COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it
is to be performed.

FIELDOFINVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure relates, in general, to personal care products,
and more particularly, to devices and compositions for dyeing of keratin fibres. The present disclosure further relates to a method for dyeing of keratin fibres.
BACKGROUNDOFINVENTION
[0002] Oxidative permanent hair dye products are widely used for coloring
hair, and for covering grey hair. Typically, these products include compositions having an oxidative dye colorant and a developer with an oxidizing agent. However, such compositions having varying consistencies face issues as they do not always form a homogenous mixture while mixing during application. This in turn affects the cosmetic properties of the product as it fails to achieve uniform dyeing of the fibres.
[0003] Further, the colorant and developer are packaged separately and
required to be mixed before application. Among commercially available products, it is already known to use two-compartment devices in the form of sachet to package the colorant and the developer separately. Such products having varied rheologies often pose issues in achieving optimum spreadability on the hair.
[0004] It is desirable to achieve a creamy texture and uniform consistency
in the compositions. However, the use of thickeners or rheology modifiers pose an
issue in respect of stability in oxidizing compositions. Such issues of stability may
be attributed to the high reactivity of such thickeners with the oxidizing agents.
[0005] Additionally, the colorant and developers are generally required to
remain on the hair for a pause time of about 30 to 60 minutes, for color development. It is highly desirable to reduce this pause time to achieve faster coloration of hair, especially without compromising on color uptake by the keratin fibres. Generally known oxidative compositions are required to have a pause time of about 60 minutes making hair dyeing a time taking process.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to improve user convenience of such
devices while providing good tinctorial and cosmetic properties in a short time.

[0042] Referring now to the figures, FIG. 1a illustrates a perspective view
of an example of a device 100, according to embodiments herein. This embodiment is the preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention. As illustrated in FIG. 1a, the device 100 is composed of a closed envelope 102, made of at least two flexible sidewalls 104a and 104b (collectively or individually referred to as 104) secured together along their peripheral edges 106, defining a sealed perimeter 108 and an internal volume. The sealed perimeter 108 has at least four ends 110a, 110b, 110c, and 110d (collectively or individually referred to as 110). Preferably, the sealed perimeter 108 has a width of between 5 to 15 mm.
[0043] The device 100 may also comprise an opening means, for example
by way of tearing or cutting with a pair of scissors. According to a preferred embodiment, the opening means is a pre-cut line 112, for example, from a first end 110a of the sealed perimeter 108 to a second end 110b of the sealed perimeter 108, as illustrated in FIG. 1a. When the device 100 is torn along the pre-cut line 112, the internal volume of the device becomes unsealed, and defining two distinct openings 212 and 214, a first opening 212 of a first compartment 202 and a second opening 214 of a second compartment 204. Preferably, the two openings 212 and 214 are adjacent.
[0044] In an embodiment, the device 100 may be torn along the pre-cut line
112 using a tool such as a pair of scissors. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the pre-cut line 112 can be produced by laser, and can then be torn easily without a tool.

[0045] Each flexible sidewall 104a and 104b is made of at least one sheet
of polymeric film. The sheet of polymeric film can be either a single layer or a
multilayer polymeric film. The layers of polymeric film may be different in
structure.
[0046] The length of the sidewalls 104a and 104b preferably ranges from
100 to 200 mm, and more preferentially from 120 to 160 mm.
[0047] The width of the sidewalls 104a and 104b preferably ranges from
100 to 200 mm, and more preferentially from 120 to 200 mm.
[0048] FIG. 1b illustrates a front view of the device of FIG.1a. FIG. 1b
illustrates that the pre-cut line 112 starts from the first end 110a of the sealed
perimeter 108 and ends at the second end 110b of the sealed perimeter 108.
[0049] FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic view of the device 100 in an open state.
The open state refers to a state when the internal volume of the device 100 is
unsealed by tearing a part of the device 100 along the pre-cut line 112. The internal
volume of the device 100 is divided in at least two distinct compartments 202 and
204, separated from one another by at least one internal wall 206.
[0050] According to the present invention, at least one of the compartments
202 contains a first composition 208, and the second compartment 204 contains a
second composition 210.
[0051] In other words, the first compartment 202 containing the first
composition 208 is separated from the second compartment 204 containing the
second composition 210 by the internal wall 206. The first composition 208 and the
second composition 210 are thus contained in two different compartments 202 and
204 and, cannot commingle together.
[0052] Preferably, the device 100 is divided into two distinct compartments
202 and 204.
[0053] According to this embodiment the two compartments 202 and 204
are joined by one wall, preferably the internal wall 206.
[0054] The internal wall 206, according to the present invention, is
comprised in the internal volume of the closed envelope 102. The internal wall 206
has at least four edges. Each of four edges of the internal wall 206 is connected to

