Description

Hair coloring composition comprising at least one (poly)carbodiimide compound and at least one protein

The present invention relates to a hair coloring composition comprising at least one (poly)carbodiimide compound, and at least one protein.

A subject of the present invention is also a process for dyeing hair keratin fibers, that is to say the hair, comprising the application of said composition to the hair keratin fibers.

In the field of dyeing hair keratinous fibres, it is already known to dye them by various techniques using direct dyes or pigments for non-permanent dyes or dye precursors for permanent dyes.

There are basically three types of hair coloring process:

a) so-called permanent coloring which has the function of bringing a significant modification of the natural color and which uses oxidation dyes which penetrate the hair fiber and form the dye by a process of oxidative condensation;

b) non-permanent, semi-permanent or direct coloring, which does not involve the process of oxidative condensation and resists 4 or 5 shampoos; consists in dyeing the keratin fibers with dye compositions containing direct dyes;

c) temporary coloring which gives rise to a modification of the natural color of the hair which holds from one shampoo to another and which serves to embellish or correct a shade already obtained. It can also be likened to a “make-up” process.

For this last type of coloring, it is known to use colored polymers formed by grafting one or more dyes of azo, triphenyl-methane, azinic, indoamine or anthraquinone nature onto a polymer chain. These colored polymers are not entirely satisfactory, in particular in terms of the homogeneity of the coloration obtained, of its resistance, not to mention the problems linked to their manufacture and in particular to their reproducibility.

Another coloring method is to use pigments. Indeed, the use of pigment on the surface of keratin fibers generally makes it possible to obtain visible colorings on dark hair since the pigment on the surface masks the natural color of the fiber. However, the colorations obtained by this mode of coloration are not entirely satisfactory, particularly in terms of color intensity and color build-up.

There therefore remains a need for a hair coloring composition which has the advantage of obtaining a homogeneous and smooth colored coating on the hair, better dyeing properties, in particular in terms of color intensity and rise of color.

Thus, the object of the present invention is to develop a hair coloring composition which has the advantage of obtaining improved dyeing properties, in particular in terms of color intensity and color build-up.

The subject of the present invention is therefore a hair coloring composition comprising:
- at least one (poly)carbodiimide compound;

- at least one protein; And

- optionally at least one coloring agent chosen from pigments, direct dyes, and mixtures thereof.

The present invention also relates to a process for dyeing hair keratin fibres, that is to say the hair, comprising the application to the hair of at least one composition according to the invention.

Thanks to the coloring composition according to the invention, colored coatings are obtained on the hair, making it possible to obtain a visible coloring on all types of hair, to obtain a smooth and homogeneous deposit and good dyeing properties, in particular in terms of color intensity and color rise.

The expression " at least one " means one or more.

The pigments which can be used are chosen in particular from the organic and/or inorganic pigments known in the art, in particular those which are described in the encyclopedia of chemical technology by Kirk-Othmer and in the encyclopedia of industrial chemistry by Ullmann.

They can be natural, of natural origin, or not.

These pigments can be in the form of powder or pigment paste. They can be coated or uncoated.

The pigments can for example be chosen from mineral pigments, organic pigments, lakes, special effect pigments such as nacres or glitter, and mixtures thereof.

The pigments in accordance with the invention can also be in the form of composite pigments as described in patent EP 1 184 426. These composite pigments can be composed in particular of particles comprising an inorganic core, at least one binder ensuring the fixing organic pigments on the core, and at least one organic pigment at least partially covering the core.

The organic pigment can also be a lake. By lacquer, we mean the dyes adsorbed on insoluble particles, the assembly thus obtained remaining insoluble during use.

As examples of lacquers, mention may be made of the product known under the following name: D & C Red 7 (CI 15 850:1).

The pigment may also be a special effect pigment. By special effect pigments, we mean pigments that generally create a colored appearance (characterized by a certain shade, a certain liveliness and a certain clarity) which is not uniform and changes according to the conditions of observation (light, temperature , viewing angles, etc.). They are therefore opposed to colored pigments which provide a uniform opaque, semi-transparent or classic transparent shade.

There are several types of special effect pigments, those with a low refractive index such as fluorescent or photochromic pigments, and those with a higher refractive index such as nacres, interference pigments or glitter.

