Abstract

An agent for dyeing keratin fibers comprises a composition A comprising at least one alkalizing agent, at least one oxidative dye precursor, at least one surfactant and at least one fatty substance free of carboxylic acid groups and a composition B comprising at least one oxidizing agent and at least one surfactant. The concentration of fatty substances free of carboxylic acid groups after mixing composition A and composition B is at least 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the mixed composition A and B. The concentration of alkalizing agent after mixing composition A and composition B is not more than 1.75% by weight relative to the total weight of the mixed composition A and B.

Claims (20)

1. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers, the agent comprising:

a composition A comprising at least one alkalizing agent, at least one oxidative dye precursor, at least one surfactant and at least one fatty substance which is free of carboxyl anions, and free of carboxylic acid groups, the composition A having a pH in a range of from 3 to 12, and

a composition B comprising at least one oxidizing agent and at least one surfactant, wherein the concentration of fatty substance is free of carboxyl anions, and free of carboxylic acid groups after mixing composition A and composition B, and is at least 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the mixed composition A and B, the composition B having a pH of less than 7, and wherein the concentration of alkalizing agent after extemporaneous or successive mixing of composition A and composition B is in range of 1.0% to 1.65% by weight relative to the total weight of the mixed composition A and B and at least one of composition A, composition B, or both comprises a buffering agent.

2. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 1 , characterized in that the alkalising agent is monoethanolamine (MEA).

3. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 1 , characterized in that composition A comprises a total amount of alkalizing agent ranging from 0.1% to 3.5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition A.

4. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 1 , characterized in that composition A comprises a total amount of alkalizing agent of less than 3.5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition A.

5. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 1 , characterized in that the oxidative dye precursors comprises at least one primary intermediate selected from the group consisting of toluene-2,5-diamine, 2-methoxymethyl-p-phenylenediamine, N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-p-phenylenediamine, p-aminophenol and mixtures thereof, and at least one coupler selected from resorcinol, methyl-resorcinol, naphthol, m-aminophenol and mixtures thereof.

6. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fatty substances free of carboxylic acid groups are selected from the group consisting of liquid paraffins, liquid petroleum jelly, polydecenes, liquid fatty acid esters, liquid fatty alcohols, and mixtures thereof.

7. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 1 , characterized in that the composition A comprises an amount of fatty substances free of carboxylic acid groups of greater than 25% by total weight of composition A.

8. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 1 , characterized in that the composition B comprises an amount of fatty substances free of carboxylic acid groups of greater than 10% by total weight of composition B.

9. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 1 , characterized in that the surfactants are selected from the group consisting of non-ionic surfactants, anionic surfactants and mixtures thereof.

10. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 1 , characterized in that the surfactants are selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene (POE)/polyoxypropylene(POP)/polyoxyethylene(POE) units, oxyethylenated C 8 -C 30 alcohols, and mixtures thereof.

11. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 1 , characterized in that the oxidizing agent is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, percarbonates, persulphates, and mixtures thereof.

12. Process for dyeing keratin fibers, comprising the application to the wet or dry fibers, of the agent obtained by mixing of composition A and composition B as defined in claim 1 .

13. Process for dyeing keratin fibers, comprising the application to the wet or dry fibers of a composition obtained by extemporaneous mixing of composition A and composition B as defined in claim 1 .

14. Kit for dyeing keratin fibers, comprising the agent of claim 1 , wherein a first compartment contains composition A and a second compartment contains composition B.

15. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 3 , characterized in that composition A comprises a total amount of alkalizing agent ranging from 0.5% to 3.25% by weight.

16. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 7 , characterized in that the composition A comprises an amount of fatty substances free of carboxylic acid groups of greater than 30%.

17. An agent for dyeing keratin fibers according to claim 8 , characterized in that the composition B comprises an amount of fatty substances free of carboxylic acid groups of greater than 15% by total weight of composition B.
