COLORING AGENTS FOR KERATIN FIBERS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to agents for coloring keratin fibers, such as,
for example, wool,
furs and, in particular, human hair, based on a developer-coupler combination
and direct dyes,
which compositions make it possible to impart a long-lasting coloring of the
fiber (comparable to
the durability of semipermanent colors) without the addition of an oxidizing
agent, causing
simultaneously a low damage of the fiber (comparable to temporary hair
colors).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the area of the coloring of keratin fibers, in particular the coloring of
hair, oxidative
dyes have attained a substantial importance. The coloration is formed by
reaction of
certain developer substances with certain coupler substances in the presence
of a
suitable oxidizing agent. For very gentle uses, however, the need exists for
colorants
which in the presence of atmospheric oxygen give lasting colorations even
without the
addition of oxidizing agents.

It is known from the EP-A 1 166 748 that the combination of oxidative dyes and
optionally direct dyes can be used to color hair without the addition of
chemical
oxidizing agents. Constant coloring results (namely a coloration that is the
same
directly after use as well as days or weeks later) are not possible with the
colorants
described in EP-A 1 166 748.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The purpose of the present invention therefore is to provide compositions
which upon
air oxidation do not develop the coloration only after days, but do so
immediately after
application giving a uniform coloring, which remains virtually constant over
aperiod of
up to 20 hair washings.

Surprisingly, it has now been found that brilliant color results, with a
natural gloss and
a long lasting even coloring without color change of the original color can be
achieved

by the use of a special combination of oxidative dyes and direct dyes, in
which at least
3 direct dyess are contained and the quantitative ratio of oxidative dyes to
direct dyes is
from 5:1 to 0.5:1. The colorant according to the invention colors the fiber in
a very
gentle manner (comparable to the conventionally used readily washed-out non-
oxidative colorants) so that the fiber remains practically undamaged. The
colorant
according to the invention provides a constant coloration which lasts over a
period of
up to 20 washings of the colored fiber.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention therefore is an agent for coloring keratin fibers,
in
particular human hair, which is free of chemical oxidants and is characterized
in that it
is in the form of an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic preparation and contains a
combination of oxidative dyes (developers, couplers) and direct dyes, said
combination
containing at least 3 direct dyes, and that the quantitative ratio of
oxidation dyes to
direct dyes equals 5:1 to 0.5:1.

starches (such as those derived, for example, from cereals, for instance
wheat, corn or rice, from
vegetables, for instance yellow pea, and tubers, for instance potato or

For example, suitable polysaccharides are described in "Encyclopedia of
Chemical Technology",
Kirk-Othmer, Third Edition, 1982, volume 3, pp. 896-900, and volume 15, pp.
439-458, in
"Polymers in Nature" by E. A. MacGregor and C. T. Greenwood, published by John
Wiley &
Sons, Chapter 6, pp. 240-328,1980, and in "Industrial Gums-Polysaccharides and
their
Derivatives", edited by Roy L. Whistler, Second Edition, published by Academic
Press Inc., the
content of these three publications being entirely incorporated by reference.
For example, starches, guar gums and celluloses and derivatives thereof may be
used. Suitable
starches include for example, of macromolecules in the form of polymers
comprising elemental
moieties that are anhydroglucose units. The number of these moieties and their
assembly make it
possible to distinguish between amylose (linear polymer) and amylopectin
(branched polymer).
The relative proportions of amylose and of amylopectin, and also their degree
of polymerization,


