Specification

FORM 2 THE PATENTS ACT, 1970 (39 of 1970) & THE PATENTS RULES, 2003 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION (See section 10, rule 13) 1. Title of the invention: COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DYEING AND/OR LIGHTENING KERATIN FIBRES 2. Applicant(s) NAME NATIONALITY ADDRESS L'OREAL French 14 rue Royale 75008 PARIS, France 3. Preamble to the description 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 cosmetic products, and particularly, to cosmetic compositions for hair. In particular, the present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for the dyeing and/or lightening keratin fibres. BACKGROUNDOFINVENTION [0002] The dyeing of keratin fibres, particularly human hair, is a well- known practice, and commonly involves the use of coloring compositions, which comprise oxidation dye precursors, generally referred to as oxidation bases and couplers. These dye precursors are colourless or weakly coloured compounds. When combined with an oxidizing agent, they give rise, by a process of oxidative condensation, to coloured compounds. [0003] Typically, the method of oxidation dyeing involves applying, to keratin fibres, oxidation bases, or a mixture of oxidation bases and couplers, with an oxidizing agent, which is added at the time of use. [0004] Generally, this method is implemented at an alkaline pH, and produces a dyeing and, at the same time, a lightening of the fibre, by the decolourization of the melanin pigment in hair. In this manner, the colourants develop into the cortex of hair and a uniform colour development is achieved. [0005] The formulation of environmentally friendly cosmetic products, which are designed and developed considering environmental issues, is becoming a major goal in an effort to meet global challenges. [0006] It is therefore essential to propose more sustainable compositions, preparation processes and ingredients to address these environmental concerns. In this context, it is important to develop new cosmetic compositions with a better carbon footprint, particularly by promoting the use of renewable raw materials and/or materials with a good index of naturalness and/or materials of natural origin and, more particularly, materials of plant origin while reducing the use of compounds of petrochemical origin. [0007] Thus, there is a need for dyeing/lightening products that have good working qualities in addition to good performance notably in terms of lightening level, colour uptake and conditioning of hair, that are also environmentally friendly. SUMMARYOFTHEINVENTION [0008] In an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a composition comprising at least 3% by weight of at least one vegetable oil, relative to a total weight of the composition; at least one fatty acid different from the vegetable oil; at least 10% by weight of at least one solid fatty compound different from the vegetable oil and fatty acid, relative to a total weight of the composition; at least one cationic polysaccharide; and at least one oxidative dye and/or at least one alkaline agent. [0009] In another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a method of dyeing/lightening keratin fibres comprising applying a composition comprising at least 3% by weight of at least one vegetable oil, relative to a total weight of the composition; at least one fatty acid different from the vegetable oil; at least 10% by weight of at least one solid fatty compound different from the vegetable oil and fatty acid, relative to a total weight of the composition; at least one cationic polysaccharide; and at least one oxidative dye and/or at least one alkaline agent, on said keratin fibres. [0010] In a further aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a use of a composition comprising at least 3% by weight of at least one vegetable oil, relative to a total weight of the composition; at least one fatty acid different from the vegetable oil; at least 10% by weight of at least one solid fatty compound different from the vegetable oil and fatty acid, relative to a total weight of the composition; at least one cationic polysaccharide; and at least one oxidative dye and/or at least one alkaline agent for dyeing/lightening keratin fibres, such as hair.

Example 1 Composition for lightening keratin fibers [0173] Composition A (according to the invention) for dyeing/lightening keratin fibres was prepared using 6 wt% vegetable oil (i.e) sunflower oil; polyol viz. 5 wt% of propylene glycol; cationic polysaccharide viz. 0.5 wt% guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride; non-ionic associative polymer viz. 0.05 wt% of cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose; 0.24 wt% of tetrasodium glutamate diacetate; ,surfactants viz. 1.50 wt% of laureth-12, 3 wt% of laureth-4, 1.50 wt% of oleth-20 and 2.40 wt%, of polysorbate 21; solid fatty compounds viz. 17 wt% of cetearyl alcohol; alkaline agent viz. 7.83 wt% of ethanolamine; fatty acids viz. 0.32 wt% of stearic acid, 0.02 wt% of myristic acid and 0.26 wt% of palmitic acid; 0.25 wt% of ascorbic acid; 0.75 wt% of sodium metabisulfite; and water (up to 100 wt%). [0174] The vegetable oil (sunflower seed oil) used in the composition, according to embodiments herein, was commercially procured from Europe ADM Speciality Oil and Fats (Société Industriélle des Oleagineux). [0175] Comparative composition B was prepared similarly as composition A, except in composition B the amount of vegetable oil was reduced to 1%. Comparative composition C was also prepared similarly as composition A except that it was prepared without vegetable oil. [0176] The ingredients used to prepare compositions A, B, and Care provided in Table 1 below, expressed in % by weight.

Each of the composition A, and the comparative composition B were mixed independently with the oxidizing composition D in a weight ratio 1:1to obtain mixtures 1and 2, respectively. [0179] Each of the mixtures 1 and 2 were applied on the hair swatches and left for a pause time of 35 minutes. The hair swatches were then rinsed to remove the mixtures and were oven dried. [0180] The colour or lightening of the hair swatches was measured using a spectrocolorimeter (such as the CM-2600D Spectrocolorimeter) with integrating sphere and D65 lighting. The colour was detected in the CIELAB 1976 colorimetric space using 3 cartesian colorimetric coordinates L*(lightness), a* (red-green axis) and b* (blue-yellow axis). Colour can also be expressed in this space with components that are more descriptive in terms of visual perception, with the C* and h polar coordinates which express saturation and hue angle. [0181] The colour difference, ΔE, which expresses the perceived difference between two colours, can be calculated from colorimetric coordinates L*, a* and b*. [0182] It is calculated as follows: ΔE* =
