Abstract

The invention relates to compositions for the oxidative or non-oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, compositions for the simultaneously lightening and coloring of keratin fibers or compositions for the bleaching of keratin fibers, comprising an anionic acrylic thickener obtained by polymerization of (i) 5 to 95 molar percent of at least one monomer performing a weak acid function, and of (ii) 5 to 95 molar percent of at least one monomer performing a strong acid function, wherein such composition exhibits a fraction of water-soluble polymers ranging from 5 to 50 percent by weight of the total polymer, as well as the use of the above anionic acrylic thickener to thicken compositions for the oxidative or non-oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, compositions for the simultaneously lightening and coloring of keratin fibers or compositions for the bleaching of keratin fibers.

Claims (11)

A composition for the oxidative coloring of keratin fibers, comprising at least one oxidative dye precursor, at least one thickener comprising at least one anionic acrylic copolymer obtained by polymerization of i.) 5 to 95 molar percent of at least one monomer performing a weak acid function, and of ii.) 5 to 95 molar percent of at least one monomer performing a strong acid function, wherein said copolymer exhibits a water-soluble fraction ranging from 5 to 50 percent by weight of the total copolymer, 23-35% hydrogenated polydecene, 20-30% sorbitan laurate, and 5-10% trideceth-6.

2. A composition for the non-oxidative coloring of keratin fibers, comprising at least one direct dye, at least one thickener comprising at least one anionic acrylic copolymer obtained by polymerization of i.) 5 to 95 molar percent of at least one monomer performing a weak acid function, and of ii.) 5 to 95 molar percent of at least one monomer performing a strong acid function, wherein said copolymer exhibits a water-soluble fraction ranging from 5 to 50 percent by weight of the total copolymer, 23-35% hydrogenated polydecene, 20-30% sorbitan laurate, and 5-10% trideceth-6.

3. A composition for the simultaneously lightening and coloring of keratin fibers, comprising at least one bleaching agent, at least one thickener comprising at least one anionic acrylic copolymer obtained by polymerization of i.) 5 to 95 molar percent of at least one monomer performing a weak acid function, and of ii.) 5 to 95 molar percent of at least one monomer performing a strong acid function, wherein said copolymer exhibits a water-soluble fraction ranging from 5 to 50 percent by weight of the total copolymer, 23-35% hydrogenated polydecene, 20-30% sorbitan laurate, and 5-10% trideceth-6.

4. An agent for the bleaching of keratin fibers, comprising at least one bleaching agent, at least one thickener comprising at least one anionic acrylic copolymer obtained by polymerization of i.) 5 to 95 molar percent of at least one monomer performing a weak acid function, and of ii.) 5 to 95 molar percent of at least one monomer performing a strong acid function, wherein said copolymer exhibits a water-soluble fraction ranging from 5 to 50 percent by weight of the total copolymer, 23-35% hydrogenated polydecene, 20-30% sorbitan laurate, and 5-10% trideceth-6.

5. An agent for the simultaneously lightening and coloring of keratin fibers, which is mixed with an oxidizing agent prior to use, comprising at least one dye which is stable in the presence of the used oxidizing agent, at least one thickener comprising at least one anionic acrylic copolymer obtained by polymerization of i.) 5 to 95 molar percent of at least one monomer performing a weak acid function, and of ii.) 5 to 95 molar percent of at least one monomer performing a strong acid function, wherein said copolymer exhibits a water-soluble fraction ranging from 5 to 50 percent by weight of the total copolymer, 23-35% hydrogenated polydecene, 20-30% sorbitan laurate, and 5-10% trideceth-6.

6. An agent according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer performing a weak acid function is selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, maleic acid and fumaric acid.

7. An agent according to claim 1 , wherein the monomer performing a strong acid function is selected from the group consisting of monomers having a function of the sulfonic acid type or phosponic acid type, such as 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid.

8. An agent according to claim 7 , wherein the monomer performing a strong acid function is 2-acrylamido-2-methlpropane sulfonic acid.

9. An agent according to claim 1 , characterized in that the anionic acrylic copolymer is crosslinkled or branched by a crosslinking agent which is selected from the group consisting of methylene bisacrylamide, ethylene glycol diacrylate, polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate, diacrylamide, cyanomethacrylate, vinyloxyethacrylate, methacrylate, formaldehyde, glyoxal, compositions of the glycidylether type and epoxydes.

10. An agent according to claim 1 , wherein the anionic acrylic copolymer comprises a Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate.

11. An agent according to claim 1 , comprising the thickener in an amount from 0.01 to 8.0 percent by weight, based on the active substance.
