This application is a U.S. National-Stage entry under 35 U.S.C. § 371 based on International Application No. PCT/EP2020/074355, filed Sep. 1, 2020, which was published under PCT Article 21(2) and which claims priority to German Application No. 102019214464.0, filed Sep. 23, 2019, which are all hereby incorporated in their entirety by reference.
The subject of the present application is an agent for coloring keratinous material, in particular human hair, which comprises at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1), at least one coloring compound (a2) and at least one ester oil (a3).
A second object of this application is a method for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair, wherein an agent of the first object of the present disclosure is applied to the keratinous material, allowed to act and then washed out again with water.
Changing the shape and color of keratinous material, especially human hair, is a key area of modern cosmetics. To change the hair color, the expert knows various coloring systems depending on the coloring requirements. Oxidation dyes are usually used for permanent, intensive dyeings with good fastness properties and good grey coverage. Such colorants contain oxidation dye precursors, so-called developer components and coupler components, which, under the influence of oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide, form the actual dyes among themselves. 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 dyeings obtained with direct dyes have a shorter shelf life and quicker wash ability. Dyes with direct dyes usually remain on the hair for a period of between 5 and 20 washes.
The use of color pigments is known for short-term color changes on the hair and/or skin. Color pigments are 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, they can usually be removed again without residue by a few washes with detergents comprising surfactants. Various products of this type are available on the market under the name hair mascara.
If the user wants particularly long-lasting dyeings, 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. A continuing challenge is therefore the search for alternative, high-performance dyeing processes. In particular, the color intensities and wash fastnesses of dyes based on the use of pigments still need to be improved.
It was the task of the present disclosure to provide a dyeing system which has color intensities comparable to oxidative dyeing wherever possible. However, the oxidation dye precursors normally used for this purpose should not be used. A technology was sought that would make it possible to fix the colorant compounds known from the prior art (such as pigments in particular) to the hair in an extremely durable manner. When using the agents in a dyeing process, particularly intensive dyeing results with good fastness properties should be achieved. In addition, the agents should also have improved gray coverage.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that the problem can be excellently solved if keratinous materials, in particular hair, are colored with an agent comprising at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1), at least one coloring compound (a2) and at least one ester oil (a3).
An agent is provided for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair. The agent includes (a1) at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer, (a2) at least one color-imparting compound, and (a3) at least one ester oil.
Also, a method is provided for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair. The method includes applying an agent including (a1) at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer, (a2) at least one color-imparting compound, and (a3) at least one ester oil to the keratinous material; exposing the at least one color-imparting compound (a2) to the keratinous material, and rinsing the agent from the keratinous material with water.
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.
A first object of the present disclosure is an agent for coloring keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising.
In the course of the work carried out on the present disclosure, it has been surprisingly shown that the use of an ester oil (a3) in an agent comprising an amino silicone (a1) as well as a coloring compound (a2) leads to an improvement in color intensity when this agent is applied in a dyeing process on the keratinous material, in particular on human hair. These positive effects were observed when the colorant compound (a2) was a pigment.
Keratinic 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.
Coloring Agent
The term “coloring agent” is used in the context of the present disclosure for a coloring of the keratin material, of the hair, caused using coloring compounds, in particular pigments. In this coloring process, the pigments are deposited as coloring compounds in a particularly homogeneous, uniform and smooth film on the surface of the keratin material.
Amino-Functionalized Silicone Polymers (a1)
As the first ingredient (a1) essential to the present disclosure, the agent comprises at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer. The amino-functionalized silicone polymer may alternatively be referred to as amino silicone or amodimethicone.
Silicone polymers are macromolecules with a molecular weight of at least 500 g/mol, preferably at least 1000 g/mol, more preferably at least 2500 g/mol, particularly preferably at least 5000 g/mol, which comprise repeating organic units.