As examples of special effect pigments, mention may be made of pearlescent pigments such as mica covered with titanium, or bismuth oxychloride, colored pearlescent pigments such as mica covered with titanium and iron oxides, mica covered with iron oxide, mica covered with titanium and in particular with ferric blue or chromium oxide, mica covered with titanium and an organic pigment as defined previously as well as pearlescent pigments based on bismuth oxychloride. As pearlescent pigments, mention may be made of the Cellini pearls marketed by BASF (Mica-TiO ₂ -lacquer), Prestige marketed by Eckart (Mica-TiO ₂ ), Prestige Bronze marketed by Eckart (Mica-Fe ₂ O ₃ ) Colorona marketed by Merck (Mica-TiO ₂ -Fe ₂ O ₃ ).

Mention may also be made of the gold-colored nacres marketed by the company BASF under the name of Brillant gold 212G (Timica), Gold 222C (Cloisonne), Sparkle gold (Timica), Gold 4504 (Chromalite) and Monarch gold 233X (Cloisonne) ; the mother-of-pearl bronzes marketed in particular by the company MERCK under the name Bronze fine (17384) (Colorona) and Bronze (17353) (Colorona) and by the company BASF under the name Super bronze (Cloisonne); the orange nacres sold in particular by the company BASF under the name Orange 363C (Cloisonne) and Orange MCR 101 (Cosmica) and by the company MERCK under the name Passion orange (Colorona) and Matte orange (17449) (Microna); the brown nacres in particular marketed by the company BASF under the name Nu-antique copper 340XB (Cloisonne) and Brown CL4509 (Chromalite); mother-of-pearl with a copper sheen in particular marketed by the company BASF under the name Copper 340A (Timica); nacres with a red sheen in particular marketed by the company MERCK under the name Sienna fine (17386) (Colorona); nacres with a yellow sheen in particular marketed by the company BASF under the name Yellow (4502) (Chromalite); nacres of a red tint with a gold sheen in particular marketed by the company BASF under the name Sunstone G012 (Gemtone); the pink nacres in particular marketed by the company BASF under the name Tan opale G005 (Gemtone); black mother-of-pearl with a gold sheen in particular marketed by the company BASF under the name Nu antique bronze 240 AB (Timica), blue mother-of-pearl in particular marketed by the company MERCK under the name Matte blue (17433) (Microna), white mother-of-pearl with sheen silver in particular marketed by the company MERCK under the name Xirona Silver and the orange-pink golden-green nacres in particular marketed by the company MERCK under the name Indian summer (Xirona) and mixtures thereof.

Still by way of example of nacres, mention may also be made of particles comprising a borosilicate substrate coated with titanium oxide.

Particles with a glass substrate coated with titanium oxide are in particular sold under the name METASHINE MC1080RY by the company TOYAL.

Finally, as examples of nacres, mention may also be made of polyethylene terephthalate flakes, in particular those marketed by the company Meadowbrook Inventions under the name Silver 1P 0.004X0.004 (silver flakes). One can also consider multilayer pigments based on synthetic substrates such as alumina, silica, calcium and sodium borosilicate or calcium and aluminum borosilicate, and aluminum.

The special effect pigments can also be chosen from reflective particles, that is to say in particular particles whose size, structure, in particular the thickness of the layer or layers which constitute it and their physical and chemical natures, and the surface finish, allow them to reflect incident light. This reflection may, where appropriate, have sufficient intensity to create on the surface of the composition or mixture, when the latter is applied to the support to be made up, highlights visible to the naked eye, that is i.e. brighter points that contrast with their surroundings by seeming to shine.

The reflective particles can be selected so as not to significantly alter the coloring effect generated by the coloring agents associated with them and more particularly so as to optimize this effect in terms of color rendering. They may more particularly have a yellow, pink, red, bronze, orange, brown, gold and/or copper color or reflection.

These particles can have various shapes, in particular be in the form of platelets or globular, in particular spherical.

The reflective particles, whatever their shape, may or may not have a multilayer structure and, in the case of a multilayer structure, for example at least one layer of uniform thickness, in particular of a reflective material.

When the reflective particles do not have a multilayer structure, they may be composed for example of metal oxides, in particular titanium or iron oxides obtained by synthesis.

When the reflective particles have a multilayer structure, these may for example comprise a natural or synthetic substrate, in particular a synthetic substrate at least partially coated with at least one layer of a reflective material, in particular of at least one metal or metallic material . The substrate can be monomaterial, multimaterial, organic and/or inorganic.

