Abstract
This disclosure relates to a composition for coloring hair containing comprising a multi-lamellar gel emulsion, which includes a haircolor formulation, and a method of making the same. The multi-lamellar gel emulsion includes about 0.5 wt % to about 4.0 wt % of cosmetically acceptable emulsifying fats, a cosmetically acceptable non-ionic surfactant, a water-soluble suspending polymer, and at least 80 wt % of water.
Claims21
A composition for coloring hair, comprising a multi-lamellar gel emulsion, wherein the multi-lamellar gel emulsion comprises:
- (a) a haircolor formulation;
- (b) at least two cosmetically acceptable emulsifying fats;
- (c) a cosmetically acceptable non-ionic surfactant;
- (d) a water-soluble suspending polymer;
- and
- (e) water,
- wherein a cosmetically acceptable emulsifying fat content of the composition is about 0.5 wt % to about 4.0 wt %,
- wherein a cosmetically acceptable non-ionic surfactant content is about 0.1 wt % to about 2 wt %, and
- wherein a water content of the composition is at least about 80 wt %.
A method of making a composition of coloring hair comprising a multi-lamellar gel emulsion, wherein the multi-lamellar gel emulsion comprises:
- a haircolor formulation;
- at least two cosmetically acceptable emulsifying fats;
- a cosmetically acceptable non-ionic surfactant;
- a water-soluble suspending polymer;
- and
- water,
- wherein a cosmetically acceptable emulsifying fat content of the composition is about 0.5 wt % to about 4.0 wt %,
- wherein a cosmetically acceptable non-ionic surfactant content is about 0.1 wt % to about 2 wt %, and
- wherein a water content of the composition is at least 80 wt %
- the method comprising:
- heating a formulation comprising water to obtain heated water;
- mixing the water-soluble suspending polymer and the at least two cosmetically acceptable emulsifying fats in the formulation obtained in the heating;
- simultaneously cooling and homogenizing the mixed and heated formulation to obtain the multi-lamellar gel emulsion.
