The present invention relates to a process for dyeing or lightening keratin fibres such as the hair, using a composition in the form of a direct emulsion comprising at least 30% of oil(s) ii) and which contains i) at least one nonionic surfactant that is solid at room temperature, with an HLB of between 1.5 and 10, ii) at least one oil, iii) at least one or basifying agent, optionally iv) at least one additional surfactant, which is preferably nonionic, with an HLB of greater than 10, and optionally v) at least one dye an oxidizing composition, at least 25% of fatty substances. A subject of the present invention is also a multi-compartment device and a composition in the form of an oil-rich direct emulsion comprising ingredients i) to v) as defined previously.
Among the methods for dyeing human keratin fibres, such as the hair, mention may be made of oxidation dyeing or permanent dyeing. More particularly, this dyeing method uses one or more oxidation dyes, usually one or more oxidation bases optionally combined with one or more couplers.
In general, oxidation bases are chosen from ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols and heterocyclic compounds. These oxidation bases are colourless or weakly coloured compounds which, when combined with oxidizing products, can give access to coloured species.
The shades obtained with these oxidation bases are often varied by combining them with one or more couplers, these couplers being chosen especially from aromatic meta-diamines, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds, such as indole compounds.
The variety of molecules used as oxidation bases and couplers allows a wide range of colours to be obtained.
It is also possible to add to these compositions direct dyes, which are coloured, and colouring molecules that have affinity for fibres. The direct dyes generally used are chosen from nitrobenzene, anthraquinone, nitropyridine, azo, methine, azomethine, xanthene, acridine, azine and triarylmethane direct dyes. The presence of such compounds enables the obtained coloration to be further enriched with tints or enables the chromaticity of the obtained coloration to be increased.
Oxidation dyeing processes thus consist in using with these dye compositions a composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent, generally hydrogen peroxide, under alkaline pH conditions in the vast majority of cases. The role of this oxidizing agent is to reveal the coloration, via an oxidative condensation reaction between the oxidation dyes.
One of the difficulties arises from the fact that lightening processes are performed under alkaline conditions and that the alkaline agent most commonly used is aqueous ammonia. Aqueous ammonia is particularly advantageous in this type of process. Specifically, it enables adjustment of the pH of the composition to an alkaline pH in order to allow activation of the oxidizing agent. This agent also brings about swelling of the keratin fibre, with opening of the scales, which promotes the penetration of the oxidizing agent and of the oxidation dyes into the fibre and thus increases the efficacy of the reaction.
This basifying agent is highly volatile, and this causes unpleasantness to the user on account of the strong and fairly unpleasant characteristic odour of ammonia that is given off during the procedure.
Moreover, the amount of ammonia given off requires the use of levels which are greater than those necessary, in order to compensate for this loss. This is not without consequence for the user, who not only remains inconvenienced by the odour but may also be confronted with greater risks of intolerance, such as, for example, irritation of the scalp (stinging sensations).
The option purely and simply of replacing all or some of the aqueous ammonia with one or more other conventional basifying agents does not result in compositions that are as effective as those based on aqueous ammonia, particularly for the reason that these basifying agents do not provide sufficient lightening of pigmented fibres in the presence of the oxidizing agent or sufficient coloration in terms of intensity, power, chromaticity or homogeneity of the colour.
One of the objects of the present invention is to propose processes for dyeing and lightening keratin materials, especially keratin fibres such as the hair, which do not have the drawbacks of those used with the existing compositions, these drawbacks being caused by the presence of large amounts of ammonia, while at the same time remaining at least as efficient as regards the dyeing and lightening and the uniformity of this lightening.
Oxidation dyeing must moreover satisfy a certain number of requirements. Thus, it must be free of toxicological drawbacks, it must enable shades to be obtained in the desired intensity and it must show good resistance to external attacking factors such as light, bad weather, washing, permanent waving, perspiration and rubbing.
The dyeing process must also be make it possible to cover grey hair and, finally, must be as unselective as possible, i.e. it must produce the smallest possible colour differences along the same keratin fibre, which generally comprises areas that are differently sensitized (i.e. damaged) from its end to its root.
The compositions used in the dyeing process must also have good mixing and application properties on keratin fibres, and especially good rheological properties so as not to run down the face, onto the scalp or beyond the areas that it is proposed to dye, when they are applied.
Compositions in emulsion form must also be stable especially in terms of “phase separation”, i.e. not returning to two phases with the organic phase on one side and the aqueous phase on the other. Now, when a composition in direct emulsion form is oil-rich, i.e. comprising more than 30% by weight of oil relative to the total weight of the composition, instability of the emulsion often arises, in particular at high temperature.
As regards processes for lightening keratin fibres, use is made of aqueous compositions comprising at least one oxidizing agent, under alkaline pH conditions in the vast majority of cases. The role of this oxidizing agent is to degrade the melanin of the hair, which, depending on the nature of the oxidizing agent present, leads to more or less pronounced lightening of the fibres.
