Description

The present invention relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, using a) one or more particular anthraquinone dyes and b) one or more fluorescent direct dyes; to a composition comprising a) and b). The present invention also relates to a multi-compartment device containing the compounds defined above.


Many people have sought for a long time to modify the colour of their hair and in particular to mask their grey hair.


It is especially known practice to dye keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres, with dye compositions containing oxidation dye precursors, which are generally known as oxidation bases. These oxidation bases are colourless or weakly coloured compounds, which, when combined with oxidizing products, may give rise to coloured compounds via a process of oxidative condensation.


The shades obtained with these oxidation bases may be modified by combining them with couplers or colour modifiers. The variety of molecules used as oxidation bases and couplers allows a wide range of colours to be obtained.


Another well-known method consists in obtaining semi-permanent dyeing by applying to the keratin fibres direct dyes, which are coloured and colouring molecules that have affinity for said fibres.


The direct dyes conventionally used are chosen from nitrobenzene, anthraquinone, nitropyridine, azo, xanthene, acridine, azine and triarylmethane direct dyes. The chemical species may be nonionic, anionic (acidic dyes) or cationic (basic dyes). The direct dyes may also be natural dyes.


Conventional direct dyeing processes consist in applying to keratin fibres dye compositions comprising direct dyes. After application, a leave-on time is observed so as to allow the dye molecules to penetrate by diffusion into the fibres. On conclusion of the process, the fibres are rinsed.


In contrast with oxidation dyeing, these direct dyeing processes have a tendency to better protect the integrity of the fibres. The resulting colourings are generally chromatic, but, however, are only semi-temporary. The nature of the interactions that bind the direct dyes to the keratin fibres and their desorption from the surface and/or the core of the fibre are responsible for their weak dyeing power.


Although a wide range of colours is currently accessible, it generally proves necessary to combine three dyes of complementary colours—trichromatic principle—in order to obtain a natural shade (see, for example, WO 95/15144 and WO 95/01772). This tripartite combination does not, however, show good persistence with respect to repeated shampooing. It generally, or even systematically, induces an unaesthetic changing of the colour, which the consumer finds dissuasive.


Another aim of the invention is thus to be able to dye light keratin fibres efficiently in chestnut-brown, dark chestnut-brown with a glint or even black, by mixing direct dyes, and preferably only two types of direct dye.


These colourings are furthermore not sufficiently fast in the face of external agents such as light or perspiration.


Thus, there is a real need to implement processes for the direct dyeing of keratin fibres, in particular of human keratin fibres such as the hair, which do not have the drawbacks mentioned above, i.e. which make it possible especially to lead to natural colourings that have good properties, especially in terms of chromaticity, power, intensity, sheen and selectivity, and which are persistent with respect to shampooing.


The Applicant has found, surprisingly, that a process for dyeing keratin fibres using a) one or more anthraquinone dyes chosen from those of formulae (I) and (II) and b) one or more fluorescent direct dyes makes it possible to achieve the objectives mentioned above; especially to lead to natural chestnut-brown, dark chestnut-brown with a glint or even black colourings, which are not only powerful and shiny, but also shampoo-resistant.

Other subjects, characteristics, aspects and advantages of the invention will emerge even more clearly on reading the description and the examples that follow.


For the purposes of the present invention and unless otherwise indicated:

    • the “dyes” according to the invention absorb light in the visible range, i.e. at a wavelength λabs particularly between 400 and 700 nm inclusive;
    • a “thiol-protecting group” is a group known to those skilled in the art, for instance those described in the publications “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, T. W. Greene, John Wiley & Sons ed., NY, 1981, pp. 193-217; “Protecting Groups”, P. Kocienski, Thieme, 3rd ed., 2005, chap. 5; and Ullmann's Encyclopedia, “Peptide Synthesis”, pp. 4-5, 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim 10.1002/14356007.a19 157; preferably, the protected thiol function is such that Y represents a hydrogen atom; ii) an alkali metal; iii) an alkaline-earth metal; iv) an ammonium group: N+RaRbRgRd or a phosphonium group: P+RaRbRgRd with Ra, Rb, Rg and Rd, which may be identical or different, representing a hydrogen atom or a (C1-C4)alkyl group;
    • For the purposes of the present invention, the term “direct dye” means natural and/or synthetic dyes, which are soluble in the cosmetic medium, other than oxidation dyes; they are dyes which will diffuse superficially on the keratin fibres;
    • For the purposes of the present invention, the term “fluorescent dye” means a dye which is a coloured molecule (which absorbs visible light) and which itself imparts colour, and which, in contrast with a conventional dye, transforms the absorbed energy into light of a longer wavelength emitted in the visible part of the spectrum; in particular, the “fluorescent” dyes of the invention are capable of absorbing light in the visible range at a wavelength λabs of between 350 and 800 nm and of re-emitting in the visible range at a longer wavelength λem than that absorbed, of between 400 and 800 nm; the difference between the absorption and emission wavelengths, also known as the Stoke's shift, is between 1 nm and 100 nm. More preferentially, the fluorescent dyes of the invention are dyes that are capable of absorbing at a wavelength λabs of between 420 nm and 550 nm and of re-emitting in the visible range at a wavelength λem of between 470 and 600 nm;
    • the “fluorescent dyes” according to the present invention are to be differentiated from optical brighteners. Optical brighteners, also known as “brighteners” or “fluorescent brighteners” or “fluorescent brightening agents” or “fluorescent whitening agents or FWA” or “whiteners” or “fluorescent whiteners”, are colourless compounds, which do not impart a colour and are consequently not dyes since they do not absorb in the visible light range, but only absorb in the ultraviolet range (wavelength ranging from 200 to 400 nm) and transform the absorbed energy into fluorescent light of a longer wavelength emitted in the visible part of the spectrum in the blue range. The colour impression is then generated only by the purely fluorescent light that is predominantly blue (wavelength ranging from 400 to 500 nm).
    • the “blue-violet” dyes according to the invention are dyes which absorb light in the visible spectrum and which appear blue visually, i.e. which absorb light at an absorption wavelength λmax greater than 550 nm and less than or equal to 700 nm, in particular λmax between 560 nm and 700 nm, preferably in the blue range, i.e. λmax between 580 and 650 nm;
    • the term “(hetero)aryl” means aryl and heteroaryl groups;