at least one end 110 of the sealed perimeter 108. For example, a first edge of the internal wall 206 may be connected to the first end 110a, a second edge of the internal wall 206 may be connected to the second end 110b, a third edge of the internal wall 206 is connected to the third end 110c, and a fourth edge of the internal wall 206 is connected to the fourth end 110d.
[0055] The expressions “seal” or “sealed perimeter”, according to the
present disclosure, refers to a definitive bond between two sheets of polymeric film or between two parts of a sheet folded back on itself. This seal can be obtained fusing and/or mixing together the two sheets or the two parts. In other words, the seal between the two sheets or the two parts cannot be opened without damaging the walls formed by the two sheets or by the two parts. Sealing of the edges may be achieved by methods that are generally known and apparent to a person skilled in the art. The first and second compositions, may be filled in the first and second compartments, respectively, by methods generally known in the art. Various techniques and equipments are generally known in the art for sealing, filling and other packaging or fabrication of devices, sachets, etc which may be employed in achieving the various embodiments herein.
[0056] The internal wall 206 provides impermeability between the first
compartment 202 and the second compartment 204, avoiding the first composition 208 contained in the first compartment 202 to mix with the second composition 210 contained in the second compartment 204.
[0057] In the open state, when a user applies pressure to the closed envelope
102, the two compartments 202 and 204 allow discharge of the first composition 208 through the first opening 212 and the second composition 210 separately, through the second opening 214, preferably simultaneously and/or at a similar speed.
[0058] FIG. 3a illustrates a perspective view of a second embodiment of a
device 300, according to the invention. As illustrated in FIG. 3a, the device 300 is composed of a closed envelope 302, made of at least two flexible sidewalls 304a and 304b (collectively or individually referred to as 304) secured together along their peripheral edges 306, defining a sealed perimeter 308 and an internal volume.

The internal volume is divided in at least two distinct compartments 310 and 312,
separated from one another by at least one seal 314. According to the present
invention, at least one of the compartments 310 contains the first composition 208,
and the second compartment 312 contains the second composition 210.
[0059] In other words, the first compartment 310 containing the first
composition 208 is separated from the second compartment 312 containing the second composition 210 by the seal 314. The seal 314 may be formed by sealing the flexible sidewalls 304a and 304b together. The flexible sidewalls 304a and 304b may be sealed together for example by heat or ultrasonic process.
[0060] The first composition 208 and the second composition 210 are thus
contained in two different compartments 310 and 312 and, cannot commingle together.
[0061] Preferably, the device 300 is divided into two distinct compartments
310 and 312.
[0062] The sealed perimeter 308 has at least four ends 316a, 316b, 316c,
and 316d (collectively or individually referred to as 316). In an example
embodiment, the sealed perimeter 308 may have a width of between 5 to 15 mm.
[0063] The seal 314, according to the present invention, is comprised in the
internal volume of the closed envelope 302. Each of two ends of the seal 314 is
connected to at least one end 316 of the sealed perimeter 308. As illustrated in FIG.
1, one of the ends of the seal 314 is connected to the first end 316a, while the other
end of the seal 314 is connected to the second end 316c of the sealed perimeter 308.
[0064] The device 300 may also comprise an opening means for each
compartment 310 and 312. According to a preferred embodiment, the opening means includes a first pre-cut line 318, for example, from a first end 316a of the sealed perimeter 308 to a second end 316b of the sealed perimeter 308, for the first compartment 310 as illustrated in FIG. 3a. Further, the opening means includes a second pre-cut line 320, for example, from a first end 316a of the sealed perimeter 308 to a second end 316d of the sealed perimeter 308, for the second compartment 312 as illustrated in FIG. 3a. When the device 300 is torn along the pre-cut lines 318 and 320, the internal volume of the device becomes unsealed.

