Intelligent Nutrients, the global leader in USDA Certified Organic Beauty, has launched the first-ever color saving shampoo, conditioner and shield, giving your hair and the planet a solution that is healthy, nutritious and safe. “Our eco-science team used the very latest in plant bioactive technology to develop a formula that not only saves color, it gives your hair and body a serious line of defense against environmental pollutants,” said Nicole Rechelbacher, Co-President, Intelligent Nutrients. “Every day, our hair and bodies are exposed to thousands of factors that degrade color, and ultimately our health. The results of our studies with PURESERVE are amazing, and I love that it makes my own hair so soft, shiny and smooth.” Rechelbacher speaks from experience, her father Horst founded AVEDA Corporation and Intelligent Nutrients, where Nicole led development of many beauty innovations. PURESERVE is a three-step process that works together to protect from environmental pollutants. Following IN’s firm commitment to healthy beauty, every product uses non-toxic ingredients free from parabens, surfactants, faux fragrance, PEG, phthalates and non bio-compatible silicones—all of which degrade color and have been linked to health issues. “The beauty of PURESERVE is the deep science and formulas that feature multi-functional aromatics, so that energizing scent is working on your body, hair color and even your mind,” said Rechelbacher. Studies show that everything from harsh surfactants to sun to water can penetrate the hair shaft that lifts the cuticle, and results in damage, fly aways and dull hair. Studies by show that 75% of women dye their hair in some form and 55% of the population color their hair. 79% of women claim professional products keep hair coloring from fading. 60% of women say they feel more attractive right after having their hair colored.
