PIGMENT DYEING COMPOSITION BASED ON A PARTICULAR ACRYLIC
POLYMER AND ON SILICONE COPOLYMER, AND DYEING METHOD
The present invention relates to a composition for dyeing keratin fibres
comprising an aqueous dispersion of particles of a particular acrylic polymer, a linear
block silicone copolymer and a pigment, and also to a dyeing method using said
composition.
It is already known practice in the field of dyeing keratin fibres, in particular
human keratin fibres, to dye keratin fibres by various techniques, starting from direct
dyes or pigments for non-permanent colourings or from dye precursors for permanent
colourings.
Non-permanent dyeing or direct dyeing consists in dyeing the keratin fibres with
dye compositions containing direct dyes. These dyes are coloured and colouring
molecules that have an affinity for the keratin fibres. They are applied to the keratin
fibres for a time necessary to obtain the desired colouring, and are then rinsed out.
The standard dyes that are used are, in particular, dyes of the nitrobenzene,
anthraquinone, nitropyridine, azo, xanthene, acridine, azine or triarylmethane type, or
natural dyes.
Some of these dyes may be used under lightening conditions, thereby making it
possible to obtain colourings that are visible on dark hair.
It is also known practice to dye keratin fibres permanently by oxidation dyeing.
This dyeing technique consists in applying, to the keratin fibres, a composition
containing dye precursors such as oxidation bases and couplers. Under the action of
an oxidizing agent, these precursors will form one or more coloured substances in the
hair.
The variety of molecules used as oxidation bases and couplers allows a wide
range of colours to be obtained, and the colourings resulting therefrom are permanent,
strong and resistant to external agents, especially to light, inclement weather, washing,
perspiration and rubbing.
In order to be visible on dark hair, these two dyeing techniques require prior or
simultaneous bleaching of the keratin fibres. This bleaching step, carried out with an
oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or persalts, results in considerable
degradation of the keratin fibres, which adversely affects their cosmetic properties. The
hair then has a tendency to become coarse, more difficult to disentangle and more
brittle.
Another dyeing method consists in using pigments. Specifically, the use of
pigment at the surface of keratin fibres generally makes it possible to obtain colourings
that are visible on dark hair, since the surface pigment masks the natural colour of the
fibre. The use of pigment for dyeing keratin fibres is, for example, described in patent
application FR 2 741 530, which recommends using, for temporary dyeing of keratin
fibres, a composition comprising at least one dispersion of particles of film-forming
polymer comprising at least one acid function and at least one pigment dispersed in
the continuous phase of said dispersion.
The colourings obtained by this dyeing method have the drawback of having poor
shampoo resistance.
Furthermore, it is known to produce coloured coatings of the hair using a
composition comprising an electrophilic monomer of cyanoacrylate type, and a
pigment, in particular in document EP 1 649 898. Such a composition makes it possible
to obtain completely coated and non-greasy hair. However, the coating obtained is not
completely satisfactory in the face of external agents, such as washing and
perspiration. Furthermore, the coating obtained is sensitive to fatty substances, such as
sebum.
It is also possible to colour the hair (coloured coating) using a pressure-sensitive
adhesive silicone copolymer, in particular a copolymer based on silicone resin and on
silicone fluid. Once deposited on the hair, these copolymers have the advantage of
providing colour in a long-lasting manner. On the other hand, the hair treated is rather
coarse to the touch.
Thus, the objective of the present invention is to develop a composition for
dyeing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, which makes
it possible to obtain a homogeneous and smooth coloured coating on the hair, and
also hairs that are completely individualized, while forming a coating that is resistant to
shampoo and to the various attacks to which the hair may be subjected, without
degrading the keratin fibres.
This objective is achieved with the present invention, one subject of which is a
composition for dyeing keratin fibres, especially human keratin fibres such as the hair,
comprising at least one aqueous dispersion of particles of hybrid film-forming
hydrophobic acrylic polymer, at least one linear block silicone copolymer and at least
one pigment.
Another subject of the present invention is a method for dyeing keratin fibres,
especially human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising the application to said
fibres of a composition as defined above.