[0065] In an embodiment, the device 300 may be torn along the pre-cut lines
318 and 320 using a tool such as a pair of scissors. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the pre-cut lines 318 and 320 can be produced by laser, and can then be torn easily without a tool. The first compartment 310 can be opened by tearing a part of the device 300 along the first pre-cut line 318 and the second compartment 312 can be opened by tearing a part of the device 300 along the second pre-cut line 320. Therefore, the first compartment 310 and the second compartment 312 may be opened separately.
[0066] FIG. 3b illustrates a perspective view of the device 300 when the
device 300 is folded along the seal 314. When the device 300 is folded along the seal 314, a consumer may unseal the internal volume by tearing a part of the device 300 along both the pre-cut lines 318 and 320 together. Further, when a consumer applies a pressure to the closed envelope 302 and when the internal volume of the device 300 is unsealed, the two compartments 310 and 312 allow discharge of the first composition 208 and the second composition 210 separately, preferably simultaneously and/or at a similar speed. Preferably, the device can be folded along the seal 314 before unsealing the internal volume, in order to facilitate the unsealing and the discharge of the compositions. Therefore, the device 300 facilitates the unsealing of the internal volume of the device 300 and the discharge of the first composition 208 and the second composition 210.
[0067] FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of a third embodiment of a
device 400. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the device 400 is composed of two separated closed envelopes 400a and 400b. One closed envelope 400a defines a first compartment 402 and another closed envelope 400b defines a second compartment 404. According to the third embodiment, the two compartments 402 and 404 are not joined together. According to the present invention, at least one of the compartments 402 contains the first composition 208, and the second compartment 404 contains the second composition 210. In an embodiment, the first compartment is defined in a first sachet and the second compartment is defined in a second sachet, distinct of the first sachet.

[0068] Each closed envelope 400a and 400b may comprise an opening
means. According to a preferred embodiment, the opening means includes a pre-
cut line 406a and 406b as illustrated in FIG. 4. When the closed envelope 400a is
torn along the pre-cut line 406a, the first composition 208 may be moved out of the
device 400 by applying a pressure on the closed envelope 400a. When the closed
envelope 400b is torn along the pre-cut line 406b, the second composition 210 may
be moved out of the device 400 by applying a pressure on the closed envelope 400b.
The pre-cut lines 406a and 406b may be similar to pre-cut lines 318 and 320.
[0069] Accordingly, in an embodiment, the device (100, 300, or 400)
comprises the first compartment (202) and a second compartment (204) each defined in a closed envelope (102, 302, or 400a and 400b, respectively) having flexible walls.
[0070] According to a preferred embodiment, the closed envelope 102, as
well as closed envelopes 302, 400a and 400b, is made of at least one sheet of polymeric film folded back on itself and sealed at its corresponding peripheral edges 106, 306 and so on. In other words, according to this particular embodiment, the two flexible sidewalls 104a and 104b are made of the same sheet of polymeric film, which can be either a single layer or a multilayer polymeric film.
[0071] Preferably the sheet of polymeric film is a multilayer polymeric film
comprising at least two, different or identical, layers of polymeric film. Thus, the sheet of polymeric film has a laminate structure and the layers of polymeric film are superposed on one another.
[0072] A second sheet can optionally be made of paper.
[0073] The sheet of polymeric film suitable for the present invention is
preferably prepared from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyesters, polyolefins, polyamides, or polystyrenes.
[0074] Examples of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are vinyl polymers
containing vinyl chloride units in their structure, such as copolymers of vinyl chloride with vinyl esters of aliphatic acids, copolymers of vinyl chloride with esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid or with acrylonitrile, copolymers of vinyl chloride with diene bonds and unsaturated dicarboxylic acids or anhydrides thereof,

copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride with unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, etc., or polymers and copolymers of vinylidene chloride with vinyl chloride or other polymerizable compounds. The thermoplastics based on vinyl can also be rendered flexible in a manner known per se by means of primary or secondary plasticizers. The PVC sheets can, as the case may be, also be drawn monoaxially (oPVC) or biaxially.
[0075] Examples of polyesters are poly(alkylene terephthalate)s or
poly(alkylene isophthalate)s having alkyl groups or radicals containing from 2 to
10 carbon atoms or alkyl groups containing from 2 to 10 carbon atoms which are
interrupted at least by one -O-, such as, for example, poly(ethylene terephthalate)
(PET sheets), poly(propylene terephthalate), poly(butylenes terephthalate)
(poly(tetramethylene terephtalate)), poly(decamethylene terephthalate), poly(1,4-
cyclohexyldimethylol hterephthalate) or poly(ethylene 2,6
naphthalenedicarboxylate), or copolymers of poly(alkylene terephthalate) and
poly(alkylene isophthalate), the proportion of isophthalate being, for example, from
1 to 10 mol%, copolymers and terpolymers, and also block polymers and grafted
alternative forms of the abovementioned substances. Other appropriate polyesters,
such as polyethylene naphthalate, are known in the technical field under the
abbreviation PEN.
[0076] Other polyesters are copolymers of terephthalic acid and of another
polycarboxylic acid with at least one glycol. Copolyesters of terephthalic acid, of ethylene glycol and of an additional glycol are appropriate. Glycol-modified polyesters, which are known in the technical field under the name PETG, are preferred.
[0077] Appropriate polyesters are composed of poly(alkylene
terephthalate)s having alkyl groups or radicals comprising 2 to 10 carbon atoms and poly(alkylene terephthalate)s having alkyl groups or radicals containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms which are interrupted by 1 or 2 -O-.
[0078] Other preferred polyesters are poly(alkylene terephthalate)s having

[0218] Composition 1 and composition 2 were packaged in a device 100
comprising a first compartment (202) and a second compartment (204) separated by an internal wall (206), each defined in a closed envelope (102) having flexible walls, according to embodiment illustrated on figures 1a, 1b and 2.

[0219] The device 100 is composed of a closed envelope 102, made of two
flexible sidewalls 104a and 104b (collectively or individually referred to as 104)
secured together along their peripheral edges 106, defining a sealed perimeter 108
and an internal volume. The sealed perimeter 108 has four ends 110a, 110b, 110c,
and 110d (collectively or individually referred to as 110). Preferably, the sealed
perimeter 108 has a width of between 5 to 15 mm. The device 100 also comprises
an opening means, a pre-cut line 112, for example, from a first end 110a of the
sealed perimeter 108 to a second end 110b of the sealed perimeter 108, as illustrated
in FIG. 1a. The device 100 was torn along the pre-cut line 112.
[0220] Composition 1 + Composition 2: pouring and mixing of the two
compositions in hands was found to be easy. The texture and consistency was
creamy, smooth and thick, and allowed an easy and smooth spreading on hair.
[0221] Composition 1 + Composition 3: dispensing of the two compositions
was observed to be uneven and the mixing was not easy.
Evaluation of viscosity.
[0222] The viscosity of Composition 1 and Composition 2 was evaluated in
comparison with a commercially available comparative composition (also referred to herein as Composition 3, depicted in Table 3), using Viscometer model used -pro Rheo Model - R 180 with spindle M3 at 25°C. Viscosities were measured for individual compositions, i.e. Composition 1, Composition 2, and Composition 3. Further, viscosities of the mixtures of the compositions after mixing the Composition 1 with Composition 2 or Composition 3, in a 1:1 ratio, i.e. mixture of Composition 1 and Composition 2 (also referred to herein as Mixture 1); and mixture of Composition 1 and Composition 3 (also referred to herein as Mixture 2), were also measured.
[0223] Composition 3 (not an emulsion) include 0.06 wt% of tetrasodium
etidronate, 0.03 wt% of sodium salicylate, 6wt % of hydrogen peroxide, 0.04 wt% of tetrasodium pyrophosphate, 2.28 wt% of cetearyl alcohol, 0.85 wt% of trideceth-2 carboxamide MEA, 0.5 wt% of glycerin, 0.57wt% of ceteareth-25, and up to 100 wt% of water.

