Intelligent Nutrients Brand Story ― Harnessing the Power of Nature, Guided by the Wisdom of Science
What is Intelligent Nutrients?
Intelligent Nutrients was born from the belief in “creating a beautiful future that is kind to both people and the planet.”
For us, true beauty is not just about appearance—it is also about health of the mind and body, supported by the sustainability of the environment. Because our products touch the skin and hair directly, we avoid reliance on synthetic chemicals. Instead, we continue to create safe and effective products by drawing on the gifts of nature through the wisdom of science.
The Story of the Founder, Horst Rechelbacher
Horst M. Rechelbacher, the founder of Intelligent Nutrients, was a pioneer who united beauty and sustainability. Raised in the lush natural environment of Austria, he was fascinated by the power of plants from a young age. After moving to the U.S., he worked as a hairdresser and went on to found the world-renowned brand Aveda in 1978.
His revolutionary idea—“making people beautiful through the gifts of nature”—transformed the beauty industry. Yet his curiosity and passion did not stop there. After leaving Aveda, Horst launched Intelligent Nutrients with the vision of creating “products that are 100% safe for people and the planet.”
His philosophy is simple:
“Beauty comes from health, and health comes from the Earth.”
This principle still lives on in every Intelligent Nutrients product.
Responsible Craftsmanship
Intelligent Nutrients takes full responsibility for every product, ensuring honesty and integrity in everything we create:
-
Focus on certified organic ingredients
-
No synthetic fragrances, GMOs, silicones, or parabens
-
100% cruelty-free (never tested on animals)
-
Eco-conscious packaging (using recycled materials and plant-based inks)
For us, “sustainability is not an option, but a responsibility.”
Harmony Between Nature and Science
We also challenge the perception that “organic equals weak results.” By harnessing the power of natural ingredients—such as antioxidant-rich seed oil complexes and plant-based proteins that strengthen hair—we deliver visible results while staying true to sustainability.
A New Definition of Beauty
At Intelligent Nutrients, beauty is defined from three perspectives:
-
Personal Beauty
– Nourishing the skin and hair to bring out your natural radiance. -
Planetary Beauty
– Living sustainably and in harmony with the environment. -
Future Beauty

True beauty is found in the harmony of these three dimensions.