More particularly, it can be chosen from glasses, ceramics, graphite, metal oxides, aluminas, silicas, silicates, in particular aluminosilicates and borosilicates, synthetic mica and mixtures thereof, this list not being limiting.

The reflective material may comprise a layer of metal or of a metallic material.

Reflective particles are described in particular in the documents JP-A-09188830, JP-A-10158450, JP-A-10158541, JP-A-07258460 and JP-A-05017710.

Still as an example of reflective particles comprising a mineral substrate coated with a layer of metal, mention may also be made of particles comprising a borosilicate substrate coated with silver.

Particles with a glass substrate coated with silver, in the form of platelets, are sold under the name MICROGLASS METASHINE REFSX 2025 PS by the company TOYAL. Particles with a glass substrate coated with a nickel/chromium/molybdenum alloy are sold under the name CRYSTAL STAR GF 550, GF 2525 by this same company.

It is also possible to use particles comprising a metal substrate such as silver, aluminum, iron, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, gold, copper, zinc, tin, magnesium, steel, bronze, titanium, said substrate being coated with at least one layer of at least one metal oxide such as titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, iron oxide, cerium, chromium oxide, silicon oxides and mixtures thereof.

Mention may be made, by way of example, of the aluminum, bronze or copper powders coated with SiO ₂ marketed under the name VISIONAIRE by the company ECKART.

Mention may also be made of pigments with an interference effect not fixed on a substrate, such as liquid crystals (Helicones HC from Wacker), holographic interference flakes (Geometric Pigments or Spectra f/x from Spectratek). Special effect pigments also include fluorescent pigments, whether fluorescent in daylight or which produce ultraviolet fluorescence, phosphorescent pigments, photochromic pigments, thermochromic pigments and quantum dots, marketed for example by the Quantum Dots Corporation.

The variety of pigments which can be used in the present invention makes it possible to obtain a rich palette of colors, as well as particular optical effects such as metallic and interference effects.

The size of the pigment used in the composition according to the present invention is generally between 10 nm and 200 μm, preferably between 20 nm and 80 μm, and more preferably between 30 nm and 50 μm.

The pigments can be dispersed in the composition using a dispersing agent.

The dispersing agent serves to protect the dispersed particles against their agglomeration or flocculation. This dispersing agent may be a surfactant, an oligomer, a polymer or a mixture of several of them, bearing one or more functionalities having a strong affinity for the surface of the particles to be dispersed. In particular, they can cling physically or chemically to the surface of the pigments. These dispersants also have at least one functional group that is compatible or soluble in the continuous medium. In particular, use is made of esters of 12-hydroxystearic acid in particular and of C8 to C20 fatty acid and of polyol such as glycerol, diglycerin, such as poly(12-hydroxystearic) acid stearate of molecular weight of approximately 750 g/mole such as that sold under the name Solsperse 21,000 by the company Avecia, polygyceryl-2 dipolyhydroxystearate (CTFA name) sold under the reference Dehymyls PGPH by the company Henkel or polyhydroxystearic acid such as than that sold under the reference Arlacel P100 by the company Uniqema and their mixtures.

As other dispersant which can be used in the compositions of the invention, mention may be made of quaternary ammonium derivatives of polycondensed fatty acids such as Solsperse 17000 sold by the company Avecia, mixtures of polydimethylsiloxane/oxypropylene such as those sold by the company Dow Corning under the references DC2-5185, DC2-5225 C.

The pigments used in the composition can be surface-treated with an organic agent.

Thus the pigments previously surface-treated useful in the context of the invention are pigments which have undergone totally or partially a surface treatment of a chemical, electronic, electro-chemical, mechano-chemical or mechanical nature, with an organic agent such as those which are described in particular in Cosmetics and Toiletries, February 1990, Vol. 105, p. 53-64 before being dispersed in the composition in accordance with the invention. These organic agents can for example be chosen from waxes, for example carnauba wax and beeswax; fatty acids, fatty alcohols and their derivatives, such as stearic acid, hydroxystearic acid, stearyl alcohol, hydroxystearyl alcohol, lauric acid and their derivatives; anionic surfactants; lecithins; sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, titanium, zinc or aluminum salts of fatty acids, for example aluminum stearate or laurate; metal alkoxides; polyethylene; (meth)acrylic polymers, for example polymethylmethacrylates; polymers and copolymers containing acrylate units; alkanoamines; silicone compounds, for example silicones, in particular polydimethylsiloxanes; fluorinated organic compounds, for example perfluoroalkyl ethers; fluoro-silicone compounds.

