Present invention relates to a stable oxidative colouring composition for keratin fibres.
Oxidative colouring compositions have been produced under substantially oxygen free atmosphere and also stored under substantially oxygen free conditions in order to guarantee the stability against oxidation during shelf life. Besides that for minimizing any risk of oxidative destruction of the precursors, antioxidants, practically being reducing agents, have been formulated mostly together with additional free radical scavengers. Most commonly used antioxidant is sodium sulphite and most commonly used free radical scavenger is ascorbic acid and its salts such as sodium salt. It should be noted that ascorbic acid and its salts are on one hand known with their free radical scavenging activity and on the other hand, known because of their antioxidant effect. Although it may finally end up at the same effect, the two mechanisms, anti-oxidation and radical scavenging, are distinctive from each other.
Attempts have been made to find out alternatives to the above combination, but so far failed because of being ineffective. The simple idea of using sodium sulfite alone at a higher concentration does not result in the prevention of oxidative destruction of the precursors.
The aim of the inventors has been to find out an antioxidant system which is alternative to the sodium sulphite-ascorbic acid and/or its salts combination. It is furthermore the aim of the present invention that using the antioxidant system of the present invention, intensive oxidative colouration is achieved after storing said composition for a substantially long period of time.
Present inventors have surprisingly found out that a combination of an inorganic reducing agent and an organic reducing agent other than ascorbic acid and its salts is as effective as at present commonly used combination and even after a long storage period of time intensive colours are achieved which does not deviate from initial colours significantly.
Accordingly, the first object of the present invention is an oxidative dyeing composition comprising at least one oxidative dye precursor comprising further at least two structurally different reducing agents wherein the first is selected from inorganic reducing agents and present at a concentration of at least 0.1% by weight calculated to the total composition, and the second is an organic reducing agent and/or its salts selected from thioglycolic acid and its salts such as ammonium thioglycolate, ethanolamine thioglycolate, sodium thioglycolate, potassium thioglycolate, magnesium thioglycolate and strontium thioglycolate, acetylcysteine and its salts such as hydrochloride salt, thioglycerine and cysteine and its salts such as cysteine hydrochloride and their mixtures, wherein the composition is substantially free of ascorbic acid and/or its salts, wherein the total concentration of inorganic and organic reducing agents does not exceed 5% by weight calculated to the total composition.
The second object of the present invention is method of stabilizing oxidative dyeing composition comprising at least one oxidative dye precursor wherein the composition comprises further at least two structurally different reducing agents wherein the first is selected from inorganic reducing agents and present at a concentration of at least 0.1% by weight calculated to the total composition, and the second is an organic reducing agent and/or its salts selected from thioglycolic acid and its salts such as ammonium thioglycolate, ethanolamine thioglycolate, sodium thioglycolate, potassium thioglycolate, magnesium thioglycolate and strontium thioglycolate, acetylcysteine and its salts such as hydrochloride salt, thioglycerine and cysteine and its salts such as cysteine hydrochloride and their mixtures, wherein the composition is substantially free of ascorbic acid and/or its salts, wherein the total concentration of inorganic and organic reducing agents does not exceed 5% by weight calculated to the total composition.

Preferred compound according to the above chemical structure is cetyl-PG-hydroxyethylpalmitamide.
Further optional ingredient are sterols, especially the phytosterols as preferred hair restructuring agents. Especially preferred ones are of plant origin for example ergosterol, sitosterol, stigmasterol, fucosterol, brassicasterol, fungisterol, campesterol, zymosterol, ascosterol, cerevisterol, episterol, faecosterol, spinasterol. Among those phytosterols, the ones found in “Avocadin” which is the unsaponified fraction of the avocado oil is more preferred.
Composition can comprise at least one diamine compound. Preferred diamide compounds are according to the general structure
wherein R9 is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl chain with 1 to 12 C atoms which may be substituted with hydroxy and/or alkoxy groups, preferably R9 is linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl chain with 1 to 12 C atoms which may be substituted by 1 to 3 substituents selected from a hydroxy group and C1 to C6 alkoxy group, more preferably R9 is a unsubstituted alkyl group with 1 to 12 C atoms, and alkyl group with 2 to 12 C atoms substituted by one or two hydroxyl groups, by one alkoxy group with 1 to 6 C atoms or by one hydroxyl and one alkoxy group with 2 to 6 C atoms, R10 is linear or branched alkyl chain with 1 to 5 C atoms, preferably linear or branched alkyl chain with 2 to 5 C atoms and more preferably an alkyl chain with 2 to 3 C atoms, and R11 linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl chain with 1 to 22 C atoms, preferably linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl chain with 11 to 22 C atoms.
Preferred individual diamide compounds are the ones according to the formula A to G.
Particularly preferred diamide compound is the compound F which is bis(methoxypropylamido)isodocosane and commercially available from Kao Corporation—Japan.
Concentration of diamide compound is in the range of 0.001 to 5%, preferably 0.002 to 3% more preferably 0.005 to 2% and most preferably 0.01 to 1% by weight calculated to total composition.
Additionally, one or more natural oil may be incorporated into the compositions of the present invention. Suitable are such as olive oil, almond oil, avocado oil, wheatgerm oil, ricinus oil or their mixture. Concentration of natural oil should be 0.01 to 2.5%, preferably 0.01.to 1%, more preferably 0.05 to 0.5% by weight, calculated to total each composition.
Compositions of the present invention can further comprise ingredients customarily found in such compositions such as alkalizing agents, preservatives antioxidants, fragrances, reducing agents and chelating agents.
The following example is to illustrate the present invention, but not to limit.
The above composition was stored for a period of up to 6 months and no instability was observed in terms of loss of colouring ability. Exclusion of either reducing agent resulted in loss of antioxidant activity and colouring effect was lost considerably.
Composition of example 1 was produced by addition of 0.1% by weight HC Red 3, a nitro direct dye and stored up to 3 months and no instability was observed in terms of loss of colouring ability. Exclusion of either reducing agent resulted in loss of antioxidant activity and colouring effect was lost considerably.
The composition of Example 1 was produced by replacing the two reducing agents as follows:
None of the compositions produced showed any instability after a storage period of up to 6 months measured as colouring ability of the compositions on hair.
