Abstract

Compositions suitable for treating keratin fibers, which compositions comprise: (a) a protein from a seed of a plant of the Moringa genus; (b) a color-modifying active ingredient; and (c) a cosmetically-acceptable carrier component are disclosed along with methods of using and making the same.

Claims (23)

1. A composition comprising: (a) a protein from a seed of a plant of the Moringa genus; (b) a color-modifying active ingredient; and (c) a cosmetically-acceptable carrier component.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the color-modifying active ingredient comprises a component selected from the group consisting of dye precursors, direct dyes, and mixtures thereof.

3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the color-modifying active ingredient comprises a dye precursor selected from the group consisting of developers, couplers, and mixtures thereof.

4. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the color-modifying active ingredient comprises a dye precursor selected from the group consisting of indole derivatives, indoline derivatives, and mixtures thereof.

5. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the color-modifying active ingredient comprises a direct dye, and wherein the composition is free of dye precursors.

6. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the color-modifying active ingredient comprises a cationic direct dye.

7. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the color-modifying active ingredient comprises a cationic direct dye and a dye precursor selected from the group consisting of indole derivatives, indoline derivatives, and mixtures thereof.

8. The composition according to claim 5 , wherein the direct dye comprises a cationic direct dye.

9. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the color-modifying active ingredient comprises a peroxo compound.

10. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the color-modifying active ingredient comprises a peroxo compound, and wherein the composition is free of dye precursors.

11. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the color-modifying active ingredient comprises a peroxo compound and a dye precursor selected from the group consisting of indole derivatives, indoline derivatives, and mixtures thereof.

12. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the protein is obtained from a seed of a Moringa oleifera plant.

13. The composition according to claim 4 , wherein the protein is obtained from a seed of a Moringa oleifera plant.

14. The composition according to claim 6 , wherein the protein is obtained from a seed of a Moringa oleifera plant.

15. The composition according to claim 9 , wherein the protein is obtained from a seed of a Moringa oleifera plant.

16. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the protein is present as an extract from a seed of a plant of the Moringa genus.

17. The composition according to claim 16 , wherein the extract is derived from the seed with a water-glycerol mixture.

18. A method comprising:

(a) providing a composition comprising: (i) a protein from a seed of a plant of the Moringa genus; (ii) a color-modifying active ingredient; and (iii) a cosmetically-acceptable carrier component;

(b) contacting a keratin fiber with the composition; and

(c) removing the composition from the keratin fiber.

19. The method according to claim 18 , further comprising combining the composition with an oxidizing agent prior to removal of the composition from the keratin fiber.

20. A method comprising: (a) providing a keratin fiber color-modifying active ingredient; and mixing the active ingredient with a protein from a seed of a plant of the Moringa genus.
