The 3 Sonett Quality Levels Quality Level 3: The dynamic quality

The third level of our Sonett quality is determined by the balsamic addi- tives und by applying “life-foster- ing” technology. Furthermore we treat the entire processing water of our liquid products in a swirl chain of 12 egg-shaped glass vessels, in which the free-flowing water can form beautifully shaped vortexes, Oloid mixer One of the 12 water-swirling thus recharging its energy. Balsamic additives In an oloid mixer we rhythmatise the balsamic additives, which consist of frankincense, gold, myrrh resin, laurel leaves, olive oil, rose salts and mistletoe, and add them, in small doses, to the finished laundry deter- gents and cleaning agents. To our knowledge, only Sonett deals with the topic of rhythmatisation and applying “life-fostering technology” in the field of ecological laundry detergents Frankincense Gold Myrrh resin and cleaning agents. We strive to counteract the centrifugal movements of rotating mixers and bottling ma- chines, which tend to be hostile to- wards life, by adding these rhythma- tised balsamic additives thus creating a revitalising lemniscatic impulse. Thanks to the first crystal analysis studies it was possible to illustrate Laurel leaves Olive oil Rose the specific quality of the additives treated in this manner. Judge for yourself as for the effect of this preparation on the crystal patterns (see illustrations below).