The term "at least one" is understood to mean "one or more".
The term "comprising a" is understood to mean "comprising at least one", unless
otherwise specified.
Through the use of such a composition, coloured coatings are obtained on the
keratin fibres that make it possible to obtain a colouring that is visible on all types of
hair in a shampoo-resistant manner while preserving the physical qualities of the
keratin fibre. Such a coating is in particular resistant to the external attacks which the
hair may be subjected to, such as blow drying and perspiration. It makes it possible in
particular to obtain a smooth and homogeneous deposition. Furthermore, it has been
observed, surprisingly, that the hair remained completely individualized and could be
styled without problems, and that the styling properties contributed to the fibre were
shampoo-resistant.
The term "individualized hairs" is understood to mean hairs which, after
application of the composition and drying, are not stuck together (or are all separated
from one another) and thus do not form clumps of hair, the coating being formed
around virtually each hair.

Linear block silicone copolymer
The silicone copolymer used in the composition according to the invention is a
linear block copolymer, that is to say an uncrosslinked copolymer, obtained by chain
extension and not by crosslinking.
The term "block copolymer" (or "sequential copolymer") denotes a polymer
comprising at least two distinct blocks (sequences). Each block of the polymer results
from one type of monomer or from several types of different monomers. This means
that each block can be composed of a homopolymer or of a copolymer, it being
possible for this copolymer constituting the block to be in its turn a random or
alternating copolymer.
The silicone copolymer used in the composition according to the invention
preferably comprises at least two distinct silicone blocks, each block of the polymer
resulting from one type of silicone monomer or from several types of different silicone
monomers, such as mentioned below.
It should also be noted that the copolymer is "linear"; in other words, the
structure of the polymer is neither branched nor star-branched nor grafted.
The linear block silicone copolymer is advantageously provided in the form of
particles in dispersion in an aqueous medium.
The aqueous dispersion of block copolymer particles is a silicone-in-water
(Sil/W) emulsion, the oily globules of which are composed of a silicone of high
viscosity, so that these globules appear to form as "soft particles".
The size of the linear block silicone copolymer particles can vary widely.
Preferably, in the present patent application, the linear block silicone copolymer
particles generally exhibit a number-average size of less than or equal to 2 microns
and preferably of less than or equal to 1 micron.
The aqueous dispersions of linear block silicone copolymer particles used in the
composition according to the invention can be chosen in particular from those
described in the document EP-A-874 017, the teaching of which is incorporated here

silicon-comprising or oxygen-comprising groups.
Preferably, at least 80% of the R groups are alkyl groups and better still methyl

radicals and the R2 radicals at the chain end are vinyl radicals while the other two R2
radicals are methyl radicals.
The organosilicone compound (ii) can be chosen from polysiloxanes of formula
(I) or compounds acting as chain-extending agent. If it is a compound of formula (I),
the polysiloxane (i) will comprise a first reactive group and the organosilicone
compound (ii) will comprise a second reactive group which will react with the first. If it
is a chain-extending agent, it can be a silane, a siloxane (disiloxane or trisiloxane) or a

58000, 73360, 73915 and 75470, or the pigments obtained by oxidative polymerization
of indole or phenol derivatives, as are described in Patent FR 2 679 771 .
Mention may also be made, as example, of pigment pastes formed of organic
pigment, such as the products sold by Hoechst under the names:
- Cosmenyl Yellow 10G: Pigment Yellow 3 (CI 11710);
- Cosmenyl Yellow G: Pigment Yellow 1 (CI 11680);

The pigments in accordance with the invention can also be in the form of
composite pigments, as are described in Patent EP 1 184 426. These composite
pigments can be composed in particular of particles comprising an inorganic core, at
least one binder, which provides for the attachment of the organic pigments to the
core, and at least one organic pigment which at least partially covers the core.
The organic pigment can also be a lake. The term "lake" is understood to mean
dyes adsorbed onto insoluble particles, the combination thus obtained remaining
insoluble during use.
The inorganic substrates onto which the dyes are adsorbed are, for example,
alumina, silica, calcium sodium borosilicate, calcium aluminium borosilicate and
aluminium.