The Dyeing Process

The process for dyeing keratin fibres according to the present invention comprises the application to said keratin fibres of the following ingredients:

    • (a) one or more anthraquinone dyes of formulae (I) and/or (II) as defined previously, and
    • (b) one or more fluorescent dyes as defined previously,


      it being understood that the anthraquinone dye(s) of formulae (I) and/or (II) (ingredients (a)) and the fluorescent dye(s) (ingredients (b)) are applied to said keratin fibres together or sequentially.


In other words, the dyeing process according to the present invention may be performed in one or more steps.


According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the anthraquinone dye(s) of formulae (I) and/or (II) and the fluorescent dye(s) (b), as defined previously, are applied together (or jointly), i.e. simultaneously, to the keratin fibres. According to this embodiment, the dyeing process is performed in one step. One variant of the dyeing process of the invention involves applying a cosmetic composition according to the invention which comprises (a) the anthraquinone compound(s) of formulae (I) and/or (II) and (b) the fluorescent dye(s) as defined previously to the keratin fibres.


According to another particularly preferred embodiment, the anthraquinone dye(s) of formulae (I) and/or (II) as defined previously and the fluorescent dye(s) as defined previously are applied sequentially, i.e. successively. According to this other embodiment, the dyeing process is performed in at least two steps.


According to a first embodiment in at least two steps, the fluorescent dye(s) as defined previously are applied to the keratin fibres subsequently to the anthraquinone dye(s) of formulae (I) and/or (II) as defined previously. In other words, the fluorescent dye(s) as defined previously are applied after the anthraquinone dye(s) of formulae (I) and/or (II) as defined previously.


According to this first embodiment, the process for dyeing keratin fibres comprises the following steps:

    • a first step of applying to said keratin fibres a cosmetic composition comprising one or more anthraquinone dye(s) of formulae (I) and/or (II) as defined previously, followed by
    • a second step of applying to said keratin fibres a cosmetic composition which comprises one or more fluorescent dyes as defined previously.


According to a preferred embodiment in at least two steps, the anthraquinone dye(s) of formulae (I) and/or (II) as defined previously are applied to the keratin fibres subsequently to the fluorescent dye(s). In other words, the anthraquinone dye(s) of formulae (I) and/or (II) are applied after the fluorescent direct dye(s).


According to this preferred embodiment, the process for dyeing keratin fibres comprises the following steps:

    • a first step of applying to said keratin fibres a cosmetic composition comprising one or more fluorescent dyes as defined previously, followed by
    • a second step of applying to said keratin fibres a cosmetic composition comprising one or more anthraquinone dye(s) of formulae (I) and/or (II) as defined previously.


Preferably, ingredients (a) and (b) are applied to the keratin fibres in a bath ratio that may range from 0.1 to 10 and more particularly from 0.2 to 8. For the purposes of the present invention, the term “bath ratio” means the ratio between the total weight of ingredient (a) or (b) and the total weight of keratin fibres to be treated.


When the dyeing process is performed in one step, ingredients (a) and (b) are advantageously left to stand on the keratin fibres for a time ranging from 1 to 90 minutes and more preferentially for a time ranging from 5 to 60 minutes.


When the dyeing process is performed in at least two steps, each of the ingredients (a) and (b) may be advantageously left to stand on the keratin fibres for a time ranging from 1 to 60 minutes and more preferentially for a time ranging from 5 to 45 minutes.


On conclusion of the dyeing process according to the invention, in one or at least two steps, the keratin fibres are advantageously rinsed with water. They may optionally be washed with a shampoo, followed by rinsing with water, before being dried or left to dry.


When the dyeing process is performed in at least two steps, the keratin fibres are advantageously rinsed with water between each step.
