Buy Fragrance Oils for Paraffin Wax Candles in India

Buy in three stages, not one

Buying for paraffin candles works best as three separate decisions. At the test stage, you are paying to learn, so buy the smallest size that pours a real candle. At the production stage, you are paying for oil that goes into candles you sell, so buy the size where the per-gram price levels out. At the restock stage, you are buying security, so buy the size that stops you running out in the middle of a season. The sizes that suit each stage are different, and so is the amount of paraffin each one implies.

The per-gram column is the important one. Across the collection, the 15 g carries a median premium of 23.1% per gram over the same oil's 100 g. Between 50 g and 100 g the median difference is zero. Between 100 g and 1 kg, 52 of the 91 oils listing both sizes are within 1%. So the only size step that reliably saves money is from the tester up to 50 g or 100 g. Above that, you buy bigger for convenience and stock security, not for a lower rate. The oils where 1 kg does save are named in Buy 1 Kg Fragrance Oil for Paraffin Candle Making.

Match every oil pack to its paraffin

Every bottle of oil you buy implies a quantity of wax. At an 8% test load in a 200 g candle, the candle holds 16 g of oil and 184 g of wax, a ratio of 11.5 g of wax for every gram of oil. The table converts each oil pack into candles and wax, adds a 4% working allowance for pour loss and test burns, and rounds up to the paraffin pellet packs CSI lists. The load is a test value, not a paraffin specification.

Two things are worth noticing. The 500 g and 1 kg paraffin packs cost the same per gram (₹0.354), so there is no penalty for buying in half-kilos, and no saving for buying in whole ones. And paraffin pellets are listed only up to 1 kg per pack. At the restock stage, one 1 kg bottle of oil implies twelve 1 kg packs of wax. You can buy that many from the store at the listed price, or ask on WhatsApp whether a larger paraffin quantity can be quoted. No bulk discount figure is published, so do not assume one.

Other waxes change the matching too. If you blend in the Microcrystalline Wax Slab (₹149.00 for 500 g, ₹299.00 for 1 kg), weigh the blend as your wax total. Blend ratios are not published in this data, so treat any ratio as your own test. The Semi Refined Paraffin Wax at ₹220.00 had only one unit in stock on the pull date, so do not build a matched order around it.

Three priced baskets

The three baskets below correspond to the three stages. Each uses different oils, so you can see a range of price points. Jars are White Matte Glass Jars at ₹354.00 for five, and wicks are Eco Candle Wicks Thin C1 at ₹5.90 each. Wick sizing for a given jar is not published in this data, so confirm your wick with a burn test before the production basket.

Basket A pours five 200 g test candles at 7.5% (15 g oil + 185 g wax each), using 925 g of the kilo of paraffin. The oils cost ₹482.96 together, with Eucalyptus Spearmint the cheapest 15 g in the whole collection at ₹68.44. Five jars and ten wicks leave you spare wicks for a second pour.

Three 100 g bottles give 300 g of oil, enough for 18 candles at 16 g with 12 g spare. The paraffin allowance is 18 × 184 g plus 4%, or 3,444.5 g, rounded up to 3.5 kg. Two jars are spare. The per-candle figure includes the spare jars and wax, which is why it is higher than the pure recipe cost. Recipe cost alone, with oil at 100 g rates, is ₹210.64 for Jasmine, ₹202.25 for Fresh Strawberries and ₹202.64 for Orchard Pear.

Basket C uses the 500 g size because both oils show a real step there. Mango Coconut drops from ₹5.00 a gram at 100 g to ₹3.96 at 500 g, and Eucalyptus Spearmint from ₹3.54 to ₹3.30. Most oils do not behave like this, so check each oil's own ladder. The wax line is twelve 1 kg packs at the listed price; if you want paraffin in larger units, ask on WhatsApp.

What to check before you click buy

Product pages change, and the listing on the day you order is the one that counts. Before you place a paraffin order, run through the checks below on each oil's page and on the wax page. They take a few minutes and avoid most of the order problems makers run into.

Paperwork, payment and repeat orders

A business buyer needs more than the product. CSI provides GST invoicing, and MSDS and IFRA documentation on request through WhatsApp at +91 7397976926. Ask for them at the time of ordering, and keep one set per oil in your records. Retailers and corporate gifting clients increasingly ask to see them, and it is easier to have them on file than to chase them when a buyer is waiting.

For repeat orders, keep a simple sheet: oil, size, price paid, date and the number of candles it poured. After two or three orders you will know each scent's real consumption rate, and that tells you when the 500 g or 1 kg becomes the sensible size. For volumes beyond the listed packs, Wholesale Fragrance Oils for Paraffin Candle Manufacturers explains how the WhatsApp quote route works and what to include in your message. If you are planning a whole range, the paraffin oil shortlist is the place to choose scents before you buy. Once you are producing, Bulk Fragrance Oils for Commercial Paraffin Candles covers holding stock and Fragrance Oil for Paraffin Wax Commercial Production costs a full production run.

If your paraffin candles are going into moulds rather than jars, the matching arithmetic is the same but the candle weight depends on your mould. Weigh one filled cavity or mould before you order, and read Buy Fragrance Oils for Pillar Candle Making for pillar buying. For a larger container range, Buy Fragrance Oils for Jar Candle Making in India covers jar candle buying in general.
