Emulsion dyeing composition containing at least one phospholipid, at least one nonionic surfactant and at least one carboxylic acid, and method of using same
The present invention is drawn to a composition and method for dyeing keratinous substrates containing: (a) at least one phospholipid (b) at least one nonionic surfactant (c) at least one compound chosen from an alkyl ether carboxylic acid, an alkyl ether carboxylate, a fatty acid having from about 6 to about 40 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof (d) at least one dye chosen from oxidation dye precursors and direct dyes. The compositions of the present invention may optionally contain at least one thickening agent, at least one alkaline agent, at least one fatty substance other than a fatty acid, at least one salt, and at least one oxidizing agent.