The surface-treated pigments useful in the composition may also have been treated with a mixture of these compounds and/or have undergone several surface treatments.

The surface-treated pigments useful in the context of the present invention can be prepared according to surface treatment techniques well known to those skilled in the art or found as such in commerce.

Preferably, the surface-treated pigments are covered by an organic layer.

The organic agent with which the pigments are treated can be deposited on the pigments by solvent evaporation, chemical reaction between the molecules of the surfactant or creation of a covalent bond between the surfactant and the pigments.

The surface treatment can thus be carried out, for example, by chemical reaction of a surfactant with the surface of the pigments and creation of a covalent bond between the surfactant and the pigments or the fillers. This method is described in particular in US patent 4,578,266.

Preferably, an organic agent bound to the pigments covalently will be used.

The surface treatment agent can represent from 0.1 to 50% by weight of the total weight of the surface-treated pigment, preferably from 0.5 to 30% by weight, and even more preferably from 1 to 20% by weight. weight of the total weight of surface-treated pigment.

Preferably, the surface treatments of the pigments are chosen from the following treatments:

- a PEG-Silicone treatment such as the AQ surface treatment marketed by LCW;

- a Methicone treatment such as the SI surface treatment marketed by LCW;

- a Dimethicone treatment such as the Covasil 3.05 surface treatment marketed by LCW;

- a Dimethicone/Trimethylsiloxysilicate treatment such as the Covasil 4.05 surface treatment marketed by LCW;

The coloring composition according to the invention may also comprise at least one thickening agent, preferably chosen from non-carboxylic anionic thickening agents.

Within the meaning of the present invention, the term “non-carboxylic agent” means an agent which does not comprise a carboxylic acid (-COOH) or carboxylate ( ^-COO- ) function.

Preferably, the non-carboxylic anionic thickening agent(s) are chosen from non-carboxylic anionic polymers, more preferably from anionic polymers containing sulphonic group(s).

By anionic polymer is meant, within the meaning of the invention, a polymer comprising one or more anionic or anionizable groups and not comprising any cationic or cationizable group.

Advantageously, the non-carboxylic anionic thickening agent(s) are chosen from anionic polymers comprising at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing a sulphonic group, in free or partially or totally neutralized form.

These polymers can be crosslinked or non-crosslinked. They are preferably cross-linked.

These polymers may or may not be associative, preferably non-associative.

It is recalled that “associative polymers” are polymers capable, in an aqueous medium, of combining reversibly with each other or with other molecules.

Their chemical structure more particularly comprises at least one hydrophilic zone and at least one hydrophobic zone.

By “hydrophobic group”, is meant a radical or polymer with a hydrocarbon chain, saturated or not, linear or branched, comprising at least 8 carbon atoms, preferably from 10 to 30 carbon atoms, in particular from 12 to 30 carbon atoms. carbon and more preferably from 18 to 30 carbon atoms.

Preferably, the hydrocarbon group comes from a monofunctional compound. By way of example, the hydrophobic group can come from a fatty alcohol such as stearyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, decyl alcohol. It can also designate a hydrocarbon-based polymer such as for example polybutadiene.

The ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing a sulfonic group are chosen in particular from vinylsulfonic acid, styrenesulfonic acid, (meth)acrylamido(C ₁ -C ₂₂ )alkylsulfonic acids, N-(C ₁ -C ₂₂ )alkyl( meth)acrylamido-(C ₁ -C ₂₂ )alkylsulphonics such as undecyl-acrylamido-methane-sulphonic acid as well as their partially or totally neutralized forms.

The associative AMPS polymers can in particular be chosen from random associative polymers of AMPS modified by reaction with an n-monoalkylamine or a di-n-alkylamine in C ₆ -C ₂₂ , and such as those described in the patent application WO 00/31154 (part of the content of the description). These polymers may also contain other ethylenically unsaturated hydrophilic monomers chosen, for example, from derivatives of (meth)acrylic acids, such as their esters obtained with monoalcohols or mono- or poly-alkylene glycols, (meth)acrylamides, vinylpyrrolidone, or mixtures of these compounds.

