Mr Rechelbacher had a huge greening influence on the mega big estee lauder company. If you sell your car are you responsible for the drunk driver who buys the car? They looked sober when they bought it. His new Intelligent nutrients company is fabulous and my buyfriend loves the fact that I both wear the perfume on my body and my ice cream!its complletely edible!! all great entreprenuers must sell thier companies when they become too large and move on to thier next game.

I just think it's kind of sad to grow a company like Aveda based on some damn fine principles, then turn around and sell it off, let it get destroyed, and turn around and start up another company. I'd much rather see him put his time and energy back into his original legacy -- honestly, the downfall of Aveda has made me completely lose faith in him as an entrepreneur and bringer of more good principles. He can drink all the hairspray he wants, but I won't be following his companies or their products in the future. I think true integrity would be to save Aveda from the evil clutches of Estee Lauder. (And quite frankly, even though he did indeed sell it off to Estee Lauder, whom I do indeed despise, they associate their brand identity so closely with the Rechelbacher name that it maligns him too, IMO!)

Didn't Mr Rechelbacher sell Aveda to Estee Lauder in the 90s? Shouldn't it be the fall of Estee Lauder's Aveda? BTW, isn't Horst more recently associated with Intelligent Nutrients? An organic line so pure (apparently) that in an interview I saw Horst actually drank their hairspray. I don’t understand the title of your article.

I couldnt make a payment on my purchase (due to the bad economic crisis and slow business) and Aveda came within 24 hours of notice and took all the products away. I am left now with a spa and no products. GREAT COMPANY!! Thank you I had Aveda products at my spa for 5 months.
