## Background
This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/294,929, filed Jan. 14, 2010. This application also claims benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to French Patent Application No. 0959388, filed Dec. 22, 2009.


The present disclosure relates to an agent composed of two or more parts for dyeing and/or bleaching keratin fibers, for example, human keratin fibers such as the hair.
Among the methods for dyeing human keratin fibers, such as the hair, mention may be made of oxidation dyeing or permanent dyeing. For example, this dyeing method uses at least one oxidation dye precursor, usually at least one oxidation base optionally combined with at least one coupler.
In general, oxidation bases are chosen from ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols and heterocyclic compounds. These oxidation bases are colorless or weakly colored compounds, which, when combined with oxidizing products, can give access to colored species via a process of oxidative condensation.
The shades obtained with these oxidation bases are often varied by combining them with at least one coupler. The coupler can be chosen from aromatic meta-diamines, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds, such as indole compounds.
The variety of molecules used as oxidation bases and couplers allows a wide range of colours to be obtained.
Direct dyeing or semi-permanent dyeing is also known. The process conventionally used in direct dyeing consists of applying to the keratin fibers direct dyes, which are colored and coloring molecules that have affinity for the fibers, leaving them on for a time to allow the molecules to penetrate, by diffusion, into the fiber, and then rinsing them off.
The direct dyes generally used can be chosen from nitrobenzene, anthraquinone, nitropyridine, azo, methine, azomethine, xanthene, acridine, azine and triarylmethane direct dyes.
This type of process does not require the use of an oxidizing agent to develop the coloration. However, it is not excluded to use one in order to obtain, along with the coloration, a lightening effect. Such a process is referred to as direct dyeing or semi-permanent dyeing under lightening conditions.
Processes of permanent or semi-permanent dyeing under lightening conditions thus usually consist of using, along with the dye composition, an aqueous composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent, under alkaline pH conditions. The role of this oxidizing agent is to degrade the melanin of the hair, and, depending on the nature of the oxidizing agent, it can lead to more or less pronounced lightening of the fibers. Thus, for relatively weak lightening, the oxidizing agent is generally hydrogen peroxide. When more substantial lightening is desired, peroxygenated salts, for instance persulfates, are usually used in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
In order to improve the performance of processes for dyeing and/or bleaching human keratin fibers, and to limit the inconveniences associated with the use of alkaline agents and oxidizing agents, it has been proposed to use in dye compositions a substantial amount of at least one fatty substance such as oils.
However, the incorporation into these compositions of a sufficient amount of oil can be problematic in terms of stability. Specifically, these compositions may be thermodynamically unstable, heat-sensitive and their viscosity changes over time. The problem can be more prominent when the oil content is increased.
There is a need to have satisfactory efficacy for lightening and dyeing products, for instance, in terms of lightening capacity or dyeing strength and/or selectivity, while at the same time reducing the harmful effects associated with the simultaneous presence of alkaline agents and oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide, while reducing the degradation of the keratin fibers and reducing the inconveniences associated with the odor of the alkaline agents used, such as ammonia and amines.
It is thus sought to improve the effects of the alkaline agents and/or oxidizing agents while at the same time having maximum dyeing or lightening efficacy on keratin fibers.
This aim and others can be achieved by the present disclosure, one aspect of which is thus an agent for bleaching/dyeing the hair, comprising:
composition (A) comprising at least one basifying agent, and
anhydrous composition (B) comprising hydrogen peroxide and/or at least one hydrogen peroxide precursor;
wherein composition (A) and/or composition (B) comprise at least one fatty substance not containing any carboxylic acid functional groups, such that the total amount of at least one fatty substance not containing any carboxylic acid functional groups in the agent after mixing the direct emulsion (A) and the inverse emulsion (B) being greater than 20% by weight.
The disclosure also relates to a process for treating human keratin fibers using this dyeing/bleaching agent.
Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a multi-compartment device comprising, in at least one of the compartments, an composition (A) comprising at least one basifying agent, and, in the other, an anhydrous composition (B) comprising hydrogen peroxide or a hydrogen peroxide precursor, wherein composition (A) and/or composition (B) comprise at least one fatty substance not containing any carboxylic acid functional groups, and the total amount of fatty substances not containing any carboxylic acid functional groups is present in the mixture of composition (A) and composition (B) in an amount greater than 20% by weight.
When the agent according to the disclosure is intended for dyeing keratin fibers, composition (A) also comprises at least one oxidation dye and/or at least one direct dye.
Conversely, when the agent according to the disclosure is intended solely for bleaching keratin fibers, compositions (A) and (B) do not comprise any direct dyes or any oxidation dyes (bases and couplers) or, if they are present, their total content does not exceed 0.005% by weight relative to the weight of each composition. Accordingly, at such a content, only the composition would be dyed, i.e. no dyeing effect would be observed on the keratin fibers.
Compositions (A) and (B) of the dyeing and/or bleaching composition according to the disclosure are stable, and their viscosity changes little or not at all over time. It is thus easy to apply and shows very good efficacy, for instance in terms of quality and uniformity of dyeing and/or bleaching.
In addition, when it is intended for dyeing keratin fibers, the agent according to the disclosure can result in at least one of the benefits chosen from efficient uptake of the dyes onto the fibers, good power and chromaticity of the dyeing obtained, and also reduced dyeing selectivity along the same fiber or between fibers that are differently sensitized.
When it is intended for bleaching keratin fibers, the agent according to the disclosure can have lightening performance equivalent to or even greater than that obtained with the existing compositions, such as those based on ammonium hydroxide.
The agent according to the disclosure can also have the benefit of limiting the aggressive odours during its preparation or its application to the fibers.

