  • Patent number: 10512598
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a liquid agent and/or hair dye for oxidative coloring of keratinous fibers with improved color performance and nourishing effect. In an embodiment, the agent comprises, in a hydrous cosmetic carrier: (a) a fatty acid which is liquid at 20° C. and has about 16-22 carbon atoms in an amount of about 0.1-15 wt. %, (b) an alkanolamine as an alkalizing agent, selected from monoethanolamine, 2-amino-2-methylpropanol and triethanolamine, in an amount such that at least one part of the fatty acid is present as soap, (c) an oil component different from (a) in an amount of about 0.05-5 wt. %, (d) an alkylamidoamine in an amount of about 0.05-6 wt. %, and (e) an oxidation dye precursor. The agent does not contain any branched fatty alcohols having about 7 or more carbon atoms, and does not contain any fatty alcohols having a melting point of about 25° C. or higher.

  • Patent number: 10143634
    Abstract: A composition for oxidative hair treatment, containing 50-96% by weight; 0.5-20% by weight hydrogen peroxide; at least one polyethylene glycol ether of a monoester of glycerol and a C12-C22 carboxylic acid having 110-500 ethylene oxide units in the molecule, according to formula (I), wherein the sum of the indices x+y+z stands for a number in the range of 110 to 500, and R stands for an alkyl functional group having 11 to 21 carbon atoms, which may be saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, wherein all stated quantities are based on the weight of the oxidation composition. Wherein the composition is suited for use as a developer for oxidative hair lighteners and/or hair dyes. The alkaline composition (A) is present as an oil-in-water emulsion and includes at least one alkalizing agent, and has a pH in the range of 8 to 11.5.

  • Patent number: 8882855
    Abstract: The present specification provides for an agent for dyeing keratinic fibers. The agent includes, in a gel-like carrier at least one oxidation dye precursor. The gel-like carrier includes at least one emulsifier combination. The emulsifier combination includes one or more non-ionic polyethoxylated emulsifiers selected from ethoxylated fatty alcohols containing between 8 and 22 carbon atoms, ethoxylated castor oil, or combinations thereof, and one or more polyethylene glycols having an average molecular weight between 100 and 100,000 grams per mole (g-MOL?1). The gel-like carrier also includes at least one polymeric thickener selected from homopolymers of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, copolymers of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid with C1-C4 alkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, or combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 8858652
    Abstract: The specification describes an agent for coloring keratinic fibers. The agent includes, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, at least one oxidation dye precursor, a precursor of a nature-analogous dye, a substantive dye, or combinations thereof. The agent also includes a carrier base combination. The carrier base combination includes at least one fatty substance of formula (I), in which R and R? in each case mutually independently denote a saturated or unsaturated C6-C22 alkyl chain; at least one nonionic surfactant of formula (II),R1-O-[G]p(II) in which R1 denotes a saturated or unsaturated C6-C22 alkyl chain, G denotes a sugar residue with 5 or 6 carbon atoms and p denotes a number from 1 to 10; and at least one cationic polymer, at least one amphoteric polymer, or combinations thereof.