Mention may be made, among the dyes, of carminic acid. Mention may also be
made of the dyes known under the following names: D&C Red 2 1 (CI 45 380), D&C
Orange 5 (CI 45 370), D&C Red 27 (CI 45 410), D&C Orange 10 (CI 45 425), D&C
Red 3 (CI 45 430), D&C Red 4 (CI 15 510), D&C Red 33 (CI 17 200), D&C Yellow 5

An example of a lake that may be mentioned is the product known under the
following name: D&C Red 7 (CI 15 850:1 ) .
The pigment can also be a special-effect pigment. The term "special-effect
pigments" is understood to mean pigments which generally create a coloured
appearance (characterized by a certain shade, a certain vividness and a certain
brightness) which is not uniform and which changes as a function of the conditions of
observation (light, temperature, angles of observation, etc.). They thus contrast with
coloured pigments that afford a conventional uniform opaque, semi-transparent or
transparent shade.
There exist several types of special-effect pigments: those with a low refractive
index, such as fluorescent, photochromic or thermochromic pigments, and those with a
higher refractive index, such as pearlescent agents, interferential pigments or glitter.
Mention may be made, as examples of special-effect pigments, of pearlescent
pigments, such as mica covered with titanium dioxide or with bismuth oxychloride,
coloured pearlescent pigments, such as mica covered with titanium dioxide and with
iron oxides, mica covered with iron oxide, mica covered with titanium dioxide and in
particular with ferric blue or chromium oxide or mica covered with titanium dioxide and
with an organic pigment as defined above, and pearlescent pigments based on
bismuth oxychloride. Mention may be made, as pearlescent pigments, of the following
pearlescent agents: Cellini sold by Engelhard (mica-Ti0 2-lake), Prestige sold by Eckart
(mica-Ti0 2) , Prestige Bronze sold by Eckart (mica-Fe20 3) or Colorona sold by Merck
Mention may also be made of pearlescent agents of gold colour sold in particular
by Engelhard under the names of Brilliant Gold 212G (Timica), Gold 222C (Cloisonne),
Sparkle Gold (Timica), Gold 4504 (Chromalite) and Monarch Gold 233X (Cloisonne);
bronze pearlescent agents sold in particular by Merck under the names Bronze Fine
(17384) (Colorona) and Bronze (17353) (Colorona) and by Engelhard under the name
Super Bronze (Cloisonne); orange pearlescent agents sold in particular by Engelhard
under the names Orange 363C (Cloisonne) and Orange MCR 101 (Cosmica) and by
Merck under the names Passion Orange (Colorona) and Matte Orange (17449)
(Microna); brown-coloured pearlescent agents sold in particular by Engelhard under
the names Nu-Antique Copper 340XB (Cloisonne) and Brown CL4509 (Chromalite);

sold in particular by Engelhard under the name Yellow (4502) (Chromalite); redcoloured
pearlescent agents with a gold glint sold in particular by Engelhard under the
name Sunstone G012 (Gemtone); pink pearlescent agents sold in particular by
Engelhard under the name Tan Opale G005 (Gemtone); black pearlescent agents with
a gold glint sold in particular by Engelhard under the name Nu-Antique Bronze 240 AB
(Timica); blue pearlescent agents sold in particular by Merck under the name Matte
Blue (17433) (Microna); white pearlescent agents with a silvery glint sold in particular
by Merck under the name Xirona Silver; golden green pinkish orangey pearlescent
agents sold in particular by Merck under the name Indian Summer (Xirona); and
mixtures thereof.
Mention may also be made, still as examples of pearlescent agents, of particles
comprising a borosilicate substrate coated with titanium oxide.
Particles having a glass substrate coated with titanium oxide are especially sold
under the name Metashine MC1 080RY by the company Toyal.
Finally, mention may also be made, as examples of pearlescent agents, of
polyethylene terephthalate glitter, in particular that sold by Meadowbrook Inventions
under the name Silver 1P 0.004X0.004 (silver glitter).
It is also possible to envisage multilayer pigments based on synthetic substrates,
such as alumina, silica, calcium sodium borosilicate, calcium aluminium borosilicate
and aluminium.
