At DTI, products are assessed holistically from a consumer perspective. For foods and dietary supplements, carrying out the test requires the manufacturer to provide appropriate external laboratory analyses. Our own laboratory analyses are not carried out. The content of the documents presented is not verified, but is classified exclusively from the consumer's point of view for plausibility and recognizable attribution to the tested product. The manufacturer is solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of these documents.

Essential oils are often advertised as having a wide range of uses — from aroma care to flavoring additives for diluted use in food. Regardless of the formal test objective, consumers estimate how clearly this purpose is communicated, how comprehensible application and safety information is presented and how practicable the oil can be used in everyday life.
Packaging & first impression: The packaging looks sturdy, high-quality and visually appealing, with an overall coherent, more sustainable overall impression. The purpose as a flavor additive for diluted use in foods is clearly and prominently communicated. The transparency of the provision of information is particularly positive: After scanning the QR code, consumers have access to all relevant product information in German. There, packaging, symbols, certificates, dosage recommendations as well as safety and application instructions are clearly explained.
Application & dosage: The application is basically simple and self-explanatory. The practical test showed that the drip device works in a controlled manner: Even when the bottle is held upside down, the oil does not escape uncontrollably; only an initial impulse triggers the droplet delivery. However, attention is required for clean dosing, as the initial angle and the first pressure pulse determine whether individual drops or a larger quantity are released. Overall, the system enables precise dosing, but requires conscious handling.
Practical experience (culinary application, diluted): In practical testing, the oil — according to the information — was diluted as a flavoring additive in a dish. The aroma effect was pleasant and clearly perceptible. It is crucial to choose the dilution and dosage strictly according to the instructions, as even small quantities can produce a noticeable intensity.
Practical impression (aroma in the room): When tested in combination with an air filter or diffuser, it was possible to detect a gradual distribution of scent in the room. The scent is clearly perceptible without being obtrusive and is spread over several minutes. The intensity can be easily controlled via the number of drops, which is particularly relevant for sensitive users.
Conclusion from a consumer perspective: Overall, a very coherent product with a good dosing system, high information density and transparent communication. The combination of controlled drip delivery, clear safety information and digitally extended product information offers real added value for consumers. Instructions: Dilute and use according to dosage instructions. Work carefully when dosing: If oil gets on the label and is then wiped off, the pressure may blur. For this reason, it is recommended to store the bottle permanently in its original packaging (folding box).