The preferred polymers of this family are chosen from associative copolymers of AMPS and of at least one hydrophobic ethylenically unsaturated monomer.

These same copolymers may also contain one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers not comprising a fatty chain such as derivatives of (meth)acrylic acids, in particular their esters obtained with monoalcohols or mono- or poly-alkylene glycols, (meth )acrylamides, vinylpyrrolidone, or mixtures of these compounds.

Mention may be made, for example, of the work Sciences of Synthesis – Houben – Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations, 2005, Georg Thiem Verlag Kg, Rudigerstrasse 14, D-70469 Stuttgart, or the American patent US 4,284,730 or the Canadian application CA 2 509 861.

More particularly, the process for preparing the (poly)carbodiimides of the invention uses, in a first step, a diisocyanate reagent (1):
O=C=NL ₁ -N=C=O (1),
formula (1) in which L ₁ is as defined above which reacts in the presence of a carboimidation catalyst (2) such as those described in US Pat. preferably under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen or Argon), and in particular in a preferably aprotic polar solvent such as THF, glyme, diglyme, 1,4-dioxane, and DMF, at a temperature between room temperature and reflux solvent, preferably around 140°C; to lead to the carbodiimide diisocyanate compound (3):
O=C=NL ₁ -(N=C=NL ₁ ) _n -N=C=O (3),
formula (3) in which L ₁ and n are as defined above. Benzoyl halogen such as benzoyl chloride can be added to deactivate the catalyst.

To obtain “symmetrical” (poly)carbodiimides, during the second stage of the preparation process, compound (3) reacts with 1 molar equivalent (1 eq) of nucleophilic reagent R ₁ -X ₁ -H, then 0.5 eq. of HEH reagent with R ₁ , X ₁ and E as defined previously, to lead to the “symmetrical” compound according to the invention (4):
[R ₁ -X ₁ -C(O)-NH-L ₁ -(N=C=NL ₁ ) _n -NH-C(O)] ₂ -E (4),
formula (4) in which R ₁ , X ₁ , L ₁ , n, and E are as defined above. According to a variant to obtain the compound (4) from (3) it is possible to add first 0.5 eq. of HEH reagent, then 1 eq. of reagent R ₁ -X ₁ -H.

To obtain “dissymmetrical” (poly)carbodiimides, during the second step of the preparation process, compound (3) reacts with 1 molar equivalent (1 eq) of nucleophilic reagent R ₁ -X ₁ -H then 1 eq. of HEH reagent with R ₁ , X ₁ and E as defined above, to yield compound (5):
R ₁ -X ₁ -C(O)-NH-L ₁ -(N=C=NL ₁ ) _n -NH-C(O)-EH (5),
formula (5) in which R ₁ , X ₁ , L ₁ , n, and E are as defined above.

According to a variant to obtain the compound (5) from (3) it is possible to add first 1 eq. of reagent R ₁ -X ₁ -H, then 0.5 eq. of HHE reagent.

During a third step, compound (5) reacts with 1 eq. compound (6)
R ₂ -X ₂ -C(O)-NH-L ₁ -(N=C=NL ₁ ) _z -N=C=O (6), said compound (6) is prepared beforehand from compound (3 '):
O=C=NL ₁ -(N=C=NL ₁ ) _z -N=C=O (3'),

formula (3’) in which L₁and z are as previously defined which reacts with 1 eq of nucleophilic reagent R₂-X₂-H with L₁, R₂, X₂, and z as defined previously, to lead to the asymmetrical compound (7):
R₁-X₁-C(O)-NH-L₁-(N=C=N-L₁)_not-NH-C(O)-E-C(O)-NH-L₁--(N=C=N-L₁)_z-NH-C(O)-X₂-R₂(7),

Formula (7) in which R ₁ , X ₁ , L ₁ , R ₂ , X ₂ , n, z and E are as defined above.

It is also possible to react 1 molar equivalent of compound O=C=NL ₁ -(N=C=NL ₁ ) _z -N=C=O (3') with 1/w molar equivalent of HEH, then 1 eq . of nucleophilic reagent R ₂ -X ₂ -H to yield compound (8):
H-[EC(O)-NH-L ₁ -(N=C=NL ₁ ) _z ] _w -NH-C(O)-X ₂ -R ₂ (8),

formula (8) in which L ₁ , R ₂ , X ₂ , z and E are as defined above, and w is an integer between 1 and 3, more preferably w = 1.