It is also possible to use extracts or decoctions containing these natural dyes and for example henna-based poultices or extracts.
The direct dyes may be monochromophoric dyes (i.e. comprising only one dye) or polychromophoric, for example di- or trichromophoric; the chromophores possibly being identical or different, and from the same or different chemical families. It should be noted that a polychromophoric dye comprises several radicals each derived from a molecule that absorbs in the visible region ranging from 400 to 800 nm. Furthermore, this absorbance of the dye does not require any prior oxidation thereof, or combination with any other chemical species.
In the case of polychromophoric dyes, the chromophores are connected together via at least one linker, which may be cationic or non-cationic.
The linker can be a linear, branched or cyclic C1-C20 alkyl chain, optionally interrupted with at least one heteroatom (such as nitrogen or oxygen) and/or with at least one group comprising such an atom (CO, SO2), optionally interrupted with at least one heterocycle that may or may not be fused to a phenyl nucleus and comprising at least one quaternized nitrogen atom engaged in the ring and optionally at least one other heteroatom (such as oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur), optionally interrupted with at least one substituted or unsubstituted phenyl or naphthyl group, optionally at least one quaternary ammonium group substituted with two optionally substituted C1-C15 alkyl groups; the linker not comprising any nitro, nitroso or peroxy groups.
If the heterocycles or aromatic nuclei (phenyl or naphthyl) are substituted, they are substituted, for example, with at least one C1-C8 alkyl radical optionally substituted with a hydroxyl, C1-C2 alkoxy, C2-C4 hydroxyalkoxy, acetylamino, or amino group substituted with one or two C1-C4 alkyl radicals, optionally bearing at least one hydroxyl group, or the two radicals possibly forming, with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, a 5- or 6-membered heterocycle optionally comprising another heteroatom identical to or different than nitrogen; a halogen atom; a hydroxyl group; a C1-C2 alkoxy radical; a C2-C4 hydroxyalkoxy radical; an amino radical; or an amino radical substituted with one or two identical or different C1-C4 alkyl radicals optionally bearing at least one hydroxyl group.
Among the polychromophoric dyes, mention may be made for example of symmetrical or non-symmetrical azo and/or azomethine (hydrazone) di- or trichromophoric dyes comprising, on the one hand, at least one optionally fused 5- or 6-membered aromatic heterocycle, comprising at least one quaternized nitrogen atom engaged in the said heterocycle and optionally at least one other heteroatom (such as nitrogen, sulfur or oxygen), and, on the other hand, at least one optionally substituted phenyl or naphthyl group, optionally bearing at least one group OR with R representing a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted C1-C6 alkyl radical, an optionally substituted phenyl nucleus, or at least one group N(R′)2 with R′, which may be identical or different, representing a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted C1-C6 alkyl radical or an optionally substituted phenyl nucleus; the radicals R′ possibly forming, with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, a saturated 5- or 6-membered heterocycle, or alternatively one and/or both the radicals R′ may each form, with the carbon atom of the aromatic ring located ortho to the nitrogen atom, or a saturated 5- or 6-membered heterocycle.
Aromatic cationic heterocycles that may be mentioned include 5- or 6-membered rings containing 1 to 3 nitrogen atoms for example, 1 or 2 nitrogen atoms, one being quaternized; the heterocycle can be optionally fused to a benzene nucleus. It should similarly be noted that the heterocycle may optionally comprise another heteroatom other than nitrogen, for instance sulfur or oxygen.
The bonding between the linker, as defined previously, and each chromophore generally takes place via a heteroatom substituent on the phenyl or naphthyl nucleus or via the quaternized nitrogen atom of the cationic heterocycle.
The dye may comprise identical or different chromophores.