The special-effect pigments can also be chosen from reflective particles, that is
to say in particular particles having a size, a structure, in particular a thickness of the
layer or layers of which it is composed and their physical and chemical nature, and a
surface condition which allow them to reflect incident light. This reflection may, where
appropriate, have an intensity sufficient to create at the surface of the composition or
of the mixture, when it is applied to the support to be made up, points of
overbrightness that are visible to the naked eye, i.e. more luminous points that contrast
with their environment by appearing to sparkle.
The reflective particles can be selected so as not to detrimentally affect, to a
significant extent, the colouring effect generated by the colouring agents which are
combined with them and more particularly so as to optimize this effect in terms of
colour rendition. They can more particularly have a yellow, pink, red, bronze, orangey,
brown, gold and/or coppery colour or glint.
These particles may have varied forms and may especially be in platelet or
globular form, in particular in spherical form.
The reflective particles, whatever their form, may or may not have a multilayer
structure and, in the case of a multilayer structure, may have, for example, at least one
layer of uniform thickness, in particular of a reflective material.
When the reflective particles do not have a multilayer structure, they may be
composed, for example, of metal oxides, especially titanium or iron oxides obtained
synthetically.
When the reflective particles have a multilayer structure, they may comprise, for
example, a natural or synthetic substrate, especially a synthetic substrate at least
partially coated with at least one layer of a reflective material, especially of at least one
metal or metallic material. The substrate may be made of one or more organic and/or
inorganic materials.
More particularly, it may be chosen from glasses, ceramics, graphite, metal
oxides, aluminas, silicas, silicates, especially aluminosilicates and borosilicates, and
synthetic mica, and mixtures thereof, this list not being limiting.
The reflective material may comprise a layer of metal or of a metallic material.
Reflective particles are described in particular in the documents
JP-A-091 88830, JP-A-1 0 158450, JP-A-1 0 158541 , JP-A-07258460 and JP-A-
05017710.
Again as an example of reflective particles comprising a mineral substrate
coated with a layer of metal, mention may also be made of particles comprising a
silver-coated borosilicate substrate.
Particles with a silver-coated glass substrate, in the form of platelets, are sold
under the name MICROGLASS METASHINE REFSX 2025 PS by the company
TOYAL. Particles with a glass substrate coated with nickel/chromium/molybdenum
alloy are sold under the name CRYSTAL STAR GF 550 and GF 2525 by this same
company.
Use may also be made of particles comprising a metallic substrate such as
silver, aluminium, iron, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, gold, copper, zinc, tin,
manganese, steel, bronze or titanium, said substrate being coated with at least one
layer of at least one metal oxide such as titanium oxide, aluminium oxide, iron oxide,
cerium oxide, chromium oxide or silicon oxides, and mixtures thereof.
Mention may be made, as examples, of aluminium powder, bronze powder or
copper powder coated with Si0 2 sold under the name Visionaire by Eckart.
Mention may also be made of pigments with an interference effect which are not
attached to a substrate, such as liquid crystals (Helicones HC from Wacker),
interference holographic glitter (Geometric Pigments or Spectra f/x from Spectratek).
Special-effect pigments also include fluorescent pigments, whether these are
substances which are fluorescent in daylight or which produce ultraviolet fluorescence,
phosphorescent pigments, photochromic pigments, thermochromic pigments and
quantum dots, for example sold by Quantum Dots Corporation.
Quantum dots are luminescent semiconductor nanoparticles capable of emitting,
under light excitation, radiation exhibiting a wavelength of between 400 nm and 700
nm. These nanoparticles are known from the literature. In particular, they may be
manufactured according to the processes described, for example, in US 6 225 198 or
US 5 990 479, in the publications cited therein and also in the following publications:
Dabboussi B.O. et al., "(CdSe)ZnS core-shell quantum dots: synthesis and
characterisation of a size series of highly luminescent nanocristallites", Journal of
Physical Chemistry B, vol. 101 , 1997, pp 9463-9475, and Peng, Xiaogang et al.,
"Epitaxial growth of highly luminescent CdSe/CdS core/shell nanocrystals with
photostability and electronic accessibility", Journal of the American Chemical Society,
vol. 119, No. 30, pp 7019-7029.