The maximum molecular weight of the silicone polymer depends on the degree of polymerization (number of polymerized monomers) and the batch size and is partly determined by the polymerization method. For the purposes of the present disclosure, it is preferred if the maximum molecular weight of the silicone polymer is not more than 107 g/mol, preferably not more than 106 g/mol, and particularly preferably not more than 105 g/mol.
The silicone polymers comprise many Si—O repeating units, and the Si atoms may carry organic radicals such as alkyl groups or substituted alkyl groups. Alternatively, a silicone polymer is therefore also referred to as polydimethylsiloxane.
Corresponding to the high molecular weight of silicone polymers, these are based on more than 10 Si—O repeat units, preferably more than 50 Si—O repeat units, and more preferably more than 100 Si—O repeat units, most preferably more than 500 Si—O repeat units.
An amino-functionalized silicone polymer is understood to be a functionalized silicone that carries at least one structural unit with an amino group. Preferably, the amino-functionalized silicone polymer carries multiple structural units, each having at least one amino group. An amino group is understood to mean a primary amino group, a secondary amino group and a tertiary amino group. All these amino groups can be protonated in the acidic environment and are then present in their cationic form.
In principle, beneficial effects could be obtained with amino-functionalized silicone polymers (a1) if they carry at least one primary, at least one secondary and/or at least one tertiary amino group. However, dyeings with the best wash fastness were observed when an amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) comprising at least one secondary amino group was used in the agent.
In a very particularly preferred embodiment, an agent as contemplated herein comprises at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) having at least one secondary amino group.
The secondary amino group(s) may be located at various positions on the amino-functionalized silicone polymer. Particularly beneficial effects were found when an amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) was used that has at least one, preferably several, structural units of the formula (Si amino).
In the structural units of the formula (Si-Amino), the abbreviations ALK1 and ALK2 independently represent a linear or branched, divalent C1-C20 alkylene group.
In another very particularly preferred embodiment, an agent as contemplated herein comprises at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) comprising at least one structural unit of the formula (Si amino),
where
The positions marked with an asterisk (*) indicate the bond to further structural units of the silicone polymer. For example, the silicon atom adjacent to the star may be bonded to another oxygen atom, and the oxygen atom adjacent to the star may be bonded to another silicon atom or even to a C1-C6 alkyl group.
A bivalent C1-C20 alkylene group can alternatively be referred to as a divalent or divalent C1-C20 alkylene group, by which is meant that each ALK1 or AK2 grouping can form two bonds.
In the case of ALK1, one bond occurs from the silicon atom to the ALK1 grouping, and the second bond is between ALK1 and the secondary amino group.
In the case of ALK2, one bond is from the secondary amino group to the ALK2 grouping, and the second bond is between ALK2 and the primary amino group.
Examples of a linear bivalent C1-C20 alkylene group include the methylene group (—CH2—), the ethylene group (—CH2—CH2—), the propylene group (—CH2—CH2—CH2—), and the butylene group (—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—). The propylene group (—CH2—CH2—CH2—) is particularly preferred. From a chain length of 3 C atoms, bivalent alkylene groups can also be branched. Examples of branched divalent, bivalent C3-C20 alkylene groups are (—CH2—CH(CH3)—) and (—CH2—CH(CH3)—CH2—).
In another particularly preferred embodiment, the structural units of the formula (Si amino) represent repeat units in the amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1), so that the silicone polymer comprises multiple structural units of the formula (Si amino).
Particularly well-suited amino-functionalized silicone polymers (a1) with at least one secondary amino group are listed below.
Dyeings with the best wash fastnesses could be obtained when the agent as contemplated herein comprises at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) comprising structural units of the formula (Si-I) and of the formula (Si-II)

The individual Si groupings, which are marked with the indices m and n or p and q, do not have to be present as blocks; rather, the individual units can also be present in a statistically distributed manner, i.e. in the formulas (Si-III) and (Si-IV), not every R1-Si(CH3)2 group is necessarily bonded to an —[O—Si(CH3)2] grouping.