[0224] Results: The results of the viscosity test are depicted in Table 4. The
viscosity of Composition 2 was observed to be different as compared to Composition 3. The difference in viscosities of Composition 3 and 2 was found to facilitate improved cosmetic properties and user convenience, according to embodiment herein. It was observed that dispensing of the Composition 1 and Composition 3 was uneven due to the difference in viscosities thereby affecting the cosmetic properties and user convenience. This difference, and the improved properties, may be attributed to the carefully selected combination of ingredients in the Composition 2 within the specified weight ranges as disclosed herein. For example, Composition 2 include combination of surfactants such as ceteareth-33, and ceteareth-60 myristyl glycol which was not present in the Composition 3. Further the composition 3 was not an emulsion unlike the composition 2 as disclosed herein.
[0225] Further, on comparison of the viscosities of the combined
compositions, i.e Mixtures 1 and 2, it was observed that the Mixture 1 had creamy consistency as compared to that of Mixture 2, thereby contributing to improved user feel, and improved and uniform spreadability of the mixture/product on keratin fibres. It further led to difference in color delivery as product is intended to be applied by hands, i.e. without the requirement for brush and bowl. The creamy

consistency enabled the composition to be taken by hand for mixing and applying on keratin fibres.

Evaluation of coloration.
[0226] The coloration achieved by Mixture 1 and Mixture 2 (referred to in
Example 3) was evaluated using L*, a*, b* system. The evaluation of the coloration can be done visually or read on a spectrocolorimeter (such as Minolta CM3600d, illuminant D65, angle 10°, SCI values) for the L*, a*, b* colorimetric measurements. In this L*, a*, b* system, L* represents the intensity of the color, a* indicates the green/red color axis and b* indicates the blue/yellow color axis. The lower the value of L, the darker or more intense the color. The higher the value of a*, the redder the shade; the higher the value of b*, the yellower the shade. The variation in coloring between the colored locks of natural white hair which is untreated (control) and after treatment or coloration are defined by AE*, corresponding to the colour uptake on keratin fibres, according to the following equation:

[0227] In this equation, L*, a* and b* represent the values measured after
dyeing the natural hair comprising 90% of white hairs and L0*, a0* and b0* represent
the values measured for the untreated natural hair comprising 90% of white hairs.
[0228] The greater the value of AE, the greater the difference in color
between the control locks and the dyed locks and greater is the colour uptake.
[0229] Results: The results of the coloration test are depicted in Table 5. A
clear difference on swatches with the 2 mixtures, Mixture 1 and Mixture 2 is

observed. It was found that the Mixture 1, having AE of 43.99, had improved colour uptake on keratin fibres as compared to Mixture 2, having AE of40,39. The higher color uptake was further achieved by the Mixture 1, i.e. the product according to embodiments herein, in reduced pause time. Moreover, the intensity of the color was better with mixture 1 (L* significantly smaller for mixture 1).