The variety of the pigments which can be used in the present invention makes it
possible to obtain a rich palette of colours and also specific optical effects, such as
metallic effects or interference effects.
The size of the pigment used in the cosmetic composition according to the
present invention is generally between 10 nm and 200 m h , preferably between 20 nm
and 80 m h and more preferably between 30 nm and 50 m h .
The pigments may be dispersed in the product by means of a dispersant.
The dispersant serves to protect the dispersed particles from the agglomeration
orflocculation thereof. This dispersant can be a surfactant, an oligomer, a polymer or a
mixture of several thereof, bearing one or more functionalities having a strong affinity
for the surface of the particles to be dispersed. In particular, they can become attached
physically or chemically to the surface of the pigments. These dispersants additionally
have at least one functional group compatible with or soluble in the continuous
medium. Use is made in particular of esters of 12-hydroxystearic acid, in particular,
and of C8 to C20 fatty acid and of polyol, for instance glycerol or diglycerol, such as
poly(12-hydroxystearic acid) stearate with a molecular weight of approximately 750
g/mol, such as that sold under the name of Solsperse 2 1 000 by Avecia, polyglyceryl-2
dipolyhydroxystearate (CTFA name), sold under the reference Dehymyls PGPH by
Henkel, or polyhydroxystearic acid, such as that sold under the reference Arlacel P100
by Uniqema, and mixtures thereof.
Mention may be made, as another dispersant which can be used in the
compositions of the invention, of the quaternary ammonium derivatives of
polycondensed fatty acids, such as Solsperse 17 000, sold by Avecia, or
polydimethylsiloxane/oxypropylene mixtures, such as those sold by Dow Corning
under the references DC2-5185 and DC2-5225 C.
The pigments used in the cosmetic composition according to the invention may
be surface-treated with an organic agent.
Thus, the pigments surface-treated beforehand of use in the context of the
invention are pigments which have been completely or partially subjected to a surface
treatment of chemical, electronic, electrochemical, mechanochemical or mechanical
nature with an organic agent, such as those which are described in particular in
Cosmetics and Toiletries, February 1990, vol. 105, pp. 53-64, before being dispersed
in the composition in accordance with the invention. These organic agents can, for
example, be chosen from waxes, for example carnauba wax and beeswax; fatty acids,
fatty alcohols and their derivatives, such as stearic acid, hydroxystearic acid, stearyl
alcohol, hydroxystearyl alcohol, lauric acid and their derivatives; anionic surfactants;
lecithins; sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, titanium, zinc or aluminium salts of
fatty acids, for example aluminium stearate or laurate; metal alkoxides; polyethylene;
(meth)acrylic polymers, for example polymethyl methacrylates; polymers and
copolymers comprising acrylate units; alkanolamines; silicone compounds, for
example silicones or polydimethylsiloxanes; fluorinated organic compounds, for
example perfluoroalkyl ethers; or fluorosilicone compounds.
The surface-treated pigments of use in the cosmetic composition according to
the invention may also have been treated with a mixture of these compounds and/or
have undergone several surface treatments.
The surface-treated pigments of use in the context of the present invention can
be prepared according to surface treatment techniques well known to a person skilled
in the art or found as such commercially.
Preferably, the surface-treated pigments are covered with an organic layer.
The organic agent with which the pigments are treated can be deposited on the
pigments by solvent evaporation, chemical reaction between the molecules of the
surface agent or creation of a covalent bond between the surface agent and the
pigments.
The surface treatment may thus be performed, for example, by chemical reaction
of a surface agent with the surface of the pigments and creation of a covalent bond
between the surface agent and the pigments or the fillers. This method is described in
particular in Patent US 4 578 266.
Preferably, use will be made of an organic agent covalently bonded to the
pigments.
The agent for the surface treatment can represent from 0.1% to 50% by weight,
preferably from 0.5% to 30% by weight and more preferentially still from 1% to 10% by
weight, of the total weight of the surface-treated pigment.
