I was first intrigued by this brand when I read about how the founder drank the hair spray to prove that all his products are non-toxic. That shows how much faith he has in his products. Totally commendable! You can read about the founder here.
Intelligent Nutrients is touted as a health and beauty company that lives to the highest standards of 100% food-based, safe, non-toxic and organic ingredients.

Everything about this brand screams "big. The bottles at its gigantic size of 444ml, the fonts on the packaging, the website, the history, the ingredients, the certifications, etc. Simple and clear messaging about their products. It has even achieved a champion status with the Compact for Safe Cosmetics where the company is known to comply with the European Union's Cosmetics Directive, disclosed all ingredients and regularly update product information to EWG.
The shampoo is housed in a dark orange flick-top bottle which is huge and non-travel friendly. The contents are runny, so it oozes out of the small gap easily. It lathers well but I tend to use more than the usual amount that I would, from other brands, which explained why both the shampoo and conditioner are depleting at the same rate. It has a refreshing scent that agrees well with my nose and provides a minty and tingly feel on the hair.
The conditioner's consistency is creamier than the shampoo and also gives the same minty and tingly feel to the hair, though I feel the shampoo gives a better minty sensation since I used it all over the hair, instead of just the hair ends, like how I used the conditioner.
Using the shampoo in conjunction with the conditioner gave me detangled hair ends ( on most of the days ), with a soft and fluffy texture. Hair feels clean, smooth and looks slightly more voluminous.

For the natural enthusiast, you may want to note that the products do contain phenoxyethanol ( the 6th ingredient on my shampoo bottle ), however on their website, it seemed that they may have reformulated it without phenoxyethanol though the reformulation is not mentioned anywhere else.
Here's what he says about his products containing Phenoxyethanol. And here's a chemist take on Phenoxyethanol itself.
Apparently, there are some animal studies that demonstrated that Phenoxyethanol has some toxic effects on the brain and nervous system with moderate concentrations.
