Intelligent Nutrients makes Certified Organic Health and Beauty products. Many beauty product companies claim to have organic and natural ingredients, but Intelligent Nutrients(IN) backs it up with certification.

The IN collection includes certified organic aromatics, scalp and hair care, hair styling, body cleanser, and more. Inc

In addition to being certified organic, IN produces with 100% renewable energy, does not test on animals, and even portions of the ShopNBC set will be made from recycled materials.

The line debuts on ShopNBC this May 28, 2009 at 9 AM CST. You can find their beauty products at stores such as Barneys and a few other selected stores throughout America. But with ShopNBC these green products will be accessible to all of us. You can even order online.

ShopNBC executives have said that IN is described as “…a brilliant combination of avant garde yet classical in its own right. This blend of tradition and progressive is a perfect fit for the premium products that are showcased on ShopNBC….”

IN was created by founder and respected environmentalist Horst M. Rechelbacher. He founded the Aveda Corporation in 1978 and sold it to Estee Lauder in 2008. Now he has founded Intelligent Nutrients focusing on 100% food-based and organic certified ingredients.

Vanity Fair has named him the most influential environmentalists in the U.S. in 1995 and 2005. He was one of the original founders of the Business for Social Responsibility, which promotes the idea that businesses have the greatest responsibility and opportunities to provide sustainability.

Among his awards he recently got in 2007, the Rachel Carson Award for a Lifetime Commitment to Environmental Ethics & Integrity. And later in the year he got recognized as a Innovator & Legend for his lifetime contribution to the cosmetology industry by the Spa & Salon Professional Association. What a green leader!

The founder of the Body Shop, Anita Roddick 64, passed away of natural causes last Monday. She opened with just one small store and grew her company to over 2000 stores which where eco friendly before it was fashionable.

Greenpeace director, said Roddick was an “incredible woman”, the prime minister of UK said “She campaigned for green issues for many years before it became fashionable to do so and inspired millions to the cause by bringing sustainable products to a mass market.”

The Body Shop, witch sells of beauty, body, and bath products, has always sought to be allied with eco friendly values and human rights from its beginnings in 1976. They were one of the first to be against animal testing, buying ingredients from local communities while doing it with a stylish image. They have also founded a human rights award and invested in renewable energy…

The Body Shop has been bought in recent years by the French L’Oreal but it operates independently. It was Riddick’s hope that the small company can teach its new parents eco friendly values of human rights, animal rights, and the environment.