Preferably, the surface treatments of the pigments are chosen from the following
treatments:
- a PEG-silicone treatment, for instance the AQ surface treatment sold by LCW;
- a methicone treatment, for instance the SI surface treatment sold by LCW;
- a dimethicone treatment, for instance the Covasil 3.05 surface treatment sold
by LCW;
- a dimethicone/trimethyl siloxysilicate treatment, for instance the Covasil 4.05
surface treatment sold by LCW;
- a magnesium myristate treatment, for instance the MM surface treatment sold
by LCW;
- an aluminium dimyristate treatment, for instance the Ml surface treatment sold
by Miyoshi;
- a perfluoropolymethylisopropyl ether treatment, for instance the FHC surface
treatment sold by LCW;
- an isostearyl sebacate treatment, for instance the HS surface treatment sold by
Miyoshi;
- a perfluoroalkyl phosphate treatment, for instance the PF surface treatment sold
by Daito;
- an acrylate/dimethicone copolymer and perfluoroalkyl phosphate treatment, for
instance the FSA surface treatment sold by Daito;
- a polymethylhydrosiloxane/perfluoroalkyl phosphate treatment, such as the
FS01 surface treatment sold by Daito;
- an acrylate/dimethicone copolymer treatment, for instance the ASC surface
treatment sold by Daito;
- an isopropyl titanium triisostearate treatment, for instance the ITT surface
treatment sold by Daito;
- an acrylate copolymer treatment, for instance the APD surface treatment sold
by Daito.
- a perfluoroalkyl phosphate/isopropyl titanium triisostearate treatment, such as
the PF + ITT surface treatment sold by Daito.
Preferably, the pigment is chosen from inorganic pigments or inorganic/organic
mixed pigments.
The amount of pigment(s) can vary from 0.0 1% to 30% by weight, more
particularly from 0.05% to 20% by weight and preferably from 0.1% to 15% by weight,
relative to the total weight of the composition.
The composition of the invention can comprise other coloured or colouring
entities, such as direct dyes or dye precursors.
Thickener
According to a preferred embodiment, the composition according to the invention
comprises at least one thickener chosen from polymeric or non-polymeric, inorganic or
organic thickeners and mixtures thereof.
The term "thickener" is understood to mean a compound which modifies the
rheology of the medium into which it is incorporated.
According to a specific embodiment of the invention , the composition comprises
at least one inorganic thickener.
Preferably, the thickener or thickeners is/are chosen from fumed silica, clays or
mixtures thereof.
The fumed silicas can be obtained by high-temperature pyrolysis of a volatile
silicon compound in an oxyhydrogen flame, producing a finely divided silica. This
process makes it possible in particular to obtain hydrophilic silicas which have a large
number of silanol groups at their surface. Such hydrophilic silicas are sold for example
under the names Aerosil 130®, Aerosil 200®, Aerosil 255®, Aerosil 300® and Aerosil
380® by Degussa and Cab-O-Sil HS-5®, Cab-O-Sil EH-5®, Cab-O-Sil LM-1 30®, Cab-
O-Sil MS-55® and Cab-O-Sil M-5® by Cabot.
It is possible to chemically modify the surface of the said silica via a chemical
reaction which brings about a reduction in the number of silanol groups. It is possible
in particular to replace silanol groups with hydrophobic groups: a hydrophobic silica is
then obtained .
The hydrophobic groups can be:
- trimethylsiloxyl groups, which are obtained in particular by treating fumed silica
in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane. Silicas thus treated are known as "Silica
silylate" according to the CTFA (6th edition , 1995). They are sold for example under the
references Aerosil R8 12® by Degussa and Cab-O-Sil TS-530® by Cabot.
- dimethylsilyloxyl or polydimethylsiloxane groups, which are obtained in
particular by treating fumed silica in the presence of polydimethylsiloxane or
dimethyldichlorosilane. Silicas thus treated are known as "Silica dimethyl silylate"
according to the CTFA (6th edition , 1995). They are sold for example under the
references Aerosil R972® and Aerosil R974® by Degussa, and Cab-O-Sil TS-61 0®
and Cab-O-Sil TS-720® by Cabot.
The fumed silica preferably has a particle size that may be nanometric to
micrometric, for example ranging from about 5 to 200 nm.
Clays are well known products which are described , for example, in the
publication "Mineralogie des argiles" [Mineralogy of Clays], S. Caillere, S. Henin and
M. Rautureau, 2nd Edition, 1982, Masson.
Clays are silicates containing a cation which can be chosen from calcium ,
magnesium, aluminium , sodium, potassium or lithium cations, and mixtures thereof.
Mention may be made, as examples of such products, of clays of the family of
the smectites, such as montmorillonites, hectorites, bentonites, beidellites or
saponites, and also of the family of the vermiculites, stevensite or chlorites.
These clays can be of natural or synthetic origin. Use is preferably made of clays
which are cosmetically compatible and acceptable with keratin substances.
Mention may be made, as clay which can be used according to the invention , of
synthetic hectorites (also known as laponites), such as the products sold by Laporte
under the name Laponite XLG, Laponite RD and Laponite RDS (these products are
sodium magnesium silicates and in particular lithium magnesium sodium silicates);
bentonites, such as the product sold under the name Bentone HC by Rheox;
magnesium aluminium silicates, in particular hydrated, such as the product sold by
R.T. Vanderbilt Company under the name Veegum Ultra, or calcium silicates and in
particular that in synthetic form sold by the company CELITE ET WALSH ASS under the
name Micro-Cel C.
The organophilic clay can be chosen from montmorillonite, bentonite, hectorite,
attapulgite or sepiolite, and mixtures thereof. The clay is preferably a bentonite or a
hectorite.
These clays can be modified with a chemical compound chosen from quaternary
amines, tertiary amines, amine acetates, imidazolines, amine soaps, fatty sulfates,
alkylarylsulfonates, amine oxides and mixtures thereof.
Mention may be made, as organophilic clays, of quaternium-18 bentonites, such
as those sold under the names Bentone 3, Bentone 38 and Bentone 38V by Rheox,
Tixogel VP by United Catalyst and Claytone 34, Claytone 40 and Claytone XL by
Southern Clay; stearalkonium bentonites, such as those sold under the names
Bentone 27 by Rheox, Tixogel LG by United Catalyst and Claytone AF and Claytone
APA by Southern Clay; and quaternium-18/benzalkonium bentonites, such as those
sold under the names Claytone HT and Claytone PS by Southern Clay.
The thickener can also be chosen from organic compounds.
Mention may be made, for example, of the following polymeric or non-polymeric
products:
- C10-C30 fatty amides, such as lauric acid diethanolamide,
- the polyglyceryl (meth)acrylate polymers sold under the names Hispagel or
Lubragel by the companies Hispano Qimica or Guardian,
- polyvinylpyrrolidone,
- polyvinyl alcohol,
- crosslinked acrylamide polymers and copolymers, such as those sold under the
names PAS 5161 or Bozepol C by Hoechst or Sepigel 305 by SEPPIC,
the crosslinked methacryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride
homopolymers sold under the name Salcare SC95 by Allied Colloid,
- associative polymers and in particular associative polyurethanes.
Such thickeners are described in particular in Application EP-A-1 400 234.
Preferably, the composition comprises at least one inorganic thickener which is
preferably chosen from clays and more advantageously still from smectites.
The thickener is present in the composition in a total content ranging from 0.1%
to 10% by weight, relative to the weight of the composition.
The composition according to the invention comprises water, which can
preferably be present in a content ranging from 20% to 98% by weight, relative to the
weight of the composition.
The compositions can also comprise at least one agent commonly used in
cosmetics, for example chosen from reducing agents, fatty substances, organic
solvents or oils, softening agents, anti-foaming agents, moisturizing agents, UV
screening agents, peptizing agents, solubilizing agents, fragrances, anionic, cationic,
non-ionic or amphoteric surfactants, proteins, vitamins, propellants, oxyethylenated or
non-oxyethylenated waxes, paraffins or C10-C30 fatty acids, such as stearic acid or
lauric acid.
