Buy 1 Kg Fragrance Oil for Commercial Wax Melt Making
Share
How much wax do I need with 1 kg of fragrance oil? At 10%, 9 kg. At 13%, 6.692 kg. At 8%, 11.5 kg. The kilo of oil is always the smaller half of the order.
Is 1 kg fragrance oil cheaper than 100 g? For most oils, no — 52 of 91 are within 1% per gram. Some save a lot (Honeydew Melon 22.0%, Ylang Ylang Flower and Pumpkin Spice 10.0%), and a few cost fractionally more at 1 kg (Love Spell and Pomegranate Splash, −0.2%).
When should a melt business buy a 1 kg pack? When that scent sells fast enough to use a kilo in a few months — for example 50 packs of six a month uses a kilo in 3.33 months at 10% — or when the kilo is one of the 24 oils with a real saving. When to buy has the table.
A kilo, counted in melts
Load is a share of the finished melt weight, so the oil in each illustrative 10 g melt is 10 g × load, and the melts in a kilo are 1,000 g divided by that. The wax is the other side of the same sum: every melt that holds 1.0 g of oil holds 9.0 g of wax. The table gives the full picture for a kilo at every load up to the ceiling on Chunks.
| Load | Oil per melt | Melts | Packs of six | Wax needed | Chunks bags | Allowed on |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6% | 0.6 g | 1,666.67 | 277.78 | 15.667 kg | 3.13 × 5 kg bags | Chunks or CSI 464 |
| 8% | 0.8 g | 1,250.00 | 208.33 | 11.500 kg | 2.30 × 5 kg bags | Chunks or CSI 464 |
| 10% | 1.0 g | 1,000.00 | 166.67 | 9.000 kg | 1.80 × 5 kg bags | Chunks or CSI 464 |
| 12% | 1.2 g | 833.33 | 138.89 | 7.333 kg | 1.47 × 5 kg bags | Chunks only |
| 13% | 1.3 g | 769.23 | 128.21 | 6.692 kg | 1.34 × 5 kg bags | Chunks only |
Two things to notice. First, the load changes the melt count a lot: the same kilo is 1,250 melts at 8% or 769.23 at 13%. If your load ladder shows a scent performs as well at 9% as at 13% — Best Fragrance Load for Strong Wax Melts shows how to find out — the kilo goes about 44% further. Second, the wax order is always the bigger one. A kilo of oil at 10% commits you to 9 kg of wax, which at ₹599.00 a kilo is ₹5,391.00 of Chunks — more than many kilos of oil cost.
If your melts are not 10 g, divide instead of reading the table. A kilo at 10% makes 2,000 illustrative 5 g melts or 500 illustrative 20 g melts. CSI does not publish the cavity weight of any mould, so weigh one filled cavity first. How Much Fragrance Oil Should I Use in Wax Melts? has the per-melt grams for other sizes.
Which kilos are actually cheaper
This is the part most kilo guides skip. On CSI's listed prices, the kilo is mostly not a discount: of 91 oils listing both sizes, 52 are within 1% per gram of the 100 g, and only 24 save 5% or more. A few cost fractionally more. The table compares ten 100 g bottles with one kilo for nine oils, both ways:
| Oil | 100 g | Ten × 100 g | 1 kg | Kilo saves | Per-gram saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honeydew Melon | ₹435.42 | ₹4,354.20 | ₹3,398.40 | ₹955.80 | 22.0% |
| Ylang Ylang Flower | ₹590.00 | ₹5,900.00 | ₹5,310.00 | ₹590.00 | 10.0% |
| Pumpkin Spice | ₹590.00 | ₹5,900.00 | ₹5,310.00 | ₹590.00 | 10.0% |
| Fresh Strawberries | ₹377.60 | ₹3,776.00 | ₹3,540.00 | ₹236.00 | 6.3% |
| Cinnamon Vanilla | ₹483.80 | ₹4,838.00 | ₹4,554.80 | ₹283.20 | 5.9% |
| Lavender | ₹540.00 | ₹5,400.00 | ₹5,221.00 | ₹179.00 | 3.3% |
| Dark Vanilla | ₹790.00 | ₹7,900.00 | ₹7,646.00 | ₹254.00 | 3.2% |
| Love Spell | ₹449.00 | ₹4,490.00 | ₹4,499.00 | -₹9.00 | -0.2% |
| Pomegranate Splash | ₹399.00 | ₹3,990.00 | ₹3,999.00 | -₹9.00 | -0.2% |
Read the fifth column in melts. Ylang Ylang Flower and Pumpkin Spice save ₹590.00 per kilo — 59 paise on every illustrative melt at 10%. Lavender saves ₹179.00; Dark Vanilla ₹254.00. Love Spell and Pomegranate Splash cost ₹9.00 more as a kilo than as ten 100 g bottles. For those two, the kilo is purely a convenience purchase, and that is fine — as long as you know it.
| Pack | Price | Per gram | 10 g melts at 10% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 g | ₹106.20 | ₹7.08/g | 15 |
| 50 g | ₹330.40 | ₹6.61/g | 50 |
| 100 g | ₹590.00 | ₹5.90/g | 100 |
| 500 g | ₹2,714.00 | ₹5.43/g | 500 |
| 1 kg | ₹5,310.00 | ₹5.31/g | 1,000 |
| Pack | Price | Per gram | 10 g melts at 10% |

