Abstract
A hair treatment composition, particularly a hair colouring and/or bleaching composition, comprising an oxidizing agent, an alkalizing agent selected from the group consisting of ammonia, its salts and mixtures thereof, one or more fatty alcohol(s), one or more non-ionic surfactant(s) and a specific fatty compound. It is also provided a kit, method and use thereof. Superior hair treatment performance, particularly superior colouring and bleaching performance, with a reduced or an eliminated smell of said alkalizing agent upon application, is achieved.
Claims16
A hair colouring and/or bleaching composition comprising a first aqueous component and a second aqueous component, mixed prior to application onto hair, wherein:
- the first aqueous component comprises, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier one or more oxidizing agents;
- and
- the second aqueous component comprises, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier:
- one or more alkalizing agents selected from the group consisting of ammonia, its salts and mixtures thereof;
- and
- one or more fatty alcohols;
- one or more non-ionic surfactants other than fatty alcohols;
- one or more radical scavengers;
- one or more phosphate esters present in a range of from 0% to less than 0.1% by total weight of the composition, and
- one or more chelants in a range of from about 0.1 wt % to about 5 wt % by total weight of the composition, the one or more chelants selected from the group consisting of diethylenetriamine-N,N′,N″-polyacids, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), diethylenetriaminepenta(methylene phosphonic acid) (DTPMP), diamine-N,N′-dipolyacid, monoamine monoamide-N,N′-dipolyacid, ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid (EDDS), their salts thereof, their derivatives thereof, and mixtures thereof,
- wherein the ratio between the total amount of fatty alcohols and the total amount of nonionic surfactants other than fatty alcohols comprised in the second aqueous component ranges from 10:0.1 to 10:3 and the one or more fatty alcohols and one or more nonionic surfactants are at least in part a gel network in the second aqueous component;
- and
- wherein at least one of the components comprises one or more fatty compounds selected from the group consisting of a mineral oil, hydrocarbon oil, and mixtures thereof;
- wherein the one or more fatty compounds are present in a total amount ranging from 0.5% to 20% by total weight of the composition;
- the one or more fatty alcohol(s) are present in a total amount ranging from 0.5% to 20% by total weight of the composition;
- the one or more non-ionic surfactant(s) other than fatty alcohols are present in a total amount ranging from 0.2% to 5% by total weight of the composition;
- and
- wherein the composition is free of a cationic surfactant and an anionic surfactant.
