Abstract
Disclosed are compositions and methods for controlling or slowing down the coloration of keratin fibers such as hair involving providing compositions comprising coconut water which contains catalase-peroxidase and at least one antioxidant, wherein the pH of the composition is from about 2 to about 6.
Claims21
An acidic hair pretreatment composition, comprising:
- a) from about 10% to about 80% by weight of active material, of coconut water;
- b) from about 0.5% to about 20% by weight of at least one antioxidant;
- c) optionally, at least one cosmetically acceptable carrier;
- and
- wherein the pH of the composition is from about 2 to about 6;
- all weights being relative to the total weight of the composition.
3 more elements
A method of coloring hair, said method comprising
- (1) applying onto hair, an acidic hair pretreatment composition comprising:
- a) from about 10% to about 80% by weight of active material, of coconut water;
- b) from about 0.5% to about 20% by weight of at least one antioxidant;
- c) optionally, at least one cosmetically acceptable carrier;
- and
- wherein the pH of the composition is from about 2 to about 6;
- all weights being relative to the total weight of the composition;
- and
- (2) applying onto the hair, a hair color altering composition.
6 more elements
An acidic hair pretreatment composition for controlling or slowing down the coloration of hair, the composition comprising:

- c) optionally, at least one cosmetically acceptable carrier;
- and
- wherein the pH of the composition is from about 2 to about 6;
- all weights being relative to the total weight of the composition.
