Abstract: A permanent hair coloring composition is described, the hair coloring composition being produced by combining individually packaged dye, developer and salt components just prior to application to the hair, wherein the dye, developer and salt components are formulated to provide the hair coloring composition with relatively high levels of ammonium carbonate salt, additional soluble carbonate salt other than ammonium carbonate salt, and chelating agent, the ammonium carbonate salt to additional carbonate salt being present in a ratio, by weight of from about 1:0.6 to about 1:1.6, wherein, based on the combined weight of the dye, developer and salt components, the composition has a total soluble carbonate salt content of greater than about 10% by weight, and at least about 1 % by weight of chelating agent. Kits for preparing and methods for using such hair coloring compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and kit for permanently dyeing hair is provided which includes subjecting said hair to a number of treatments having a set time interval between each two consecutive such treatments. The method and kit utilize a colorant composition with a part A and part B. The overall composition will contain an ammonium carbonate or carbamate salt in combination with a chelant, the latter being present at levels of at least 1%. The combination of ammonium salts and chelant achieve reduced hair damage, enhanced color deposition and enhanced bleaching. Particularly preferred is a combination of ammonium carbonate and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt.

Abstract: A method for permanently dyeing hair is provided which includes subjecting said hair to a number of treatments having a set time interval between each two consecutive such treatments. In a first step hair is contacted for a period of about 5 seconds to about 5 minutes with a recently prepared mixture of an alkaline composition comprising a dye intermediate in a shampoo or conditioner base, a water soluble carbonate releasing salt, and a water soluble ammonium salt. Alternatively, contact can be with a water soluble ammonium carbonate or carbamate salt and a peroxide compound at acidic pH in a conditioner or shampoo base. Thereafter, the hair is rinsed with water. The number of treatments is between about 2 to about 30. Time interval between each two consecutive treatments is between about 8 hours and 30 days.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel palladium/bismuth/carbon catalysts which increase selectivity and activity and lower color (i.e., provide greater purity of reaction products when the catalyst is used in the oxidation reaction of an aldose to a salt of aldonic acid).In one embodiment, the invention is concerned with a method of preparing the catalyst. In another embodiment, the invention is concerned with use of the novel catalyst to obtain superior yields (e.g., 97% and greater). In yet another embodiment of the invention, stability of catalyst (i.e., activity over time) is enhanced when using aldehyde during the oxidation of aldose to salt of aldonic acid.