The alkyl or acyl radical of these various compounds can contain from 6 to 24 carbon atoms, for example, from 8 to 24 carbon atoms, and the aryl radical can denote a phenyl or benzyl group.
The nonionic surfactants can be chosen from monooxyalkylenated or polyoxyalkylenated, monoglycerolated or polyglycerolated nonionic surfactants. The oxyalkylene units can be oxyethylene or oxypropylene units, or a combination thereof, for example, oxyethylene units.
Non-limiting examples of oxyalkylenated nonionic surfactants that may be mentioned include:

    
    
        oxyalkylenated (C8-C24)alkylphenols,
        saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, oxyalkylenated C8-C30 alcohols,

        and mixtures thereof.
    
    


These surfactants contain a number of moles of ethylene oxide and/or of propylene oxide ranging from 1 to 100, for example, from 2 to 50. For example, the nonionic surfactants do not comprise any oxypropylene units.
In accordance with at least one embodiment of the disclosure, the oxyalkylenated nonionic surfactants are chosen from oxyethylenated C8-C30 alcohols, and esters of C8-C30 acids and of polyethylene glycols.
As examples of monoglycerolated or polyglycerolated nonionic surfactants, monoglycerolated or polyglycerolated C8-C40 alcohols can be used.
For example, the monoglycerolated or polyglycerolated C8-C40 alcohols correspond to the following formula:

RO—[CH2—CH(CH2OH)—O]m—H

    
    
        wherein R represents a linear or branched C8-C40 and for example C8-C30 alkyl or alkenyl radical, and m represents a number ranging from 1 to 30 and for example from 1 to 10.

Composition (A) that is useful in the disclosure may comprise at least one fumed silica.
Fumed silicas may be obtained by high-temperature hydrolysis of a volatile silicon compound in an oxhydric flame, producing a finely divided silica. This process makes it possible to obtain, for example, hydrophilic silicas having a large number of silanol groups at their surface. Such hydrophilic silicas are sold, for example, under the names AEROSIL 130®, AEROSIL 200®, AEROSIL 255®, AEROSIL 300® and AEROSIL 380® by the company Degussa, and CAB-O-SIL HS-5®, CAB-O-SIL EH-5®, CAB-O-SIL LM-130®, CAB-O-SIL MS-55® and CAB-O-SIL M-5® by the company Cabot.
It is possible to chemically modify the surface of the silica by chemical reaction in order to reduce the number of silanol groups. Silanol groups may be substituted with hydrophobic groups to obtain a hydrophobic silica.
The hydrophobic groups may be:

    
    
        trimethylsiloxyl groups, which are obtained for example by treating fumed silica in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane. Silicas thus treated are known as “Silica silylate” according to the CTFA (6th edition, 1995). They are sold, for example, under the references AEROSIL R812® by the company Degussa and CAB-O-SIL TS-530® by the company Cabot.
        dimethylsilyloxyl or polydimethylsiloxane groups, which are obtained, for example by treating fumed silica in the presence of polydimethylsiloxane or dimethyldichlorosilane. Silicas thus treated are known as “Silica dimethyl silylate” according to the CTFA (6th edition, 1995). They are sold, for example, under the references AEROSIL R972® and AEROSIL R974® by the company Degussa, and CAB-O-SIL TS-610® and CAB-O-SIL TS-720® by the company Cabot.

Nos. 5,008,093, 3,376,110 and 5,183,901. Non-limiting mention may also be made of urea peroxide and alkali metal, alkaline-earth metal or ammonium perborates and percarbonates.
It may be noted that alkali metal, alkaline-earth metal or ammonium persulfates are not included in these precursors since, in the redox mechanisms using these persulfates, there is no release of hydrogen peroxide.
The anhydrous hydrogen peroxide compositions that may be used in the present disclosure are known in the art. For example, document GB-A-632 084 describes antiseptic urea peroxide liquid solutions resulting from the combination of hydrogen peroxide and urea in a polyhydric alcohol; document DE-A-1 262 982 describes solutions of hydrogen peroxide in unsaturated dicarboxylic acid diesters or polyesters; document FR-A-2 145 400 describes solutions of a peroxide compound such as hydrogen peroxide in alkyl esters or in organic acids; document EP-121 660 describes a process for preparing solutions of hydrogen peroxide in various organic solvents that may be used for oxidation or epoxidation reactions. Document EP 193 471 describes an anhydrous hydrogen peroxide composition in an organic solvent that may be used for a cosmetic application. For example, the compositions described in that document, which contain hydrogen peroxide and at least one organic solvent.
The anhydrous hydrogen peroxide and/or hydrogen peroxide precursor compositions can contain less than 5% by weight of water, for example, less than 1% by weight of water.

