Colouring composition
View Patent ↗The present invention is related to an aqueous coloring composition for keratin fibres especially human hair. Accordingly the subject of the present invention is an aqueous hair coloring composition comprising at least one hair dye and at least one color effect pigment consisting of synthetic mica coated with metal oxide or oxides and having a volume particle size distribution in the range of 1 to 750 μm at a concentration of 0.01 to 10% by weight, calculated to total composition.
1. An aqueous composition for coloring keratin fibers comprising:
at least one hair dye; and
at least one color effect pigment consisting of synthetic fluorphologopite coated with metal oxide or oxides and having a volume particle size distribution in the range of 1 to 750 μm at a concentration of 0.01 to 10% by weight, calculated to the total composition.
2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one hair dye comprises at least one direct dye.
3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one hair dye comprises at least one oxidative dye precursor and, optionally, at least one coupling substance.
4. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one hair dye is at a concentration of 0.001 to 5% calculated to the total composition.
5. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising:
thickening and/or gelling agents.
6. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of non-ionic, cationic, anionic and amphoteric surfactants.
7. The composition according to claim 6 , further comprising:
at least one fatty alcohol.
8. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one conditioning agent.
9. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising:
one or more organic solvent(s).
10. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one UV filter.
11. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one oxidizing agent.
12. A process for coloring hair comprising:
applying a first composition according to claim 1 onto human hair; and
rinsing the first composition from the hair after a processing time of 5 to 45 minutes at a temperature of 20 to 45° C.
13. The process for coloring hair according to claim 12 , further comprising:
mixing the first composition with a second composition to form a mixture, wherein the second composition comprises at least one oxidizing agent;
applying the mixture onto the hair; and
rinsing the mixture from the hair after a processing time of 5 to 45 minutes at a temperature of 20 to 45° C.
14. The process for coloring hair according to claim 12 , further comprising:
bleaching the hair with a bleaching composition; and
rinsing the bleaching composition from the hair;
applying the first composition onto the hair; and
rinsing the first composition from the hair after a processing time of 5 to 45 minutes at a temperature of 20 to 45° C.
15. The process for coloring hair according to claim 12 , further comprising:
applying a second composition onto the hair, wherein the second composition comprises at least one oxidizing agent;
leaving the second com position on the hair for 5 to 45 minutes without rinsing the second composition off the hair;
applying the first composition onto the hair; and
rinsing the first and second compositions from the hair after processing an additional 5 to 45 minutes to provide both colouring and highlighting of the hair.
16. A process for treating keratin fibers comprising:
adding synthetic fluorphologopite coated with metal oxide or oxides with a volume particle size distribution in the range of 1 to 750 μm into a composition comprising at least one hair dye prior to application onto the keratin fibers.
