Patent ID: 8802070

Claim:
A ready-to-use aqueous composition for lifting color of and/or imparting shine onto keratinous substrates, the composition consisting essentially of, in a cosmetically acceptable medium: (a) from about 0.5 to about 10% by weight of at least one phospholipid chosen from lecithin, cocamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate, sodium coco PG-dimonium chloride phosphate, stearamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate, sodium borageamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate and linoleamidopropyl PG-dimonium chloride phosphate; (b) from about 1 to about 20% by weight of at least one nonionic surfactant having an HLB of at least about 8; (c) from about 0.5 to about 40% by weight of at least one anionic silicone chosen from a silicone phosphate, a silicone carboxylate, a silicone sulfate, a silicone sulfosuccinate and a silicone sulfonate; (d) from about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of at least one oxidizing agent; (e) from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight of at least one thickening agent; (f) from about 1 to about 10% by weight of at least one alkaline agent chosen from organic amines, organic amine salts, ammonium salts, alkali metal phosphates, alkali metal carbonates and alkali metal carboxylates; (g) at least one fatty substance other than a fatty acid; and (h) from about 0.5 to about 30% by weight of at least one salt chosen from halides, sulfates, phosphates, lactates, acetates, glycinates, aspartates, nitrates, perchlorates, carbonates, hydrogen carbonates, silicates, borates, and carboxylates; all weights being based on the weight of the composition.