Among the water-insoluble pulverulent adjuvants that may be mentioned are the silicas mentioned above, clays, polymers such as polyamides, TEFLON, polyalkyl methacrylates and glass beads.
In at least one embodiment of the disclosure, composition (B) consists of a dispersion or solution of hydrogen peroxide and/or of hydrogen peroxide precursors in a solvent or a mixture of solvents.
This or these organic solvents may be of very varied nature, for example:

    
    
        1) fatty substances not containing any carboxylic acid functional groups, such as those mentioned previously,
        2) alcohols that are at least partially water-soluble (for example with a solubility of greater than or equal to 4% in water at room temperature (25° C.) and atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg) such as ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol or benzyl alcohol,
        3) acyclic polyols such as glycols and for example propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol or glycerol, and ethers thereof, such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether or propylene glycol monoethyl ether, and
        4) oligomeric polyethers such as those of ethylene oxide, of propylene oxide and ethers thereof, and also oligomeric polyethers corresponding to formula (VII) below:
    
    






    
    
        wherein,
        R represents a linear or branched alkyl radical containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R1, R2, R3 and R4, which may be identical or different, are chosen from a hydrogen atom and an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, wherein at least two of the radicals R1, R2, R3 or R4 represent a hydrogen atom, m is 1 to 4, and n is a mean value greater than or equal to 2, for example, ranging from 4 to 50, the number of carbon atoms in each repeating unit, which may be identical or different, being at least equal to 4.
    
    


The number-average molecular mass of these oligomeric polyethers can range from 200 to 5000 and their viscosity can range from 0.002 to 1 Pa·s, for example, from 0.01 to 0.1 Pa·s measured at 25° C.
Some of these oligomers are water-soluble, while others are not.
Among the oligomeric polyethers represented by the above formula, for example, polytetrahydrofuran dimethyl ether corresponding to formula (VIII):




    
    
        wherein n is a mean value ranging from 4 to 10.
    
    


