If you were underwhelmed by the first generation of natural hair care products from Intelligent Nutrients, the new Harmonic shampoo and conditioner should redeem Horst Rechelbacher's Minneapolis-based organic health and beauty company.

Harmonic is free of gluten, sulphates, parabens and other toxins that are believed to be health hazards. It suds nicely, smells faintly fresh and leaves hair shiny and — dare we say — less frizzy. Thumbs-up on the travel size bottle design, with a snap-on cap to minimize spills.

Harmonic shampoo and conditioner sell for $22 to $24 each ($7 to $7.50 for travel size) at Nature of Beauty, 1045 Grand Ave., St. Paul (www.natureofbeauty.com); Intelligent Nutrients, 983 E. Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis (www.intelligentnutrients.com); or StormSister Spatique, 635 S. Smith Ave., St. Paul (www.stormsisterspatique.com).
