Abstract

An odor-reducing composition for counteracting malodour in which the composition includes an odor reducing material of the type phenyl ethyl methyl ether, Cyprisate, Camonal and paracresyl methyl ether and a method for counteracting malodour employing such a composition.

Claims

1. A hair-treatment composition comprising ammonia and an odor-reducing composition for counteracting malodorous amines wherein the odor-reducing composition comprises at least two odor-reducing materials selected from the group consisting of phenyl ethyl methyl ether, Cyprisate, Camonal and paracresyl methyl ether.

3. A hair-treatment composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the odor-reducing material is present at 10 wt. % or above.

4. A hair-treatment composition as claimed in claim 3, wherein the odor-reducing material is present at 15 wt. % or above.

5. A hair-treatment composition as claimed in claim 4 wherein the odor-reducing material is present at 30 wt. % or above.

7. A hair-treatment composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein said composition is a hair colorant.

8. A hair-treatment composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein said composition is a bleaching composition for hair.

10. A hair-treatment composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the ammonia is present in an amount from 0.5 wt. % to 5 wt. %.

11. A method of counteracting malodorous amines comprising adding to the source of the malodor a malodor counteracting amount of an odor-reducing composition comprising at least two odor-reducing materials selected from the group consisting of phenyl ethyl methyl ether, Cyprisate, Camonal and paracresyl methyl ether.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein said odor-reducing material is present in said odor-reducing composition at 10 wt. % or above.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein said odor-reducing material is present ins aid odor-reducing composition at 15 wt. % or above.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein said odor-reducing material is present in said odor-reducing composition at 30 wt. % or above.

16. The method of claim 11, wherein the malodorous amine comprises ammonia.

17. The method of claim 11, wherein the source of the malodour comprises a hair-treatment product.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the hair-treatment product comprises a hair-colorant.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein the hair-treatment product is a bleaching composition for hair.
