## Abstract

The present application provides preparations for changing the color of keratinic fibers, containing in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, at least one color-changing agent, at least one soap, and at leaset one non-ionic surfactant of formula (I), in which R1 denotes an alkyl or alkenyl residue having 5 to 21 carbon atoms, R2 denotes a C2-C4 monohydroxyalkyl residue, and R3 denotes hydrogen, a C1-C4 alkyl residue or a C2-C4 monohydroxyalkyl residue.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A preparation for changing the color of keratinic fibers, containing, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier:
at least one color-changing agent;
at least one soap; and
at least one non-ionic surfactant of formula (I),
in which:
R1 denotes an alkyl or alkenyl residue having 5 to 21 carbon atoms;
R2 denotes a C2-C4 monohydroxyalkyl residue; and
R3 denotes hydrogen, a C1-C4 alkyl residue or a C2-C4 monohydroxyalkyl residue.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The preparation of claim 1, in which the at least one soap is an alkali metal salt of oleic acid.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The preparation of claim 1, in which the at least one soap is included in a proportion from 0.1 to 6 wt. % of the total weight of the preparation.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The preparation of claim 1, in which the compound of formula (I) in which:
R2 denotes 2-hydroxyethyl (CH2CH2OH); and
R3 denotes hydrogen.

The preparation of claim 1, further comprising at least one propellant.

### Claim 13

A method for changing the color of keratinic fibers, the method comprising:
applying to the fibers at the same time a preparation and an oxidizing agent preparation, in which:
the preparation comprises:
