preparations are available as a soap-based gel and in particular contain large amounts of soap, i.e., salts of fatty acids and optionally other surfactants but little or no fatty alcohols for example. When applied to hair, such formulations have a very strong ammonia odor in comparison with alkaline bleach creams or coloring creams that contain fatty alcohol.

In addition, the alkalizing preparations contain ammonia as an alkalizing agent and optionally contain at least one oxidative dye precursor and have a pH in the range of from about 8 to about 11.5, measured at 20° C.

In addition, alkalizing preparations preferably containing, based on their weight, from about 25-85% by weight water, also from about 5-20% by weight, preferably from about 8-16% by weight of at least one salt of a C₁₂-C₂₂fatty acid, preferably a salt of oleic acid, optionally from about 0.1-3% by weight of an anionic surfactant selected from alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates and ether carboxylic acids with 10 to 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and up to 16 glycol ether groups in the molecule, from about 2-20% by weight, preferably from about 3-16% by weight of at least one polyethylene glycol ether of a linear saturated or unsaturated C₁₀-C₁₈alkanol with from about 1 to about 5 ethylene oxide units in the molecule, a total of from about 0-1% by weight of at least one oil, preferably at least one organic solvent selected from monovalent to tetravalent C₂-C₆alcohols, especially preferably in a total amount of from about 0.1-35% by weight and optionally at least one oxidative dye precursor, wherein all the quantitative amounts are based on the weight of the composition (A).

For an oxidative hair color change, the alkalizing preparation is usually mixed with an aqueous oxidizing agent preparation, for example in a reclosable bottle or a shaking cup and the resulting application mixture is applied to the hair to be treated, where it remains for a treatment time of from about 5 to about 60 minutes before being rinsed off.

In the prior art, there are already various proposed solutions for reducing the ammonia odor of a hair treatment agent. For example, an alkanolamine, in particular a monoethanolamine, which is hardly volatile and does not have such a strong ammonia odor may be used instead of the ammonia. However, it has been found that the dye uptake capacity of the keratin fibers is best when ammonia is used. If the same color result is to be obtained with a monoethanolamine, then more hydrogen peroxide must be used or the application mixture must be left on the keratin fibers for a longer period of time. Ultimately the use of monoethanolamine also results in greater damage to the keratin fibers than ammonia.

Another possibility for reducing the odor of the application mixture is to mask the odor of ammonia with large amounts of perfume. However, this is difficult to achieve because of the very pungent odor of ammonia.
