  • Patent number: 7326255
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use, for dyeing keratin fibres, of at least one latent pigment, which is soluble in a medium that is suitable for dyeing, and which can be chemically, thermally or photochemically converted in the fibres into water-insoluble pigments, of formula A(B)x with A representing the chromophoric radical of dyes, and B representing a hydrogen atom or a group of formula (II) with Z representing a cationic water-solubilizing group Z+ or a polyethylene glycol residue, Y representing a hetero atom, F and F? representing a linear or branched C1-C14 alkylene chain, which may contain hetero atoms and may be substituted with one or more hydroxyl, amino or halogen groups. The invention also relates to processes for dyeing keratin fibres using latent pigments, to particular compositions containing them and to multi-compartment dyeing devices or “kits”.

  • Patent number: 7320711
    Abstract: The colorant for keratin fibers contains direct and/or oxidative dyes as well as a perfume system consisting of an encapsulated perfume and an unencapsulated perfume of the same composition. The ratio of encapsulated perfume to unencapsulated perfume is equal to about 0.5:3 to 3:0.5. The perfume system is used for removing or masking the unpleasant odor of alkalinizing agents in the colorant.

  • Patent number: 7270683
    Abstract: Provided is a hair dye composition to be used as a mixture of a first part containing an alkali agent and a second part containing an oxidizing agent, wherein the composition comprises (a) a triazacyclononane compound (1) or salt thereof, (b) 0.1 to 12 wt. %, in terms of hydrogen peroxide, of an oxidizing agent, and (c) 0.05 to 10 wt. % of an alkali agent, and the mixture has a pH of from 7.5 to 12. (R1 to R4: H or C1-6 alkyl which may be substituted by OH, R5 to R7: H, (substituted) C1-6 alkyl, (substituted) aralkyl, (substituted) heteroarylalkyl, (substituted) aryl, (substituted) heteroaryl, (substituted) C1-6 acyl, or a group (2) (in which R8 to R12 represents H, C1-6 alkyl, aralkyl or aryl and n stands for 2 to 30). The hair dye composition of the present invention has excellent hair bleaching power, can dye the hair into a bright favorable color tone, and moreover has less hair damage and less scalp irritation.

  • Patent number: 7189265
    Abstract: A composition of certain dyes with a category-2 hair bleach can simultaneously lighten hair up to seven levels and deposit various shades of color in a single step. The dyes are bleach-stable derivatives of azo, triarylmethane, thiazine, or nitro dyes. When linked at the ortho- and/or para-positions relative to the chromophoric centers and auxochrome groups located on or attached to the aromatic rings of these dyes, deactivating or weakly activating chemical groups enhance the dye stability in the alkaline bleach. The absence of ortho and/or para positioned deactivating or weakly-activating substituents, or the presence of strongly activating groups in these positions render the dye molecule susceptible to attack by the bleach and the eventual destruction of these dyes. These deactivating and protective chemical groups may be nitro, halogen, cyano, carboxyl, sulfonic, alkyl or aromatic groups, but not amino, hydroxy, alkoxy or alkylamide groups.

  • Patent number: 7186275
    Abstract: The present invention relates to hair care compositions comprising an oxidizing agent and chelants having log ? ? K CuL log ? ? K CaL ratio calculated at pH 10 of at least 3.20 wherein log KCuL is the common logarithm of the Conditional Stability Constant of said chelant with Cu2+ and log KCaL is the common logarithm of the Conditional Stability Constant of said chelant with Ca2+. Suitable chelants are diamine-N,N?-dipolyacids or monoamine monoamide-N,N?-dipolyacids. The compositions according to the present invention contribute to reducing the oxidative damage sustained by a keratinous fiber such as hair during bleaching, dyeing, perming or other oxidative treatments. Especially preferred diamine dipolyacid is ethylenediamine-N,N?-disuccinic acid (EDDS).