Many attempts have been made in the field of lightening hair dyeing in order to improve the dyeing properties, for example using adjuvants. However, the choice of these adjuvants is difficult insofar as they must improve the dyeing properties of dye compositions without harming the other properties of these compositions. In particular, these adjuvants must not harm the keratin fibre-lightening properties and the dye application properties.
Similar problems arise in the case of bleaching compositions, where the addition of particular adjuvants must not harm the lightening properties of the composition or the application properties of the composition, especially the rheological properties.
The aim of the present invention is to obtain novel processes for the dyeing and in particular for the oxidation dyeing or lightening of keratin fibres, which do not have the drawbacks of the prior art.
More particularly, the aim of the present invention is to obtain a process for the oxidation dyeing of keratin fibres, with improved dyeing properties, which can achieve the desired lightening and which are easy to prepare and to apply, and especially for which the mixture does not run but remains localized at the point of application. The term “improved dyeing properties” in particular means an improvement in the power/intensity and/or uniformity of the dyeing result.
Another aim of the invention is also to obtain a process for lightening human keratin fibres such as the hair, which can achieve the desired lightening, which is easy to prepare, to mix and to apply, and especially for which the mixture does not run but remains localized at the point of application, and which is odourless or has very little unpleasant odour.
Another aim of the invention is to obtain oil-rich direct emulsions that are stable especially with respect to temperature, even in the absence of a thickener.
These aims are achieved by the present invention, one subject of which is a process for dyeing or lightening keratin fibres, which consists in extemporaneously mixing at the time of use two compositions (A) and (B) and in applying the said mixture to the said fibres; the said mixture comprising at least 25% by weight of fatty substances relative to the total weight of the composition obtained from the mixing of two compositions (A)+(B); with:
The invention also relates to a process for dyeing or lightening human keratin fibres, which consists in using the abovementioned composition.
A subject of the invention is also composition (A) in direct emulsion form as defined previously.
Another subject of the invention is a ready-to-use composition, which comprises at least 25% by weight of fatty substances and comprising ingredients i) and ii), and optionally iii) and iv), as defined previously and at least one oxidizing agent.
A subject of the invention is, similarly, a device comprising at least two compartments containing, in a first compartment, composition (A) as defined previously and, in a second compartment, composition (B) as defined previously.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly on reading the description and the examples that follow.
In the text hereinbelow, unless otherwise indicated, the limits of a range of values are included in that range.
The human keratin fibres treated via the process according to the invention are preferably the hair.
The expression “at least one” is equivalent to the expression “one or more”.
The term “direct emulsion” means a microscopically heterogeneous and macroscopically homogeneous mixture of two mutually immiscible liquid substances of oil-in-water (O/W) type. The emulsion is composed of an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase.
For the purposes of the present invention, the term “emulsion” thus means true emulsions, which are to be distinguished from microemulsions, which are thermodynamically stable systems, unlike true emulsions. The size of the droplets of the dispersed phase of the emulsions of the invention is preferably between 10 nm and 100 μm and preferably between 200 nm and 50 μm. This is the mean diameter D(3.2), which may be measured especially using a laser granulometer.
The direct emulsion may be prepared via standard emulsion preparation processes that are well known to those skilled in the art.
The term “fatty substance” means an organic compound that is insoluble in water at ordinary temperature (25° C.) and at atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg) (solubility of less than 5%, preferably 1% and even more preferentially 0.1%). They have in their structure at least one hydrocarbon-based chain comprising at least 6 carbon atoms or a sequence of at least two siloxane groups. In addition, the fatty substances are generally soluble in organic solvents under the same temperature and pressure conditions, for instance chloroform, dichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride, ethanol, benzene, toluene, tetrahydrofuran (THF), liquid petroleum jelly or decamethylcyclopentasiloxane. The fatty substances of the invention are neither polyoxyalkylenated nor polyglycerolated.
The term “oxidizing agent” or “chemical oxidizing agent” according to the invention means an oxidizing agent other than atmospheric oxygen.
I—The Dyeing or Lightening Process of the Invention
The dyeing or lightening process according to the invention thus consists in applying the mixture of the two compositions (A) and (B) prepared just before use, particularly between 1 second and 15 minutes and preferentially 5 minutes before use, and in applying to the wet or dry human keratin fibres.
Composition (A) in direct emulsion form has an oil content of at least 30% by weight and preferentially of at least 50% by weight relative to the total weight of composition (A), and comprises:
When the process according to the invention is solely a lightening process, it does not incorporate a direct dye or an oxidation dye precursor (bases and couplers) usually used for the dyeing of human keratin fibres, or alternatively, if it does use direct dyes, the total content of the said dyes does not exceed 0.001% by weight relative to the weight of the composition once the mixing of compositions (A) and (B) has been performed.