In a further preferred embodiment, a composition as contemplated herein comprises at least one colorant compound (a2) from the group comprising pigments, direct dyes, photochromic dyes and thermochromic dyes.
Pigments within the meaning of the present disclosure are coloring compounds which have a solubility in water at 25° C. of less than 0.5 g/L, preferably less than 0.1 g/L, even more preferably less than 0.05 g/L. Water solubility can be determined, for example, by the method described below: 0.5 g of the pigment are weighed in a beaker. A stir-fish is added. Then one liter of distilled water is added. This mixture is heated to 25° C. for one hour while stirring on a magnetic stirrer. If undissolved components of the pigment are still visible in the mixture after this period, the solubility of the pigment is below 0.5 g/L. If the pigment-water mixture cannot be assessed visually due to the high intensity of the finely dispersed pigment, the mixture is filtered. If a proportion of undissolved pigments remains on the filter paper, the solubility of the pigment is below 0.5 g/L.
Suitable color pigments can be of inorganic and/or organic origin.
In a preferred embodiment, an agent as contemplated herein comprises at least one colorant compound (a2) from the group comprising inorganic and/or organic pigments.

The organic pigment can also be a color paint. As contemplated herein, the term color lacquer means particles comprising a layer of absorbed dyes, the unit of particle and dye being insoluble under the above mentioned conditions. The particles can, for example, be inorganic substrates, which can be aluminum, silica, calcium borosilate, calcium aluminum borosilicate or even aluminum.
For example, alizarin color varnish can be used.
Due to their excellent light and temperature resistance, the use of the above pigments in the agent is particularly preferred. It is also preferred if the pigments used have a certain particle size. As contemplated herein, it is therefore advantageous if the at least one pigment has an average particle size D50 of 1.0 to 50 μm, preferably 5.0 to 45 μm, preferably 10 to 40 μm, 14 to 30 μm. The mean particle size D50, for example, can be determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS).

In another very particularly preferred embodiment, an agent as contemplated herein comprises—based on the total weight of the agent—one or more pigments (a2) in a total amount of from 0.01 to 10.0 wt. %, preferably from 0.1 to 5.0 wt. %, more preferably from 0.2 to 2.5 wt. % and very particularly preferably from 0.25 to 1.5 wt. %.
As colorant compounds (a2), the agent as contemplated herein may also contain one or more direct dyes. Direct-acting dyes are dyes that draw directly onto the hair and do not require an oxidative process to form the color. Direct dyes are usually nitrophenylene diamines, nitroaminophenols, azo dyes, anthraquinones, triarylmethane dyes or indophenols.
The direct dyes within the meaning of the present disclosure have a solubility in water (760 mmHg) at 25° C. of more than 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 (760 mmHg) at 25° C. of more than 1.0 g/L.
Direct dyes can be divided into anionic, cationic and non-ionic direct dyes.
In a further embodiment, an agent as contemplated herein comprises at least one colorant compound (a2) from the group comprising anionic, nonionic and cationic direct dyes.

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 (760 mmHg) at 25° C. of more than 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 (760 mmHg) at 25° C. of more than 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 0.5 g/L (25° C., 760 mmHg), they do not fall under the definition of a direct dye.
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.

For example, the water solubility of anionic direct dyes can be determined in the following way. 0.1 g of the anionic direct dye is placed in a beaker. A stir-fish is added. Then add 100 ml of water. This mixture is heated to 25° C. on a magnetic stirrer while stirring. It is stirred for 60 minutes. The aqueous mixture is then visually assessed. If there are still undissolved radicals, the amount of water is increased—for example in steps of 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 0.1 g of the anionic direct dye dissolves in 100 ml water at 25° C., the solubility of the dye is 1.0 g/L.

Other typical examples of nonionic surfactants are fatty acid amide polyglycol ethers, fatty amine polyglycol ethers, mixed ethers or mixed formals, protein hydrolysates (especially wheat-based vegetable products) and polysorbates.
