Horst M. Rechelbacher (1941 – February 15, 2014) was the Austrian-born founder of the Aveda Corporation and Intelligent Nutrients. His interest in developing products without toxic chemicals launched the market for natural cosmetics in the United States.

In 1970, Rechelbacher went to Florida to participate in a number of different competitions. During those he came up with the idea to start "Aveda" - an all natural hair products line.

Rechelbacher developed Clove Shampoo and later Cherry Almond Bark Conditioner based on his earlier renditions.

In 1978, he founded Aveda and began to expand the product line into hair, skin and body care, makeup, plant-based purefumes, (aromatherapy) and lifestyle products that were all centered on his newfound convictions.[citation needed] Under his guidance he continued a search for flower and plant ingredients around the globe and focused on working with indigenous peoples in mutually beneficial circumstances.[citation needed]

Following the Exxon Valdez oil spill, Rechelbacher was the first to sign onto the Valdez Principles, now the Ceres principles, joining corporate environmental responsibility with corporate bottom line. In 1992, along with his partner Kiran, he attended the Earth Summit, where three key agreements occurred: the Climate Change Convention, a precursor to the Kyoto Protocol, the Convention on Biological Diversity and an Intellectual Property Rights accord for indigenous peoples that included preventing actions that could be deemed culturally inappropriate and/or cause environmental destruction. Through this convention, Rechelbacher forged a relationship with the Brazilian Yawanawa tribe began a project cultivating uruku and replanting seedlings in deforested areas.

Emerging as one of the hottest cult brands of the decade and as a lovemark brand, Aveda became a global brand itself known for merging two previously divergent concepts - great products and green design for the welfare of the planet and its inhabitants.

Nearly two decades after Rechelbacher incorporated, he sold Aveda to the Estee Lauder Companies but remained a consultant until March 2003.