Specifically, at such a content, only the composition derived from the mixing of (A) and (B) would possibly be dyed, i.e. no dyeing effect would be observed on the keratin fibres.
Preferentially, composition (A) does not contain any oxidation bases, coupler or direct dye when the process of the invention is solely a process for lightening keratin fibres.
According to another particular embodiment of the invention, the process is a process for dyeing keratin fibres using the mixture of compositions (A) and (B) as defined previously.
When the process according to the invention is a dyeing process, it uses at least one dye and more particularly direct dyes or oxidation dye precursors as defined below. If it uses direct dyes, the total content of the said direct dyes exceeds 0.001% by weight relative to the weight of the composition once the mixing of compositions (A) and (B) has been performed.
Preferentially, composition (A) contains oxidation bases, couplers and/or direct dyes.
The composition obtained from the mixing of (A) and (B) according to the invention is then left in place for a time usually ranging from one minute to one hour and preferably from 5 minutes to 30 minutes.
The temperature during the process is conventionally between room temperature (between 15 and 25° C.) and 80° C. and preferably between room temperature and 60° C.
After the treatment, the human keratin fibres are optionally rinsed with water, optionally washed with a shampoo and then rinsed with water, before being dried or left to dry.
The Ingredients
(i)—Solid Nonionic Surfactant with an HLB Ranging from 1.5 to 10:
Composition (A) of the process of the invention comprises at least one surfactant with an HLB ranging from 1.5 to 10, which is solid at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure (25° C.; 1 atmosphere=760 mmHg).
The term HLB is well known to those skilled in the art, and denotes the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of a surfactant.
The HLB or hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of the surfactant(s) used according to the invention is the HLB according to Griffin, defined in the publication J. Soc. Cosm. Chem. 1954 (volume 5), pages 249-256 or the experimentally determined HLB is as described in the book by the authors F. Puisieux and M. Seiller, entitled “Galenica 5: Les systèmes dispersés—Tome I—Agents de surface et émulsions—Chapitre IV—Notions de HLB et de HLB critique, pages 153-194—paragraph 1.1.2. Détermination de HLB par voie expérimentale [Experimental determination of HLB], pages 164-180.
It is preferably the calculated HLB values that should be taken into account.
The calculated HLB is defined as being the following coefficient:
calculated HLB=20×molar mass of the hydrophilic part/total molar mass.
For an oxyethylenated fatty alcohol, the hydrophilic part corresponds to the oxyethylene units condensed onto the fatty alcohol and the calculated HLB then corresponds to the Griffin HLB defined in the publication J. Soc. Cosm. Chem. 1954 (volume 5), pages 249-256. For an ester or an amide, the hydrophilic part is naturally defined as being beyond the carbonyl group, starting from the fatty chain(s). Needless to say, this magnitude is additive, and for a mixture of molecules, the calculated HLB corresponds to the mass-weighted average of the calculated HLB values for each molecule.
According to one particular embodiment of the invention, the melting point of the nonionic surfactant(s) with a calculated HLB ranging from 1.5 to 10 is greater than 30° C. and more preferentially greater than 40° C.
Examples of oxyalkylenated nonionic surfactants (i) that may be mentioned include:
The surfactants bear a number of moles of ethylene oxide and/or of propylene oxide preferably ranging from 1 to 100, better still from 2 to 10 and even better still from 2 to 6.

Advantageously, the nonionic surfactants do not comprise any oxypropylene units.
In accordance with one preferred embodiment of the invention, the oxyalkylenated nonionic surfactants are selected from oxyethylenated C8-C30 alcohols comprising from 1 to 6 mol of ethylene oxide.
More preferably, the said surfactants are chosen from solid nonionic surfactants with an HLB ranging from 2.5 to 8.
According to the invention, emulsion (A) preferably contains from 0.1% to 30% by weight of one or more surfactants with an HLB ranging from 1.5 to 10, which are solid at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure, even more preferentially from 0.5% to 20% by weight and better still from 1% to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of emulsion (A).
Emulsion (A) may contain other surfactants with an HLB of greater than 10. In this case, the surfactant(s) are chosen from nonionic, cationic, anionic and amphoteric surfactants and preferably from nonionic and anionic surfactants.
However, according to one particular embodiment, emulsion (A) does not contain any nonionic surfactants other than that or those with an HLB of between 1.5 and 10, which are solid at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure.
Composition (B) may also contain one or more nonionic surfactants with an HLB ranging from 1.5 to 10, which are solid at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure, the content thereof possibly ranging from 0.1% to 30% by weight, preferably from 0.5% to 20% by weight and even more particularly from 1% to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of composition (B).
In the ready-to-use composition resulting from the mixing of compositions (A) and (B), the content of nonionic surfactants with an HLB ranging from 1.5 to 10, which are solid at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure, may range from 0.1% to 30% by weight, preferably from 0.5% to 20% by weight and even more particularly from 1% to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the mixture of compositions (A) and (B).
