(14) The hair-colouring preparations according to the invention can also contain one or more natural or synthetic additives commonly used in the cosmetics industry, such as solvents, surfactants, emulsifiers, wetting agents, thickeners, conditioners, etc.

(15) Examples of solvents include water, low-molecular-weight aliphatic mono- or polyalcohols, esters and ethers thereof, for example alkanols, in particular having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, butanol and isobutanol; bivalent or trivalent alcohols, in particular having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,2,6-hexanetriol, glycerin, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, polyalkylene glycols, such as triethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, tripropylene glycol and polypropylene glycol; low-molecular-weight alkyl ethers of multivalent alcohols, such as ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monopropyl ether or ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether or diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether or triethylene glycol monoethyl ether; ketones and keto alcohols, in particular having 3 to 7 carbon atoms, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl phenyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone and diacetone alcohol; ethers such as dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or diisopropylether; esters such as ethyl formate, methyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate, phenyl acetate, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate or acetic acid hydroxyethyl ester; amides such as N-methylpyrrolidone; urea, tetramethyl urea and thiodiglycol.

(16) The following can also be present: anionic, cationic, non-ionic, amphoteric or zwitterionic agents; wetting agents; surfactants, such as fatty alcohol sulphates, alkylsulphonates, alkylbenzene sulphonates, alklymethyl ammonium salts, alkylbetaine, α-olefin sulphonates, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, ethoxylated nonylphenols, fatty acid alkanolamines, ethoxylated esters of fatty acids, polyglycol ether sulphates of fatty acids and alkylpolyglycosides; thickeners, such as higher fatty alcohols, starches, cellulose derivatives, vaseline, paraffin oil, fatty acids and other fatty ingredients in emulsified form, water-soluble polymer thickeners, such as natural gums, guar gum, tara gum, xanthan gum, carob flour, pectin, dextran, agar-agar, amylose, amylopectin, dextrin, synthetic clays or hydrocolloids, such as polyvinyl alcohol; conditioning and restructuring agents such as lanolin derivatives, cholesterol, pantothenic acid, water-soluble cationic polymers, protein derivatives, amino acids, provitamins, vitamins, plant extracts, sugar and betaine; auxiliary agents such as electrolytes, antioxidants, fatty amides, sequestering agents, film-forming agents and preservatives, and beeswax.

(17) The addition to the hair-colouring preparations according to the invention of non-ionic and/or anionic surfactants, such as fatty alcohol sulphates, in particular lauryl sulphate or sodium cocoyl sulphate; ethoxylated fatty alcohol sulphates, in particular sodium lauryl ether sulphates with 2 to 4 molecular units of ethylene oxide, ethoxylated esters of fatty acids, ethoxylated nonylphenols, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, alkylbenzene sulphonates or alkanolamides of fatty acids, in a total amount preferably ranging from about 0.1 to 30% by weight, more preferably from 0.2 to 15% by weight, can be particularly advantageous.

(18) Examples of useful cationic surfactants are quaternary ammonium compounds; ammonium halides such as alkyltrimethylammonium chlorides, dialkyldimethylammonium chlorides and trialkylmethylammonium chlorides. Specific examples are cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, stearyltrimethylammonium chloride, distearyldimethylammonium chloride, lauryldimethylammonium chloride, lauryldimethylbenzylammonium chloride and tricetylmethylammonium chloride. Other useful cationic surfactants are quaternised protein hydrolysates.

(19) As well as non-ionic organic thickeners with properties similar to wax and non-ionic surfactants, the hair-colouring preparation can include the usual cosmetic cationic resins. Polyquaternium 6, Polyquaternium-7, Polyquaternium-10, Polyquaternium-11, Polyquaternium-22, Polyquaternium-35, Polyquaternium-37 and Polyquaternium-113, either alone or mixtures thereof, are particularly preferred. The total amount of said additives in the preparation can range from about 0.1 to 6% by weight.

(20) A preferred form of the invention involves the presence of ingredients alternative to silicones such as coco-caprylates, isododecane, C15-19 alkanes and isoamyl laurate.

(21) Isoamyl laurate, an ingredient of 100% plant origin which is completely biodegradable, is particularly preferred, and included in the composition in an amount ranging from 0.01 to 10% of the weight of the composition.

(22) The presence of isoamyl laurate not only gives the hair cosmetic properties (combability, shine) but also improves the fluidity of the mixture, making the mixture of dye and peroxide easier to apply.

Definitions

(23) The International Colour Chart (ICC) is a system used to classify hair dyes. This means that every hair-colouring composition has a code defining its colour result. Said code can be used by manufacturers of colour charts or dyes. In practice, the ICC system uses numbers to define the depth (level) and tone of a given colour.

(24) The colour “level” indicates how light or dark the shade is. The ICC (International Colour Chart) system uses numbers to define the depth of colour. Said values range from 1 to 11, wherein 1 denotes the darkest shade (black) and 11 the lightest shade (platinum blonde).

(25) The usual level numbers and names are as shown in Table A

(26) TABLE-US-00001 TABLE A Level Level name 1 Black 2 Very dark brown 3 Dark brown 4 Medium brown 5 Light brown 6 Dark blonde 7 Medium blonde 8 Light blonde 9 Very light blonde 10 Lightest blonde 11 Platinum blonde

(27) The tone indicates how cool or warm a colour is, and includes colours such as gold, ash and copper.

(28) Although the level measurement is almost identical for all manufacturers, each manufacturer follows its own system when classifying tone. Tone is indicated by a number, usually placed after the level, separated by a decimal point “.”, a comma “,” or a slash “/”. The classification used by the Applicant is set out below:

(29) TABLE-US-00002 Tone number Tone name 0 Natural (grey-neutral) 1 Ash (blue) 2 Irisé (violet) 3 Gold (yellow) 4 Copper (orange) 5 Mahogany (violet red) 6 Red (red) 7 Matte (green) 8 Pearl

(30) Some dyes can have a double tone, and it is usual to place two numbers after the decimal point of the level to express said characteristic. For example, if the colour chart contains the number 7.21, the first number indicates the medium blonde level (7), the second indicates the irisé tone (2), and the third number indicates a second ash tone (3). Said colour will be called “medium blonde irisé ash”.

(36) Test 1: Colour Change Due to Light and Heat

(37) The test was conducted on IHIP level 10 Lightest Blonde locks of hair, which had been dyed with the formulations listed in Table 2 mixed with activator A2 at the ratio of 1:1.5, with a processing time of 35 minutes.

(38) A Konica Minolta colorimeter was used to evaluate colour stability.

(39) In the CIELAB colour space, L* indicates sheen and a* and b* are the colour coordinates. a* and b* indicate the colour directions: +a* is the direction of red, −a* is the direction of green, +b* is the direction of yellow and −b* is the direction of blue.

(40) Parameter b* (direction of yellow) was considered for the example below. The higher parameter b*, the greater the yellow component of the dye. If the yellow component increases, the violet component decreases. Violet is the component that changes most following exposure to light, air and heat of hair dyed with the dye pair MBB+MAP.

(41) The locks were measured with the colorimeter at time 0 and after 60000 Kj of exposure to SUNTEST XLS+ (ATLAS) at the temperature of 50° C.

(42) Table 3 shows the values of b* which represent the colour change of the different compositions over time.

(43) TABLE-US-00005 TABLE 3 Colour change Δb* F1* 0.29 F2 1.06 F3 1.57 F4 0.94

(44) The data show that composition F3 containing the pair MBB and MAP exhibits a major colour change from violet to yellow. Composition F1* exhibits the smallest colour change after exposure to light and heat.