The alkylene oxide addition products to saturated linear fatty alcohols and fatty acids, each with 2 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of fatty alcohol or fatty acid, and the sugar surfactants have proved to be preferred nonionic surfactants. Preparations with excellent properties are also obtained if they contain fatty acid esters of ethoxylated glycerol as non-ionic surfactants.
These connections are identified by the following parameters. The alkyl radical R comprises 6 to 22 carbon atoms and can be either linear or branched. Primary linear and in 2-position methyl-branched aliphatic radicals are preferred. Such alkyl radicals are for example 1-octyl, 1-decyl, 1-lauryl, 1-myristyl, 1-cytyl and 1-stearyl. Especially preferred are 1-octyl, 1-decyl, 1-lauryl, 1-myristyl. When so-called “oxo-alcohols” are used as starting materials, compounds with an odd number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain predominate.
The compounds with alkyl groups used as surfactants can each be uniform substances. However, it is usually preferable to start from native plant or animal raw materials in the production of these substances, so that one obtains substance mixtures with different alkyl chain lengths depending on the respective raw material.
For surfactants which are products of the addition of ethylene and/or propylene oxide to fatty alcohols or derivatives of these addition products, both products with a “normal” homologue distribution and those with a narrowed homologue distribution can be used. By “normal” homologue distribution we mean mixtures of homologues obtained in the reaction of fatty alcohol and alkylene oxide using alkali metals, alkali metal hydroxides or alkali metal alcoholates as catalysts. Constricted homologue distributions are obtained, on the other hand, when, for example, hydrotalcites, alkaline earth metal salts of ether carboxylic acids, alkaline earth metal oxides, hydroxides or alcoholates are used as catalysts. The use of products with narrowed homologue distribution may be preferred.
Particularly satisfactory results were obtained when the agent as contemplated herein included (at least one ethoxylated fatty alcohol with a degree of ethoxylation of 10 to 40.
In another very particularly preferred embodiment, an agent as contemplated herein comprises at least one nonionic surfactant (b4) of the formula (T-I),
wherein
A particularly well-suited non-ionic surfactant of this type is ceteareth-30. Ceteareth-30 is a mixture of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol, each ethoxylated with 30 units of ethylene oxide. The mixture of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol is called cetearyl alcohol. Ceteareth-30 has the CAS number 68439-49-6 and can be purchased, for example, under the trade name Eumulgin B3 from BASF.
The nonionic surfactants, in particular the nonionic surfactants of formula (T-I), are preferably used in the appropriate amount ranges in agent (b). Thus, based on the total weight of agent (b), agent (b) may contain one or more nonionic surfactants in a total amount of from 0.1 to 20 wt. %, preferably from 0.2 to 10 wt. %, more preferably from 0.3 to 5 wt. %, and most preferably from 0.4 to 2.5 wt. %.
Water Content in Agent
The agent described above is a ready-to-use agent that can be applied to the keratinous material. This ready-to-use agent preferably has a high water content. It has been found that particularly suitable agents are those comprising—based on the total weight of the agent—50.0 to 98.0 wt. %, preferably 60.0 to 90.0 wt. %, more preferably 70.0 to 90.0 wt. % and most preferably 75.0 to 90.0 wt. % of water.
In a further explicitly quite particularly preferred embodiment, an agent as contemplated herein comprises—based on the total weight of the agent—50.0 to 98.0 wt. %, preferably 60.0 to 90.0 wt. %, further preferably 70.0 to 90.0 wt. % and very particularly preferably 75.0 to 90.0 wt. % of water.
Other Optional Ingredients in the Agent
In addition to the ingredients (a1) to (a3) essential to the present disclosure already described, the agent may also contain further optional ingredients.
