About Mosia: The Beautiful Warrior Within


Our Story:

Based in the vibrant city of Glasgow, Scotland, Mosia's journey began with a desire to create beautiful, handcrafted scents that bring comfort and joy to the home. While I had previously explored design through prints on Etsy, under the name ChloCreates, I felt a pull towards something more sensory and evocative. The initial spark for Mosia came from a personal quest: the search for the perfect coffee-scented candle. Inspired by a fleeting fragrance I couldn't replicate, I decided to create my own. While that perfect coffee scent remains a delightful challenge, candles became the starting point – a way to bring handcrafted comfort and carefully chosen aromas into people's lives. The transition to the name Mosia, meaning "beautiful warrior," marked a desire to elevate the brand and fully embrace a vision of strength, beauty, and authentic self-expression. We're now excited to expand beyond our beloved candles into a curated collection of homeware and decor, always keeping this core ethos at heart.


Our Mission:

  • Our mission at Mosia is to create high-quality, natural home fragrance and lifestyle products that:
  • Enhance your everyday moments and transform your space into a personal sanctuary of comfort and peace.
  • Offer subtle yet meaningful ways to express your unique style and connect with emotions and memories through our evocative scents and thoughtfully designed items.
  • Reflect our deep commitment to sustainability by using natural ingredients, choosing eco-conscious packaging, and prioritizing local sourcing, especially within our Scottish community. We also believe in using our platform to uplift marginalized communities.
  • Ultimately, to empower the "beautiful warrior" within you to embrace your authentic journey, celebrate your strength, and foster a true sense of belonging, both within yourself and the world around you.


Our Vision:


mosia envisions homes and lives enriched by ethically crafted fragrances and beautiful objects that inspire well-being, spark joy, and cultivate a profound sense of belonging.

  • Climate Positive: We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact at every step. From our natural wax and responsibly sourced ingredients to our recyclable and biodegradable packaging, we continuously seek ways to be kinder to the planet. We prioritize local suppliers to reduce our carbon footprint.
  • Local First (Where Possible): Being based in Scotland is important to us. We proudly partner with local businesses like Candle Shack and are committed to sourcing from other Scottish makers and artisans as we expand our product lines.
  • Embrace Individuality: We believe that everyone is unique and beautiful in their own way. Our products and messaging aim to celebrate this individuality, encouraging self-expression and challenging limiting societal norms. The spirit of the "beautiful warrior" is about honoring your authentic self.

 

 

Our Commitment to Inclusivity & Accessibility:

Mosia is more than just a brand; it's a reflection of our personal experiences. As a visually impaired person, and with my partner navigating life with ADHD, we are deeply committed to making Mosia as inclusive and accessible as possible. This commitment shapes how we design our website, provide product information, and approach our communication. We are continuously learning and striving to ensure everyone can experience the beauty and comfort of Mosia.


Looking Ahead:


Our journey is just beginning. We are excited to expand the Mosia family to include thoughtfully curated homeware and decor, and perhaps even apparel and jewelry, all while staying true to our core values and mission. We envision a brand that offers a holistic approach to creating spaces and expressing identities that feel authentic and empowering.
