## Background
This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/294,579, filed Jan. 13, 2010. This application also claims benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to French Patent Application No. 0959434, filed Dec. 22, 2009.


The present disclosure relates to an agent in two parts for coloring and/or bleaching keratin fibers, for example human keratin fibers such as the hair.
The present disclosure thus relates to an agent for coloring and/or bleaching keratin fibers, consisting of a first composition (A) comprising at least one alkalizing agent and optionally at least one oxidation dye and/or at least one direct dye, and a second composition (B) comprising at least one oxidizing agent, wherein at least one of the compositions (A) and (B) comprises at least one fat, and at least one reductone.
The present disclosure also relates to a multi-compartment device, containing the coloring and/or bleaching agent disclosed herein.
The present disclosure similarly relates to a method of coloring and/or bleaching keratin fibers, employing the agent disclosed herein.
For a long time, people have tried to alter the color of their hair, such as by bleaching it, or conversely by coloring it, for example in order to mask white hair.
For coloring human keratin fibers, generally two types of dyeing have been developed.
The first type of dyeing is so-called “permanent” or “oxidation dyeing,” which employs dyeing compositions containing oxidation dye precursors, generally called oxidation bases. These oxidation bases may be colorless or slightly colored compounds which, together with oxidizing products, can give rise to colored compounds by a process of oxidative condensation.
It is also known that the shades obtained with these oxidation bases may be varied by combining them with dyeing couplers or modifiers. The variety of molecules used as oxidation bases and couplers can provide a rich palette of colors.
The second type of dyeing is called “semi-permanent” or “direct dyeing,” which consists of applying, on the keratin fibers, direct dyes which are colored and coloring molecules having an affinity for said fibers, waiting, and then rinsing.
The direct dyes generally used for said dyeing may be selected from benzene, anthraquinone, nitropyridine, azo, xanthene, acridine, azine, and triarylmethane nitro direct dyes.
A method of this type does not require the use of an oxidizing agent for developing the coloration. However, it is possible to use such an agent, in order to obtain an effect of lightening with coloration. This is then called “direct” or “semi-permanent dyeing in lightening conditions.”
The methods of permanent or semi-permanent dyeing in lightening conditions may therefore require using, with the dyeing composition, an aqueous composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent, in many cases at alkaline pH.
The typical methods for bleaching human keratin fibers entail using an aqueous composition comprising at least one oxidizing agent, generally at alkaline pH. The role of this oxidizing agent is to degrade the melanin in the hair, which, depending on the nature of the oxidizing agent present, may lead to a more or less pronounced lightening of the fibers. Thus, for relatively slight lightening, the oxidizing agent is generally hydrogen peroxide. When a greater degree of lightening is required, usually peroxidized salts are employed, for example persulphates, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
One of the difficulties that may be encountered during application of these known methods of coloring and bleaching arise from the fact that they are employed in alkaline conditions.
To improve the performance of the methods for coloring and/or bleaching human keratin fibers, and to limit the disadvantages connected with the use of alkaline agents and oxidizing agents, it has been proposed to use a substantial amount of at least one fat in the dyeing compositions.
However, during preparation of a fat-enriched mixture of a composition comprising an alkaline agent and a composition comprising an oxidizing agent, intense coloration of the mixture may develop, which may be unattractive, and moreover may reflect undesirable degradation of certain compounds.
The applicants have discovered that certain antioxidants in the reductone class, in the presence of at least one fat selected from the liquid hydrocarbons, may reduce the undesirable coloration of the mixture.
The present disclosure therefore relates to an agent for coloring and/or bleaching keratin fibers, consisting of:
a first composition (A) comprising at least one alkalizing agent, and
a second composition (B) comprising at least one oxidizing agent,
wherein at least one of the compositions (A) and (B) comprises at least one fat selected from liquid hydrocarbons, such that the at least one fat is present in a mixture of compositions (A) and (B) in an amount of at least 20 wt. %, relative to the total weight of the mixture, and
further wherein at least one of compositions (A) and (B) comprises at least one reductone optionally in a form chosen from acids, salts, and esters.
When the agent according to the disclosure is used for coloring, optionally with lightening, keratin fibers, composition (A) may further comprise at least one oxidation dye and/or at least one direct dye.
Conversely, when the agent according to the disclosure is used only for bleaching keratin fibers, neither composition (A) nor composition (B) comprise at least one direct dye and/or at least one oxidation dye (bases and couplers). or, if at least one direct dye and/or at least one oxidation dye happen to be present, the at least one direct dye and/or at least one oxidation dye may be present in a total amount of less than 0.005 wt. % relative to the total weight of the respective composition. At such an amount, only the composition would be colored, i.e. no effect of coloring of the keratin fibers would be observed.
The coloring and/or bleaching agent according to the present disclosure does not become colored during mixing of the two compositions (A) and (B) or during subsequent application of the compositions on keratin fibers, or if a coloring effect does occur, it remains very moderate.
Moreover, when it is intended for coloring keratin fibers, the agent disclosed herein may be effective with respect to the strength of coloration obtained, as well as with respect to chromaticity, and the selectivity of coloration of one and the same fiber or the selectivity of coloration between fibers that are differently sensitized.
When it is intended for bleaching keratin fibers, the agent disclosed herein can offer performance in lightening that is equivalent or even greater than that obtained with existing compositions, for example with those based on ammonium hydroxide.
The agent disclosed herein may also have the feature that it limits pungent odors during its preparation, or its application on the fibers.
Other characteristics and features of the present disclosure herein will become clearer on reading the description and examples given below.
In what follows, and unless stated otherwise, the limits of a range of values are included in this range.
The human keratin fibers treated by the method disclosed herein are for example hair.
According to the present disclosure, composition (A) comprises at least one alkalizing agent.
The alkalizing agent can for example be a mineral or organic base.
For instance, the alkalizing agent may be selected from ammonia, alkaline carbonates, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, organic amines such as for example alkanolamines and the derivatives thereof, and compounds of formula (I):

In at least one embodiment, composition (A) has a pH greater than or equal to 8, such as a pH ranging from 8.5 to 11.5.
This pH can also be adjusted to the desired value by using, for example, as well as the alkalizing agent, at least one acidifying agent.

The compositions described above were mixed at the moment of use, as follows:
10 g of dyeing composition A1 was mixed with 10 g of oxidizing composition B;
10 g of dyeing composition A2 was mixed with 10 g of oxidizing composition B.
The agent “C2,” the resulting mixture of compositions A2 and B, was less colored than the agent “C1,” the resulting mixture of compositions A1 and B.
The agents were each separately applied to hair. Agent C2 led to more homogeneous and intense hair color, relative to hair treated with agent C1.