For example, the agent may contain a film-forming polymer. The film-forming polymer may be selected, for example, from the group comprising polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone/styrene copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone/ethylene copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone/propylene copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone/vinylcaprolactam copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone/vinylformamide copolymers and/or vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl alcohol copolymers, explicitly very particularly preferred polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).

Other suitable anionic copolymers include copolymers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or their C1-C6 alkyl esters, as sold 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.

Suitable olefin-based polymers include homopolymers and copolymers of ethylene, propylene, butene, isoprene and butadiene.
In another version, block copolymers 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”.
If, in principle, both anionic and cationic and/or non-ionic polymers can be used in the agent as contemplated herein, it has proved particularly preferable not to use further ionic compounds or to use them only in lesser amounts. In other words, a particularly strong improvement in color intensity could be achieved when the agent was a non-ionic base and therefore included cationic and anionic polymers either not at all or only in lesser amounts. For this reason, it has been found to be particularly preferable if the total content of all anionic polymers included in the agent is below 0.1 wt. %. Furthermore, it has been found to be particularly preferred if the total content of all cationic polymers included in the agent is below 0.1 wt. %. The amount of catalytic or anionic polymer is related to the total weight of the agent.
In another very particularly preferred embodiment, in an agent as contemplated herein—in relation to the total weight of the agents
In addition to the non-ionic surfactants described above, the agents can in principle also contain one or more charged surfactants. The term surfactants refer to surface-active substances. A distinction is made between anionic surfactants comprising a hydrophobic radical 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 radical 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.
Examples of ampholytic surfactants are N-cocosalkylaminopropionate, cocosacylaminoethylaminopropionate and C12-C18-acyl sarcosine.
In addition, the agents 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 comprising a hydrocarbon backbone (e.g., comprising one or two linear or branched alkyl chains) and the positive charge(s) being in the hydrophilic head group. Examples of cationic surfactants are
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 0.1 to 45 wt. %, preferably 1 to 30 wt. % and most preferably 1 to 15 wt. %—based on the total weight of the respective agent.
Furthermore, the agent 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.
If, in principle, both anionic and cationic and/or non-ionic surfactants can be used in the agent as contemplated herein, it has proved particularly preferable not to use further ionic compounds or to use them only in small quantities. In other words, a particularly strong improvement in color intensity could be achieved when the agent was a non-ionic base and therefore included cationic and anionic surfactants either not at all or only in lesser amounts. For this reason, it has been found to be particularly preferable if the total content of all anionic surfactants included in the agent is below 0.1 wt. %. Furthermore, it has been found to be particularly preferable if the total content of all cationic surfactants included in the agent is below 0.1 wt. %. The amount of catalytic or anionic surfactant is related to the total weight of the product.
In another very particularly preferred embodiment, in an agent as contemplated herein—in relation to the total weight of the means
The agents may also contain other active ingredients, auxiliaries and additives, such as fatty ingredients that are solid at room temperature, solvents, structurants such as glucose, maleic acid and lactic acid, hair-conditioning compounds such as phospholipids, for example lecithin and cephalins; perfume oils, dimethyl isosorbide and cyclodextrins; fiber structure-improving active ingredients, in particular mono-, di- and oligosaccharides such as glucose, galactose, fructose, fructose and lactose; dyes for coloring the product; anti-dandruff active ingredients such as piroctone olamine, zinc omadine and climbazole; amino acids and oligopeptides; protein hydrolysates on an animal and/or vegetable basis, as well as in the form of their fatty acid condensation products or optionally anionically or cationically modified derivatives; vegetable oils; light stabilizers and UV blockers; active ingredients such as panthenol, pantothenic acid, pantolactone, allantoin, pyrrolidinonecarboxylic acids and their salts, and bisabolol; polyphenols, in particular hydroxycinnamic acids, 6,7-dihydroxycoumarins, hydroxybenzoic acids, catechins, tannins, leucoanthocyanidins, anthocyanidins, flavanones, flavones and flavonols; Ceramides or pseudoceramides; vitamins, provitamins and vitamin precursors; plant extracts; fats and waxes such as fatty alcohols, beeswax, montan wax and kerosene; Swelling and penetrating agents such as glycerol, propylene glycol monoethyl ether, carbonates, hydrogen carbonates, guanidines, ureas and primary, secondary and tertiary phosphates; opacifiers such as latex, styrene/PVP and styrene/acrylamide copolymers; pearlescent agents such as ethylene glycol mono- and distearate as well as PEG-3-distearate; and blowing agents such as propane-butane mixtures, N2O, dimethyl ether, CO2 and air.