CA 02621871 2008-02-20
W-236FQ/CB

21
may vary as a function of the botanical origin of the starches. The botanical
origin of the starch
molecules used may be cereals or tubers. Thus, the starches may be, for
example, chosen from
corn starch, rice starch, cassaya starch, tapioca starch, barley starch,
potato starch, wheat stanch,
sorghum starch and pea starch. Starches are generally in the form of a white
powder, which is
insoluble in cold water and which has an elementary particle size ranging from
3 to 100 microns.
The starches may optionally be C1-C6 hydroxyalkylated or C1-C6 acylated (such
as acetylated).
The starches may also have undergone heat treatments. Distarch phosphates or
of compounds
rich in distarch phosphate, for instance the products sold under the
references Prejel VA-70-T
AGGL (gelatinized hydroxypropylated cassaya distarch phosphate) or Prejel TKl
(gelatinized
cassaya distarch phosphate) or Preje1200 (gelatinized acetylated cassaya
distarch phosphate) by
the company Avebe, or Structure ZEA from National Starch (hydroxypropylated
corn distarch
phosphate), Structure XL from National Starch (hydroxypropylated starch
phosphate) may also
be used.
The guar gums may be modified or unmodified. The unmodified guar gums are, for
example, the
products sold under the name Vidogum GH 175 by the company Unipectine and
under the names
Meyro-Guar 50 and Jaguar C by the company Meyhall. The modified nonionic guar
gums are,
for example, modified with C1-C6 hydroxyalkyl groups. Among hydroxyalkyl
groups, mention
may be made, for example, of hydroxymethyl, hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl and
hydroxybutyl
groups. These guar gums are well known in the state of the art and may be
prepared, for example,
by reacting corresponding alkene oxides, such aspropylene oxides, with guar
gum so as to obtain
a guar gum modified with hydroxypropyl groups. The degree of
hydroxyalkylation, which
corresponds to the number of alkylene oxide molecules consumed by the number
of free
hydroxyl functions present on the guar gum, may, for example, range from 0.4
to 1.2.
Such nonionic guar gums optionally modified with hydroxyalkyl groups are sold,
for example,
under the trade names Jaguar HP8, Jaguar HP60 and Jaguar HP120, Jaguar DC 293
and Jaguar
HP 105 by the company Rhodia Chimie (Meyhall) or under the name Galactasol
4H4FD2 by the
company Aqualon.

Klucel MF and
Klucel G by the company Aqualon.
(vii) The C12 - C30 fatty alcohols are, for example, chosen from myristyl
alcohol, cetyl alcohol,
stearyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol or mixture thereof. When fatty alcohols are
used as thickeners, at


CA 02621871 2008-02-20

22
least one additional surfactant with HLB value above about 6 is commonly
included to form bi-
layers with fatty alcohols. The most useful bi-layer structures include gel
network phase where
parallel bi-layers of fatty alcohols are swollen by water forming semi-solid
creams, and vesicle
dispersions where fatty alcohols bi-layers are curved into approximately
spherical uni-lamellar or
multi-lamellar aggregates.
(viii) The particulate and crystalline thickeners are for example, clays,
fumed silica,
microcrystalline cellulose, trihydroxystearin (ThixcinR), ethyleneglycol mono-
and di-stearate or
mixture thereof. The particulate or crystalline thickeners work via mechanisms
well known in the
art, for example particle aggregation, "house of card" particle arrangement or
crystalline fiber
formation.

Chelants: According to the present invention the compositions may comprise
chelants.
Chelants are well known in the art and refer to a molecule or a mixture of
different molecules
each capable of forming a chelate with a metal ion. Chelants are well known in
the art and a non-
exhaustive list thereof can be found in AE Martell & RM Smith, Critical
Stability Constants,
Vol. 1, Plenum Press, New York & London (1974) and AE Martell & RD Hancock,
Metal
Complexes in Aqueous Solution, Plenum Press, New York & London (1996) both
incorporated
herein by reference.


