Frequently asked questions
Many questions about our products, ingredients or sales keep coming up: What are the INCIS? Why is there “perfume” in the INCIS of natural products? And can TAOASIS products also be bought abroad? Here we try to answer you the most important questions about us and our products.
About us
Yes. TAOASIS was founded in 1991 by Axel Meyer, and since 2013 Axel Meyer’s son Govinda Meyer has been part of the family business as the second CEO. They are personally involved in all decisions and processes, so that the addition “family-managed” really does apply. On our page “About us” you can find more information about us and our history.
Products
The fragrance device should always be adapted to the room you want to scent. Fragrance stones, for example, have a very small fragrance radius and are especially suitable for the desk or nightstand. Small ultrasonic nebulizers such as the TaoWell Mini or the TaoStone thermal fragrance stone are suitable for smaller rooms up to about 15sqm.
For larger rooms up to about 30 sqm, a larger nebulizer like the TaoWell Yogini is suitable, and for very large rooms, the TaoWell Natura is suitable, which scents rooms up to 40 sqm. Otherwise, you can also change the dosage a little, for example, by adding a few more drops of oil into the nebulizer. However, for larger rooms should definitely get a larger device, so that the scent is not too intense near the device.
The clay jug, for example in our Sleep well-set with Clay jug , works like a scent stone. You can put a few drops of the oil in the jug or the whole bottle. You can then close it with the cork or leave it open – the clay jug sucks the oil from the inside to the upper area, which is not glazed from the outside, and scents the room – because essential oils evaporate completely by themselves and without residues! Due to the dropwise dosage you can control the consumption and the intensity of the fragrance a bit better and do not directly use the whole bottle. You can also just put a few drops on the jar from the outside. If the oil is used up, you can neutralize the clay jug in the dishwasher and use it again.
Ingredients & Quality
Our oils are naturally pure and organic and come from organic or even Demeter cultivation – without any additives. We never use synthetic or nature-identical substances. You can read about the high quality criteria and standards we use to manufacture our products on our “Quality” page .
Our oils are made of 100% natural, essential oils. We do not use any synthetic or nature-identical substances. There are two reasons for the fact that you find “perfume” in the INCIS: 1. The guidelines for the INCIS (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) specify exactly what has to be stated as an ingredient on cosmetics. So we have to distinguish the essential oils that we use. But since we – and this is the second reason – of course do not want to disclose the exact recipe for our products, we use (as provided by the INCIS), “perfume” as a generic term for various essential oils. Perfume does not mean that it is a non-natural ingredient – our oils are 100% natural. Nevertheless, in the INCIS, of course, allergy relevant ingredients are indicated.
The oils of our Feel series are specially developed for the nebulizers, therefore they contain a small amount of organic alcohol which makes them mix easier with water. Only in these scent compositions alcohol is deliberately added.
All our oils are subject to the same strict quality controls. The Baldini organic flavors are 20 essential oils, which we have additionally labeled with the EG Öko-label and thus as food. This allows us to recommend these oils for internal consumption. All other essential oils are certified as natural cosmetics and we are not allowed to recommend them for internal use. Exceptions are the two oils peppermint (PZN 00729563) and eucalyptus (PZN 00729557) from the series “Aromatherapy medicine cabinet”. They are approved as medicinal products and may be recommended and used accordingly.
How to use
We may only recommend our essential oils for consumption, which we offer as the organic flavor under the Baldini brand . These are food-grade and can be used to flavor food and drinks. Basically, all our oils are subject to the same strict quality controls and are all natural. However, we must not recommend all oils for consumption, as they are indicated as natural cosmetics.
For the internal intake also certain instructions are to be observed. Visit our page “How to use essential oils” for more information.
Yes. Our Baldini organic fragrances are all-natural, essential oils that we have additionally labeled as food. Therefore, we can also recommend them for food and drinks. You can still use them for the scenting of rooms and also on the skin. If you want to use essential oils on the skin, you should first mix them with a base oil such as almond oil or jojoba oil.
Which dosage is the right one varies greatly depending on the individual preference and the type of application. Under “Dosage” you will find valuable tips.
For babies and children, some application and dosage instructions should be followed. Please visit our “Aromatherapy for Babies and Children” page and other related literature on which oils you can use in which dosage.
During pregnancy, some application and dosage instructions should be followed. Please visit our “Aromatherapy in Pregnancy” page and other related literature on which oils you can use in which dosage.
