Storage-stable developer for oxidative dye

Disclosed are oxidative compositions for oxidative treatment of hair, kits including such compositions, and methods for oxidative color change. Such oxidative compositions comprise water (50-90 wt.%), hydrogen peroxide (0.5-20 wt.%), at least linear saturated 1-alkanol with from about 12 to about 30 carbon atoms (1-2.8 wt.%), at least one anionic surfactant selected from alkyl sulfates and alkyl ether sulfates each with from about 10 to about 20 crbon atoms in the alkyl group and from 0 to 16 glycol ether groups (0.05-0.5 wt.%), dipicolinic acid (0.02 to 0.2 wt.%), 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid (etidronic acid) (0.05-0.5 wt.%), disodium pyrophosphate (0.02-0.2 wt.%), benzoic acid or a salt thereof (0.02-0.06 wt.%), and potassium hydroxide (0.025-0.3 wt.%). The oxidative composition has a pH in the range of from 2 to 3.8, measured at 20°C. The oxidative compositions do not include: phosphoric acid, salicylic acid, diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, ethvlenediamine tetraacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid nor salts thereof, phenacetin, stannates, cationic surfactants or oil.