The organic solvent must be stable in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and/or of the hydrogen peroxide precursor(s) under the conditions of use of anhydrous composition (B).
The processes for preparing the anhydrous hydrogen peroxide compositions are known and described in the literature. For this preparation, two different processes may be envisaged according to the nature of the organic solvent. When the organic solvent is water-immiscible, the hydrogen peroxide is extracted, with vigorous stirring, using an aqueous 60% hydrogen peroxide solution (200 volumes). After stirring from 3 to 8 hours, the aqueous phase is saturated with sodium chloride and the organic phase is separated out by settling and then dried over sodium sulfate. When the organic solvent is water-miscible, the water is removed by azeotropic distillation.
For example, acetonitrile, tert-butanol, cyclohexane, heptane, pentane, 1,2-dichloroethane or ethyl acetate can be used as co-solvent capable of forming an azeotropic mixture with water.
The azeotropic entrainment of the water can take place at the boiling point of the mixture. After cooling, drying is performed over anhydrous sodium sulfate.
The titre of the hydrogen peroxide in the organic solvent can be determined by polarography.
Depending on the nature of the solvent, the hydrogen peroxide content of the compositions may vary within a wide range.
As azeotropic distillation process, reference may be made for example to document EP 121 660.
When composition (B) contains hydrogen peroxide, its concentration may range from 1% to 50%, for example, from 4% to 30%, such as from 4% to 20%, for instance, from 5% to 15% by weight relative to the weight of composition (B).
The anhydrous hydrogen peroxide composition may also contain other ingredients, for example products for increasing the viscosity, in order to, for example, avoid any flow of the composition during application.
It may also contain various adjuvants usually used in cosmetics, for instance surfactants, for example nonionic or anionic surfactants and thickeners.
For example, it may contain at least one fatty substances not containing any carboxylic acid functional groups, as defined previously, either as solvent(s) for the hydrogen peroxide and/or the hydrogen peroxide precursors, or as additional compounds.
As indicated previously, the dyeing/bleaching agent obtained from composition (A) and anhydrous composition (B) is such that the at least one fatty substance is present in the mixture of the two compositions in an amount greater than or equal to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the mixture of these two compositions.
Thus, the at least one fatty substance not containing any carboxylic acid functional groups may be present in composition (A) or composition (B), or simultaneously in both compositions, provided that the total amount of the at least one fatty substance in the mixture of compositions (A) and (B) is at least equal to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the mixture of the two compositions (A) and (B).
For example, the total amount of the at least one fatty substance not containing any carboxylic acid functional groups in the mixture of compositions (A) and (B) represents at least 25% by weight, such as at least 30% by weight relative to the total weight of the said mixture.
The total amount of the at least one fatty substance not containing any carboxylic acid functional groups in the mixture of compositions (A) and (B) is for example, less than or equal to 90% by weight, such as less than or equal to 70% by weight relative to the total weight of the said mixture.
In at least one embodiment of the disclosure, the agent of the disclosure is formed only from the two compositions (A) and (B).
Another aspect of the present disclosure is a process for dyeing and/or bleaching keratin fibers, comprising the application to the said keratin fibers of the agent as described above.
According to the disclosure, the agent applied to keratin fibers results from the mixing of composition (A) and anhydrous composition (B), this mixing being performed either before application to keratin fibers (extemporaneous preparation) or directly on the keratin fibers (successive application to the fibers of composition (A) and of anhydrous composition (B) without intermediate rinsing).
Thus, according to at least one embodiment of the process according to the disclosure, composition (A) and anhydrous composition (B) are applied to the wet or dry keratin fibers, successively and without intermediate rinsing.
According to at least one embodiment of the process according to the disclosure, a composition obtained by extemporaneously mixing, before application, composition (A) and anhydrous composition (B) is applied to the wet or dry keratin fibers.
In this case, the interval between the mixing of composition (A) and of anhydrous composition (B) and the application of the mixture to the hair does not exceed, for example 30 minutes, for example, 10 minutes such as five minutes.
The weight ratio of the amount of composition (A) used to the amount of anhydrous composition (B) used may range from 0.2 to 50, for example, from 0.3 to 10, such as from 0.3 to 1.
In addition, the mixture present on the fibers (resulting either from the extemporaneous mixing of composition (A) and of anhydrous composition (B) or from the successive application thereof) is left on for a time generally from one minute to one hour, for example, from five minutes to 30 minutes.
The temperature during the process ranges, for example, from room temperature (e.g. from 15 to 25° C.) to 80° C., such as from room temperature to 60° C.
After the treatment, the keratin fibers can optionally be rinsed with water, optionally undergo washing with a shampoo followed by rinsing with water, and are then dried or left to dry.
Still another aspect of the disclosure is a multi-compartment dyeing and/or bleaching “kit”, comprising a first compartment comprising a composition (A), and also a second compartment comprising an anhydrous composition (B), compositions (A) and (B) being as described above.
This kit may also comprise at least one composition for washing and/or conditioning keratin fibers, which can be intended to be applied before and/or after the dyeing and/or bleaching treatment according to the disclosure.
The examples that follow serve to illustrate the disclosure without, however, being limiting in nature.


EXAMPLES
Example 1
The following compositions were prepared:
The direct emulsion A1 below was prepared according to a phase inversion temperature (PIT) process:
Manufacturing Process


    
    
        1—Phase A was heated on a water bath with stirring using a Rayneri blender (400 rpm). A white emulsion, which became translucent at about 68° C. (through a microemulsion phase) and which thickened beyond that temperature, was obtained.
        2—Once the emulsion thickened, the water bath was removed and the emulsion was allowed to cool with continued stirring.
        3—The gelling agent (carbopol) was introduced at about 50° C.
        4—The ethanol, the monoethanolamine, the dyes, the ascorbic acid and the chelating agent, were introduced to the emulsion at room temperature, and the water lost on evaporation (<5%) was readjusted.
    
    


A translucent gelled emulsion with a droplet size <1 μm was then obtained.

At the time of the use, composition A1 was mixed with an anhydrous composition (B1) or (B2) in the following proportions:

    
    
        1 part of composition A1 with 0.1 part of oxidizing composition B1
        1 part of composition A1 with 0.25 part of oxidizing composition B2
    
    


The mixtures were then applied to locks of grey hair containing 90% white hairs. After a leave-on time of 30 minutes at room temperature (25° C.), the hairs were rinsed, washed with a standard shampoo and then dried. A mahogany-blonde coloration was obtained.