| 100 g | ₹399.00 | ₹3.99/g | 100 |

When a kilo makes sense
At 10%, a kilo is 1,000 illustrative melts, or about 166 packs of six. Divide that by how many packs of this scent you sell a month and you know how long the kilo sits open. The thresholds in the last column are working judgements, not rules — your storage, cash and confidence in the scent matter too.
| Packs of this scent per month | Melts per month | Months to use a kilo | Working judgement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 60 | 16.67 | Kilo sits too long — stay at 100 g |
| 25 | 150 | 6.67 | Kilo sits too long — stay at 100 g |
| 50 | 300 | 3.33 | Kilo reasonable |
| 100 | 600 | 1.67 | Kilo reasonable |
| 170 | 1,020 | 0.98 | Kilo or a quote |
For several kilos of one oil, or a kilo of each of several oils in one order, the listed packs stop being the whole story. Wholesale Fragrance Oils for Wax Melt Businesses covers how to ask for a quote, and Bulk Fragrance Oils for Wax Melt Manufacturers turns kilos into a production plan per bag of wax.
A one-kilo production run, priced
Here is what one kilo of oil becomes as a finished run: 1,000 illustrative 10 g melts at 10% on Chunks. Wax is bought as one 5 kg bag and four 1 kg bags (9 kg at ₹599.00 a kilo). Containers are shown separately because CSI does not publish their fill weight.
| Line | Honeydew Melon run | Pumpkin Spice run | Pomegranate Splash run |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oil, 1 kg | ₹3,398.40 | ₹5,310.00 | ₹3,999.00 |
| Chunks, 9 kg (5 kg + 4 × 1 kg) | ₹5,391.00 | ₹5,391.00 | ₹5,391.00 |
| Oil + wax | ₹8,789.40 | ₹10,701.00 | ₹9,390.00 |
| Per melt (1,000) | ₹8.79 | ₹10.70 | ₹9.39 |
| Per pack of six (166.67 packs) | ₹52.74 | ₹64.21 | ₹56.34 |
| Containers if six per container (167 × ₹29.50) | ₹4,926.50 | ₹4,926.50 | ₹4,926.50 |
| Same run from ten 100 g bottles | ₹9,745.20 | ₹11,291.00 | ₹9,381.00 |
| Kilo vs ten 100 g | saves ₹955.80 | saves ₹590.00 | costs ₹9.00 more |
The three runs show all three kilo situations. Honeydew Melon's kilo saves ₹955.80 on the run — 96 paise a melt — and makes the cheapest melt of the three at ₹8.79. Pumpkin Spice's saves ₹590.00, or 59 paise a melt. Pomegranate Splash's costs ₹9.00 more than ten 100 g bottles: buy it for convenience, not price. Labour, labels, freight and GST are extra in every case. If you pour at 13% instead of 10% (allowed on Chunks, never above), the same kilo makes 769.23 melts and each melt costs more; Best Fragrance Load for Strong Wax Melts helps you decide whether it is worth it.
Handling a kilo well
A kilo is a bigger commitment than a 100 g bottle, and a little discipline protects it. Decant a working quantity into a smaller, clean, labelled container for daily pours so the main bottle is opened less often. Keep the main bottle sealed, cool and out of direct sunlight. Record the date you opened it and each batch poured from it on your batch sheet, so a question about one batch can be traced to one bottle.
Weigh every pour from the kilo — never tip from the big bottle by eye. At 10% in a 10 g melt, an extra 0.2 g per melt is a 20% overpour, and across a kilo that is 200 g of oil you paid for and did not plan to use. A Candle Making Weighing Scale (₹354.00) pays for itself in the first kilo.
CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished melts. A page about buying a kilo is where a supplier would normally say the kilo is the smart buy. On our listings it usually costs the same per gram as the 100 g, and for two oils here it costs fractionally more. This page names both kinds.
Oil and wax prices are CSI live listings pulled on 24 September 2026; melt containers from the 24–25 September 2026 pull; the weighing scale is Blog 760's figure verified on 10 September 2026. Out-of-stock kilos are flagged. Melts per kilo, wax per kilo, run totals and comparisons are arithmetic on those prices and the load formula, shown to two decimals.
The 10 g melt, six-melt pack and the months-to-use judgements are illustrative working assumptions — CSI does not publish cavity weights, container fill weights or oil shelf lives. The 13% (Chunks) and 10% (CSI 464) ceilings are the wax makers' stated formulation maximums, not regulatory limits.

Non-price figures and assumptions: Load is a percentage of finished melt weight. Melts per kilo = 1,000 g ÷ (10 g × load); wax per kilo of oil = 1 kg × (1 − load) ÷ load. The 10 g melt and six-melt pack are illustrative; CSI does not publish cavity weights, container fill weights or oil shelf lives. One-kilo run: 1 kg oil + 9 kg Chunks bought as 5 kg + 4 × 1 kg; containers at six melts each, 167 needed. Months-to-use thresholds are working judgements. Figures exclude labour, labels, freight and GST. Ceilings: Chunks 13%, CSI 464 10% (wax makers' stated maximums, not regulatory). Diwali 2026 falls on 8 November.