The selection of these other substances will be made by the specialist according to the desired properties of the agents. Regarding other optional components and the quantities of these components used, explicit reference is made to the relevant manuals known to the specialist. The additional active ingredients and auxiliary substances are preferably used in the preparations as contemplated herein in quantities of 0.0001 to 25 wt. % each, 0.0005 to 15 wt. %, based on the total weight of the respective agent.
Agent pH Value
The pH value of the agent as contemplated herein is preferably adjusted to a neutral to alkaline pH. Most preferably, the agent has an alkaline pH value in the range of 7.0 to 11.5 preferably from 8.0 to 11.0, and most preferably from 8.5 to 10.5. Under basic conditions, the amino-functionalized silicone polymer (a1) can be dissolved or dispersed particularly well and without protonation.
Within the scope of a further preferred embodiment, an agent as contemplated herein has a pH of from 7.0 to 11.5 preferably from 8.0 to 11.0, and particularly preferably from 8.5 to 10.5.
To adjust the desired pH, the agent as contemplated herein may contain at least one alkalizing agent. The pH values for the purposes of the present disclosure are pH values measured at a temperature of 22° C.
As alkalizing agents, the agents may contain, for example, ammonia, alkanolamines and/or basic amino acids.
The alkanolamines which can be used in the agent of the present disclosure are preferably selected from primary amines having a C2-C6 alkyl base which carries at least one hydroxyl group. Preferred alkanolamines are selected from the group formed by 2-aminoethan-1-ol (monoethanolamine), 3-aminopropan-1-ol, 4-aminobutan-1-ol, 5-aminopentan-1-ol, 1-aminopropan-2-ol, 1-aminobutan-2-ol, 1-aminopentan-2-ol, 1-aminopentan-3-ol, 1-aminopentan-4-ol, 3-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol, 1-amino-2-methylpropan-2-ol, 3-aminopropan-1,2-diol, 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1,3-diol.
Alkanolamines particularly preferred as contemplated herein are selected from 2-aminoethan-1-ol and/or 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol. A particularly preferred embodiment is therefore wherein the agent as contemplated herein comprises an alkanolamine selected from 2-aminoethan-1-ol and/or 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol as alkalizing agent.
For the purposes of the present disclosure, an amino acid is an organic compound comprising at least one protonatable amino group and at least one —COOH or —SO3H group in its structure. Preferred amino acids are amino carboxylic acids, especially α-(alpha)-amino carboxylic acids and ω-amino carboxylic acids, whereby α-amino carboxylic acids are particularly preferred.
As contemplated herein, basic amino acids are those amino acids which have an isoelectric point pI of greater than 7.0.
Basic α-amino carboxylic acids contain at least one asymmetric carbon atom. In the context of the present disclosure, both enantiomers can be used equally as specific compounds or their mixtures, especially as racemates. However, it is particularly advantageous to use the naturally preferred isomeric form, usually in L-configuration.
The basic amino acids are preferably selected from the group formed by arginine, lysine, ornithine and histidine, especially preferably arginine and lysine. In another particularly preferred embodiment, in an agent as contemplated herein the alkalizing agent is a basic amino acid from the group arginine, lysine, ornithine and/or histidine.
In addition, the product may contain other alkalizing agents, especially inorganic alkalizing agents. Inorganic alkalizing agents usable as contemplated herein are preferably selected from the group formed by sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, potassium silicate, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate.
