Mosley Lane's Product Line

» The burn rate is the amount of wax consumed per hour, measured in grams

» Antioxidant that enables fragrances to dissolve in oils

» Curing means to age the candle where molecular transformations occur between wax and fragrance. Depending on the wax and the selected fragrance oil, this bonding process sometimes takes weeks to finalize. The longer the amount of curing time equals greater fragrance throw

» A common raw material used in the soap making industry. Its properties add hardness and bubbly lather to cp soap

» Handmade cold processed soap that proceeds through a process called saponification

» Non-toxic solvent that dissolves fragrance

» Aroma compounds derived from plants or plant extracts. Also referred to as EO

» A small candle shaped with a rounded or tapered bottom so it floats in water. Floaters must be designed to burn in the center to insure that the melt pool is controlled and does not leak into the water

» Synthetic and natural aroma chemicals merged to create scented oil. The majority of fragrance oils are safe for body use. Also referred to as FO

» A candle manufacturer’s tactic to measure the amount of fragrance that is emitted from a candle. There is cold throw, which is the strength of the candle’s fragrance when not burning and hot throw; the strength while burning

» Natural, vegetable-based humectant that draws moisture to the skin

» A humectant is a hygroscopic substance, which means that they are able to absorb ambient water. They are commonly used in foods and cosmetic products to help retain moisture

» Bamboo sticks coated in ground resins and woods and then saturated with scented oil. Once dried, the incense will be lit to release its aromatic smoke

» Wax that has liquefied while the candle is burning. Fragrance is released from the surface area of the melt pool

» A high end raw material used in the soap making industry. Olive oil will produce a bar of soap that mildly cleanses and conditions the skin

» Products that are not chemically treated, free of unapproved pesticides and fresh or nominally processed

» Free standing candle manufactured from palm wax that is capable of burning without an encasing container

» A common raw material used in the soap making industry. Its properties add hardness and creamy lather to cp soap

» Small pillar shaped candles manufactured from palm wax that are designed to burn in a heat resistant container. While burning, votive candles will completely liquefy, similar to a container candle

» Emulsifier, which binding agent for fragance and base

» The chemical reaction that occurs between sodium hydroxide, water and the fats and oils used to make CP soap. This process takes between 4-6 weeks

» A raw material used in the soap making industry. Shea butter is used in cp soap for its moisturizing properties, it also adds hardness and creamy lather to cp soap

» Soy wax that is poured into a container of any type, such as jars, glasses, tins, etc...

» Vegetable wax that originates from the oil of soybeans. In order to make the oil solid at room temperature, some of the fatty acids in the oil are hydrogenated to convert them from unsaturated to saturated

» Wetting agents that allow for lubricity & easier spreading

» Derived from the almond nut, sweet almond oil is a moisturizer suited for sensitive, dry chapped skin. This oil is easily absorbed and feels light on the skin

» Small discs of scented soy & beeswax that are used to melt in a potpourri or tart burner or melter. Unlike a candle, the wax will remain behind after the fragrance has dispersed

» Vitamin E is considered an anti-oxidant. In its natural alcohol form (alpha tocopherol), skin is able to efficiently absorb the oil for protection from cell damaging free radicals. With its anti-inflammatory properties body products that contain Vitamin E have become a fundamental staple in the industry of skin care

» A dilemma often experienced by candle manufactures where the wax has pulled away from the sides of the glass container. Known as delamination, this occurrence makes the candle appear like it has wet spots or bubbles. Caused by temperature fluctuations, wet spots may disappear only to reappear at a later time. This cosmetic occurance in no way effects the way a candle burns and should not be considered defect

» Isopropyl alcohol
