Abstract

Abstract A composition for dyeing human hair, in which a dispersion dye, preferably of the azo or anthraquinone type, is dispersed in an emulsified aqueous mixture comprising a paraffin component and a thickening agent component and adjusted to a pH not higher than 8 by addition of acid. The thickening agent component comprises fatty alcohols such as lauryl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, cetyl-stearyl alcohol or mixtures thereof, fatty acid esters such as isopropyl alcohol and a mixture of fatty acid mono- and diglycerides. The desired viscosity is imparted to the composition by adjusting the proportion of the paraffin component relative to the thickening agent component. An emulsifying agent, such as high-ethoxylated polyglycol ethers and diethanolamine phosphates may be added to create an emulsion of desired viscosity and permanence.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 88 words
A composition for dyeing human hair, comprising a disperse dye dispersed in an aqueous mixture of an emulsifying agent, a paraffin component and a thickening agent selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohols having 10-30 carbon atoms and fatty acid esters of isopropyl alcohol and glycerol, the amount of the paraffin component relative to the thickening agent component being proportioned so as to impart to the composition a viscosity range between 100 cP and 35,000 cP, said composition being adjusted to a pH not higher than 8.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 88 words
A composition for dyeing human hair, comprising a disperse dye dispersed in an aqueous mixture of an emulsifying agent, a paraffin component and a thickening agent selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohols having 10-30 carbon atoms and fatty acid esters of isopropyl alcohol and glycerol, the amount of the paraffin component relative to the thickening agent component being proportioned so as to impart to the composition a viscosity range between 100 cP and 35,000 cP, said composition being adjusted to a pH not higher than 8.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
A composition according to claim 1, in which the disperse dye is selected from the group consisting of azo and anthraquinone dyes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 15 words
A composition according to claim 1, in which the pH is from 5 to 3.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
A composition according to claim 1, in which the fatty alcohols are selected from the group consisting of lauryl alcohol, cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 26 words
