This state-of-the-art advanced skin health science revitalizes, rejuvenates and restores skin with a concentrated topical Plant Stem Cell Renewal Complex and ingestible Plant Stem Cell Nutraceutical Fiber. Plant Stem Cell Science features ingredients from a proprietary biotech process that allows for the selection and reproduction of antioxidant-rich plant stem cells cultivated in the purest lab, without the use of soil. This process provides access to rare, highly active plant stem cells with antioxidant concentrations up to 1,000 times that of plants in nature. It is completely eco-sustainable and respectful of bio-diversity and represents the cleanest, greenest and highest quality. The proprietary blend of antioxidant-rich plant stem cells from Edelweiss, Coneflower and Pennywort, formulated at the highest potency for maximum efficacy, are ideal powerful agents to fight the visible signs of aging: reduce fine lines and wrinkles, diffuse age spots, even skin tone, and reduce redness and other skin discolorations. In addition, the plant stem cells are free of genetic modifications, environmental contaminates, heavy metals, pesticide and toxins. This pioneering ecorevolutionary science brings a new level of sustainability and nutrition to foods and cosmetics.

The Intelligent Nutrients philosophy believes that the only way to make health and beauty products better for your body - with superior performance—is to use nutritious organic food ingredients, certified organic to the highest standards. Intelligent Nutrients hair, skin and body care products contains super-antioxidant Intellimune® Seed Oil Complex—an anti-aging, synergistic blend of black cumin, pumpkin, red grape, red raspberry and cranberry seed oils. And the rest of the ingredients? Nutritious, organic food ingredients designed to work in harmony with your body. All IN products are free of the suspect ingredients commonly used in beauty products today, including sulfates, plastics, parabens, silicone, mineral oil, petrolatum, petrochemical-derivatives and synthetics. If the philosophy behind Intelligent Nutrients sounds familiar, you're right. Thirty years ago, a young Horst Rechelbacher dreamed of creating a healthier, more organic approach to beauty. That dream was realized with the founding of Aveda in 1978. A revolution was underway in the beauty industry, and it changed the way people thought about hair care, skin care and cosmetics. Now, Horst has done the same with Intelligent Nutrients, creating health and beauty products you can feel good about buying, wearing, and using. Nutritious and safe, made with globally grown organics and presented in thoughtful, eco-friendly packaging, Intelligent Nutrients is beauty for a new age. Intelligent Nutrients was described as the “Breakthrough Product of the Year” by Women's Wear Daily and received their highly prestigious Beauty Biz Award in 2008. The brand was also recognized with an Elle Magazine Green Star Award in 2009. Intelligent Nutrients products are available at Barney’s NY and select Whole Foods Market and salon locations across the US as well as online at www.intelligentnutrients.com. I N T E L L I G E N T B U S I N E S S Certified Organic—There is no organic standard for cosmetics in the United States or the UK, which is why manufacturers can get away with green washing (giving misleading information to conceal abuse of environment and consumer safety). IN products and ingredients are certified organic by the highest standards in the world—the USDA’s NOP and UK’s Soil Association. Consumers can trust IN because of third party authentication and certification —as demonstrated by the organic seals, which appear on all IN products. Scientific Research and Collaboration—IN works with noted physicians and scientists at leading universities and institutions as well as food and cosmetic chemists to create non-toxic, active formulations that have superior performance, without synthetic and petrochemical derived ingredients. 100% Renewable Energy—All Intelligent Nutrients products are manufactured with 100% renewable energy as demonstrated by the Green-E seal on all of our products. The IN headquarters in Minneapolis, MN is also 100% powered by renewable energy. Organic Farming—We grow certified organic ingredients on Horst Rechelbacher’s farm in Osceola, Wisconsin for research and for use in Intelligent Nutrients products. Cruelty Free—Our commitment is that none of our ingredients or products are ever tested on animals, as demonstrated by the Leaping Bunny seal on all IN products.
