Abstract
The present disclosure relates to transparent ready-to-use hair bleaching compositions and compositions useful for preparing the transparent ready-to-use hair bleaching compositions. The transparent ready-to-use bleaching compositions typically include: (i) one or more oxidizing agents selected from the group consisting of persulfates, perborates, percarbonates, a salt thereof, and a mixture thereof; (ii) one or more non-acrylic thickening polymers; (iii) one or more acrylic polymers; (iv) hydrogen peroxide; (v) one or more polyurethane polyethers; and (vi) water. Kits and methods for bleaching hair also disclosed.
Claims11
A transparent ready-to-use hair bleaching composition formed by combining:
- (a) a bleach composition comprising:
- i. about 15 to about 45 wt. %, based on the total weight of the bleach composition, of one or more oxidizing agents chosen from persulfates, perborates, percarbonates, and a mixture thereof;
- ii. about 0.1 to about 5 wt. %, based on the total weight of the bleach composition, of xanthan gum;
- iii. about 0.1 to about 10 wt. %, based on the total weight of the bleach composition, of one or more acrylic polymers;
- and
- iv. one or more alkaline agents;
- and
- (b) a developer composition comprising:
- i. about 2 to about 20 wt. %, based on the total weight of the developer composition, of hydrogen peroxide;
- ii. about 0.1 to about 20 wt. %, based on the total weight of the developer composition, of disteareth-100 IPDI;
- and
- iii. water;
- wherein the composition has a pH above 7 and a refractory index of about 1.3 to about 1.4 at 25° C.
A kit comprising:
- (a) a bleach composition comprising:
- i. one or more oxidizing agents chosen from persulfates, perborates, percarbonates, and a mixture thereof;
- ii. xanthan gum;
- and
- iii. one or more acrylic polymers;
- and
- (b) a developer composition comprising:
- i. hydrogen peroxide;
- ii. disteareth-100 IPDI;
- and
- iii. water;
- wherein the bleach composition of (a) and the developer composition of (b) are separately contained, and
- the bleach composition of (a) and the developer composition of (b) form a transparent ready-to-use hair bleaching composition having a refractory index of about 1.3 to about 1.4 at 25° C. and a pH above 7 when combined in a weight ratio of about 1:5 to about 5:1.
A bleach composition comprising:
- i. one or more oxidizing agents chosen from persulfates, perborates, percarbonates, and a mixture thereof;
- ii. xanthan gum;
- iii. one or more acrylic polymers;
- iv. one or more oils selected from the group consisting of polybutene, hydrogenated polyisobutene, polyisoprene, polydecenes, and a mixture thereof;
- and
- v. one or more silicates;
- wherein the bleach composition is essentially anhydrous comprising less than 3 wt. % of water, based on the total weight of the bleach composition, and
- wherein the bleach composition forms a transparent ready-to-use hair bleaching composition having a pH above 7 and a refractory index of about 1.3 to about 1.4 at 25° C. when combined with a developer composition in a weight ratio of about 1:5 to about 5:1,
- wherein the developer composition comprises:
- i. about 2 to about 20 wt. %, based on the total weight of the developer composition, of hydrogen peroxide;
- ii. about 0.1 to about 20 wt. %, based on the total weight of the developer composition, of disteareth-100 IPDI;
- and
- iii. about 60 to about 96 wt. %, based on the total weight of the developer composition, of water.