This last compound (8) can then react with 1 eq of compound (4'):
R ₁ -X ₁ -C(O)-NH-L ₁ -(N=C=NL ₁ ) _n -N=C=O (4'), (said compound (4') being able to be synthesized by reaction of 0 .5 eq of nucleophilic reagent R ₁ -X ₁ -H with 1 equivalent of compound (3)), to yield the (poly)carbodiimide of the invention (9):
R ₁ -X ₁ -C(O)-NH-L ₁ -(N=C=NL ₁ ) _n -NH-C(O)-[EC(O)-NH-L ₁ -(N=C=NL ₁ ) _z ] _w -NH C(O)-X ₂ -R ₂ (9),
formula (9) in which L ₁ , R ₁ , X ₁ , R ₂ , X ₂ , n, z, w, and E are as defined previously.

The (poly)carbodiimide compounds, like all the reaction intermediates and reagents, can be purified using standard methods known to those skilled in the art, such as extraction with water and an organic solvent immiscible in water, precipitation, centrifugation, filtration, and/or chromatography.

Example 1: Process for the synthesis of the (poly)carbodiimide compound

In a 500 mL three-necked flask equipped with a thermometer, a stirrer and a reflux tube, 50 g of dicyclohexylmethane 4,4'-diisocyanate and 0.5 g of 4,5-dihydro-3-methyl -1-phenyl-1H-phosphole 1-oxide were introduced with stirring.

The reaction medium was heated at 140° C. under nitrogen for 4 hours, following the reaction by infrared spectroscopy through the absorption of the isocyanate functions between 2200 and 2300 cm ^-1 , then cooled to 120° C.

A mixture of 5.3 g of polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether and 1.2 g of 1,4-butanediol are introduced into the reaction medium with stirring. The temperature of 120° C. is maintained until the total disappearance of the isocyanate functions, monitored by infrared spectroscopy at 2200-2300 cm ^-1 , then cooled to room temperature.

After cooling to room temperature, the reaction medium is poured drop by drop with vigorous stirring into a 500 mL glass beaker containing 85 g of distilled water to yield the desired product in the form of a translucent yellow liquid.

Each of compositions B1 to B7 was mixed with composition A1 at a 50/50 mass ratio to obtain compositions C1 to C7.

Composition C1 is therefore a comparative composition. Compositions C2 to C7 are compositions according to the invention.

Protocol:

Each of the compositions C1 to C7 is applied to locks of natural dry hair at 90% white, at the rate of 0.8 g of composition per gram of lock.

The strands of hair are then detangled and dried using a hair dryer, then combed.

The locks are then stored at ambient temperature and humidity for 24 hours before evaluation.

Results :

The colorimetric data of each of the locks are then measured with a Minolta CM-3600A spectrophotometer. In this L* a* b* system, L* represents the color intensity, a* indicates the green/red color axis and b* the blue/yellow color axis. The higher the value of L*, the lighter or less intense the color. Conversely, the lower the value of L*, the darker or more intense the color. The higher the value of a* the more red the shade and the higher the value of b* the more yellow the shade.

The increase in color on the hair therefore corresponds to the variation in coloring between the locks of colored hair BN (natural whites at 90% white) and the uncolored hair i.e. untreated BN which is measured by (∆E) according to the equation next :

In this equation, L*, a* and b* represent the values measured after coloring the BN hair and L0*, a0* and b0* represent the values measured before coloring the BN hair. The higher the value of ∆E, the greater the color rise.

The results are shown in Table 3 below:

Compositions I* To* b* ΔE Untreated natural hair 90% natural whites (BN) 64.0 1.5 18.1 C1 (comparative) 44.7 22.3 19.1 28.4 C2 (invention) 39.0 27.0 20.3 35.8 C3 (invention) 41.7 26.1 20.2 33.3 C4 (invention) 39.3 27.0 20.2 35.6 C5 (invention) 40.8 24.9 19.2 33.0 C6 (invention) 41.9 26.7 20.3 33.6 C7 (invention) 40.3 27.7 21.1 35.5

It clearly appears that the presence of proteins in the compositions C2 to C7 according to the invention makes it possible to improve the intensity of the color. Furthermore, the compositions according to the invention C2 to C7 show a better rise in color compared to the comparative composition C1.
