  • Patent number: 6736862
    Abstract: A composition and method for using the composition for dyeing keratin fibers. The composition consists of indole/indoline hybrid dyes and hybrid dye precursors. More particularly, the indole/indoline hybrid dyes and hybrid dye precursors correspond to formula (I): X—S—Y  (I) where X is a group derived from an indole or indoline derivative as a melanin precursor, Y is a group derived from an oxidation dye precursor of the secondary or primary intermediate type or an indole or indoline derivative as a melanin precursor; and S is a structural element which is common constituent of the groups X and Y, a direct bond or at least one spacer group. The composition may also be used to color human skin.

  • Patent number: 6719811
    Abstract: The use of indolines of formula (I): in which R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 independently of one another represent hydrogen or C1-4 alkyl groups, or R4 and R5 together with the oxygen atoms to which they are attached may represent an alkylenedioxy group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or their salts, as oxidation dye precursors gives natural brown hair colorings. The indolines of formula (I) are also suitable as couplers in oxidation hair dyes with a conventional primary intermediate, in which they result in a modification of the tints obtainable with the primary intermediate. They are used in conventional carriers, e.g., in gel or emulsion form, preferably mixed before use or on the hair with an oxidizing agent to develop the color.