The above additives are generally present in an amount for each of them of
between 0.01% and 20% by weight, relative to the weight of the composition.
Of course, a person skilled in the art will take care to choose this or these
optional additive(s) so that the advantageous properties intrinsically attached to the
formation of the coating in accordance with the invention are not, or not substantially,
detrimentally affected.
The composition according to the invention can be provided in particular in the
form of a suspension, a dispersion, a gel, an emulsion, in particular an oil-in-water
(O/W), water-in-oil (W/O) or multiple (W/O/W or polyol/O/W or 0/W/O) emulsion, a
cream, a foam, a stick, a dispersion of vesicles, in particular of ionic or non-ionic lipids,
a two-phase or multiphase lotion, a spray or a paste. The composition can also be
provided in the form of a lacquer.
A person skilled in the art can choose the appropriate formulation form, and also
its method of preparation, on the basis of his general knowledge, taking into account
first the nature of the constituents used, in particular their solubility in the support, and
secondly the application envisaged for the composition.
Process
The composition described above can be employed on dry or wet keratin fibres
and also on any type of fibre, light or dark, natural or dyed, or permanent-waved,
bleached or straightened.
According to a specific embodiment of the method of the invention, the fibres are
washed before application of the composition described above.
The application to the fibres can be carried out by any conventional means, in
particular using a comb, a brush, including a fine brush, or the fingers.
After the application of the composition, the fibres can be left to dry or dried, for
example at a temperature of greater than or equal to 30°C. According to a specific
embodiment, this temperature is greater than 40°C. According to a specific
embodiment, this temperature is greater than 45°C and less than 220°C.
The drying, if it is employed, can be carried out immediately after the application
or after a leave-in time which can range from 1 minute to 30 minutes.
Preferably, if the fibres are dried, they are dried with, in addition to a supply of
heat, a stream of air. This stream of air during the drying makes it possible to improve
the individualization of the coating.
During the drying, a mechanical action can be exerted on the locks, such as
combing, brushing or running the fingers through the hair. This operation can likewise
be carried out once the fibres have dried, naturally or otherwise.
The drying stage of the method of the invention can be carried out with a hood
dryer, a hair dryer, hair straighteners, a Climazone, etc.
When the drying stage is carried out with a hood dryer or a hair dryer, the drying
temperature is between 40°C and 110°C and preferably between 50°C and 90°C.
When the drying stage is carried out with hair straighteners, the drying
temperature is between 110°C and 220°C and preferably between 140°C and 200°C.
Once the drying is complete, a final rinsing or shampooing can optionally be
carried out.
The invention will be illustrated more fully with the aid of the non-limiting examples that
follow. Unless otherwise mentioned, the amounts indicated are expressed in grams.

hair drier and a brush , then the hair is combed.
Individualization : after being combed , the hair treated with composition D is perfectly
individualized , while the hair treated with composition E is sticked together and forms
clumps.
Persistence of the coating
An important deposit is observed on the brush which was used for drying the hair lock
treated with composition E. There is no deposit for the hair treated with composition D.
Furthermore, an important deposit is observed on the fingers after running them
through the hair lock treated with composition E, while no deposit was noticed on the
fingers with the hair treated with composition D.
After the above mentioned evaluations, the locks of hair treated with compositions D
and E are washed one time with a standard shampoo.
Colorimetric measurements are made before and after shampoo, using a
spectrocolorimeter Konica Minolta CM 3600d (D65, 10°, specular components
included) in the L*a*b* system ..
According to this system, L* indicates the lightness of the color of the hair. The
chromaticity coordinates are expressed by the parameters a* and b*, a* indicating the
axis of red / green shades and b* the axis of yellow / blue shades.
The persistence of the coating toward shampoo is represented by the difference of
color DE between colored hair before shampoo and colored hair after shampoo. The
lower the DE value, the better the persistence of the coating is.
DE corresponds to [(L*
BP - L*
BN)2 + (a*Bp - a*
BN)2 + (b*
BP - b*
BN)2 ] 2
Composition D presents a lower D E value than composition E : the persistence of the
coloured coating toward shampoo is better with composition D than with comparative
composition E.