Particularly preferred alkalizing agents are ammonia, 2-aminoethan-1-ol (monoethanolamine), 3-aminopropan-1-ol, 4-aminobutan-1-ol, 5-aminopentan-1-ol, 1-aminopropan-2-ol, 1-aminobutan-2-ol, 1-aminopentan-2-ol, 1-aminopentan-3-ol, 1-aminopentan-4-ol, 3-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol, 1-Amino-2-methylpropan-2-ol, 3-aminopropan-1,2-diol, 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1,3-diol, arginine, lysine, ornithine, histidine, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, potassium silicate, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate.

Process for Dyeing Keratin Material
The agents described above can be excellently used in processes for dyeing keratinous material, especially human hair.
A second object of the present disclosure is therefore a method for coloring keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps:
In step (1) of the process as contemplated herein, the agent of the first present disclosure is applied to the keratinous material, which is most preferably human hair.
In step (2) of the process as contemplated herein, the agent is then allowed to act on the keratinous material after its application. In this context, different exposure times of, for example, 30 seconds to 60 minutes are conceivable.
However, a major advantage of the dyeing system as contemplated herein is that an intensive color result can be achieved even in short periods after short exposure times. For this reason, it is advantageous if the application mixture remains on the keratin material only for comparatively short periods of time after its application, from 30 seconds to 15 minutes, preferably from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, and particularly preferably from 1 to 5 minutes.
In a further preferred embodiment, a method as contemplated herein includes: (2) Exposure of the colorant to the keratinous material for a period ranging from 30 seconds to 15 minutes, preferably from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, and most preferably from 1 to 5 minutes.
Finally, following the action of the application mixture on the keratin material, it is rinsed with water in step (3) of the process.
Here, in one embodiment, the application mixture can be washed out with water only, i.e., without the aid of an after-treatment agent or a shampoo. The use of a post-treatment agent or conditioner in step (6) is also conceivable in principle.
However, to solve the task as contemplated herein and to increase the convenience of use, it has proved particularly preferable to rinse the agent in step (3) exclusively with water without the aid of a further after-treatment agent, shampoo or conditioner.
In a further preferred embodiment, a method as contemplated herein includes the further step of: (3) Rinse out the dye with water only.
Concerning the further preferred embodiments of the method as contemplated herein, mutatis mutantis what has been said about the agents applies.
1. Formulations
The following formulations were prepared (all data in wt. % unless otherwise stated):
2. Application
After preparation, the respective agent (V1 and E1) was applied to hair strands (Kerling, Euronatural hair white, liquor ratio: 1 g agent (E1) per g hair strand). The agent was left to act for three minutes. Subsequently, the hair strand was thoroughly washed (1 minute) with water, dried and then colorimetrically measured with a colorimeter from Datacolor, type Spectraflash 450.
The dE value used to assess the color intensity is derived from the L*a*b* colorimetric values measured on the respective strand part as follows:
dE=[(Li−L0)2+(ai−a0)2+(bi−b0)]1/2
The chroma of a coloration is calculated according to the formula
C=√{square root over (a2+b2)}
The larger the C-value, the higher the chromaticity of a coloration.
The L-value indicates the brightness of a coloration. The lower the L-value is, the darker and more intense the coloration is.
Darker, more intense colorations (lower L value) and higher chromaticity (higher C value) were measured with the agent of Example (E1).
While at least one exemplary embodiment has been presented in the foregoing detailed description, it should be appreciated that a vast number of variations exist. It should also be appreciated that the exemplary embodiment or exemplary embodiments are only examples, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability, or configuration of the various embodiments in any way. Rather, the foregoing detailed description will provide those skilled in the art with a convenient road map for implementing an exemplary embodiment as contemplated herein. It being understood that various changes may be made in the function and arrangement of elements described in an exemplary embodiment without departing from the scope of the various embodiments as set forth in the appended claims.
