Abstract

The invention relates to a composition comprising at least one oxidation coupler chosen from 6-hydroxybenzomorpholine of formula (I), one of its addition salts, its solvates and/or the solvates of its salts, at least one oxidation coupler chosen from 2-amino-5-ethylphenol of formula (II), one of its addition salts, its solvates and/or the solvates of its salts, at least one oxyethylenated C 8 -C 30 fatty acid ester of sorbitan, and at least one C 8 -C 30 fatty acid. The invention also relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibres, preferably the hair, comprising the application of the composition to said keratin fibres.

The composition of claim 1 , wherein the total amount of oxidation coupler(s) chosen from 6-hydroxybenzomorpholine(s) of formula (I), addition salts thereof, solvates thereof, solvates of its salts thereof, or mixtures of two or more thereof ranges from 0.001% to 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the total amount of oxidation coupler(s) chosen from 2-amino-5-ethylphenol(s) of formula (II), addition salts thereof, solvates thereof, solvates of its salts thereof, or mixtures of two or more thereof ranges from 0.001% to 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

4. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising at least one oxidation base.