CA 02621871 2008-02-20
W-236FQ/CB

Chelants suitable for use herein are carboxylic acids (in particular
aminocarboxylic acids),
polyamines, phosphonic acids (in particular aminophosphonic acids) and
polyphosphoric acids
(in particular linear polyphosphoric acids), their salts and derivatives.
Examples of preferred chelants include ethylenediaminotetraacetic acid (EDTA),
nitrilotriacetic
5 acid, diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), ethylenediamine disuccinic
acid (EDDS),
ethylenediamine diglutaric acid (EDGA), 2-hydroxypropylenediamine disuccinic
acid (HPDS),
glycinamide-N,N'-disuccinic acid (GADS), ethylenediamine-N-N'-diglutaric acid
(EDDG),
2-hydroxypropylenediamine-N-N'-disuccinic acid (HPDDS), salts thereof and
derivatives
thereof.
10 Chelants may be incorporated into the composition of the present invention
as stabilizers and or
preservatives. In addition it has also been found that chelants provide hair
fibre damage benefits
and thus they may be utilized in order to further improve the hair damage
profile of the present
invention. Levels of chelants in the present invention may be as low as about
0.1 % by weight,
preferably at least about 0.25% by weight, more preferably about 0.5% by
weight, for the most
15 effective chelants such as diamine-N,N'-dipolyacid chelants and monoamine
monoamide-N,N'-
dipolyacid chelants (for example EDDS). Less effective chelants will be more
preferably used at
levels of at least about 1% by weight, even more preferably above about 2% by
weight of the
composition, depending of the efficiency of the chelant. Levels as high as
about 10% by weight
may be used, but above this level significant formulation issues may arise.
Solvents: Suitable solvents for use in the compositions of the present
invention include, but
are not limited to, water, butoxydiglycol, 1,2-propylene glycol, glycerol,
lower aliphatic alcohols
(e.g. ethanol, n-propanol or isoproanol), ethoxydiglycol, isopropylalcohol,
hexylene glycol,
benzyl alcohol and dipropylene glycol.
Antioxidants or reducinga agents: Suitable antioxidants or reducing agents for
use in the
compositions of the present invention include, but are not limited to,
ascorbic acid, thioglycolic
acid and sodium sulfite.

The form of the hair dye composition may be, for example, a solution,
especially an aqueous or
aqueous-alcoholic solution, a cream, a gel, an emulsion or an aerosol
composition. Its


CA 02621871 2008-02-20
W-236FQ/CB

36
composition comprises a mixture of the dye ingredients with the conventional
additive
ingredients usually used in this type of preparation.

According to an embodiment of the present invention dye powders or granules
are mixed with an
appropriate dye carrier mass prior to use to form the hair dye composition.
Particularly preferred
is the use of the dye-containing pellets according to WO 2005/044208 which are
mixed with an
appropriate dye carrier mass prior to use to form the hair dye composition. WO
2005/044208
herewith is explicitly incorporated herein by reference.

The pH of the hair dye composition according to the invention is from 5 to 11
and preferably
from 7 to 9.

Depending on the composition and the desired pH value of the hair dye
composition, the pH
value may be adjusted with an alkalizing agent or an organic or inorganic
acid.
Any agent known in the art may be used as alkalizing agent, for example
ammonia or organic
aniines, such as glucami.ne, aminomethylpropanol, monoethanolamine,
diethanolamine,
triethanolamine, monopropanolamine, dipropanolamine, tripropanolamine, 2-amino-
2-methyl-1,
3-propanediol, 2-ami.no-2-methyl-l-propanol, and 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-
propanediol
and guanidium salts, or ammonium salts, such as ammonium chloride, ammonium
sulphate,
ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium acetate, ammonium carbonate,
ammonium hydrogen carbonate, ammonium carbamate, ammonium hydroxide,
percarbonate
salts, or mixtures thereof.
As organic or inorganic acid may be used for example lactic acid, citric acid,
tartaric acid, acetic
acid or phosphoric acid and mixtures thereof.
The compositions of the present invention may comprise from 0.1% to 10% by
weight,
preferably from 0.5% to 5% by weight, most preferably from 1% to 3% by weight,
of an
alkalizing agent and/or organic or inorganic acid.

The agent according to invention is applied to the dry or previously washed
fiber and
after an exposure time of from 5 to 60 minutes, preferably from 10 to 45
minutes, it is
rinsed out with water ans optionally washed out with a shampoo. The keratin
fiber can
then optionally be post-treated in the usual manner and finally dried.

An object of the present invention is the use of an aqueous or aqueous-
alcoholic
preparation, which contains a combination of oxidative dyes and direct dyes,
said
combination containing at least 3 direct dyes and the quantitative ratio of
oxidation
dyes to direct dyes equals 5:1 to 0.5:1, for the preparation of an agent for
coloring
keratin fibers, especially human hair, said agent being free of chemical
oxidizing
agents and upon air oxidation (i.e. without the addition of chemical oxidizing
agents)
