Candle Business Guides · Dehradun × Soy Pairing
Most soy buying guides tell you a percentage. A percentage does not tell you which bottle to put in the basket. This one converts every stated soy load into grams of oil per kilo of wax, so the fragrance rung you order matches the wax pack you order — and then deals with what a cold Doon valley workroom does to the pour.
5.75 kg
of soy wax dressed by one 500 g bottle at an 8% load — 86.96 g of oil per kilo of wax · one 1 kg bottle dresses 11.5 kg · CSI live pricing, September 2026
Quick answers — read this first
How much oil does soy wax need? At an 8% load calculated on the finished candle, 86.96 g of oil per kilogram of wax. At 10% it is 111.11 g and at 13% it is 149.43 g. That is the number to buy against, because it converts directly into bottles: 500 g covers 5.75 kg of wax at 8%, 1 kg covers 11.5 kg.
Which load may I actually pour? The lower of two stated ceilings — the oil's and the wax's. A 13% oil in CSI 464, which states up to 10%, gives you 10%. The same oil in Luxury Soy Wax Chunks, stated 8–13%, gives you 13%.
Which oils state a soy load? Enough to build a range from. The four picks below publish 8–10%, 6–10% with a 48–72 hour cure, 8–10% in soy wax and 6–10% across soy, beeswax and paraffin respectively. Where a page states nothing, pour at 8% and burn a cured jar.
What is different about pouring soy in Dehradun? The cold months are the busy months. Cold glass and a cold room are the commonest cause of wet spots, rough tops and a slow first melt pool — all fixable with warm jars, a slower pour and a thermometer, none of it a fault in the oil.
The short answer
Buy oil in wax-pack units: at 8%, a 100 g bottle dresses 1.15 kg of wax, a 500 g bottle dresses 5.75 kg and a 1 kg bottle dresses 11.5 kg. Match the rung to the bag and you stop ordering odd quantities of either.
Write the operative load on the recipe sheet, not the ceiling: take the lower of the two stated numbers, subtract nothing, and pour there. Then raise it only after a cured burn test, never because the room smelled quiet on pour day.
Treat a cold room as a variable, not a defect: warm the jar, pour at the top of the stated range, and keep the candle at room temperature while it cures. Almost every winter soy complaint is a temperature story.
One bottle, five different answers. Moving the operative load from 8% to 13% cuts the wax one 500 g bottle can dress from 5.75 kg to 3.35 kg — a 42% swing in how much fragrance a production run needs, decided entirely by two lines on two product pages.
Which fragrance oils work in soy wax, how much do I pour, and which bottle should I order with my wax?
Pour at the lower of the two stated ceilings — the oil page's candle load and the wax page's fragrance load — and then buy the bottle that matches the wax pack rather than the candle. The arithmetic is one line: grams of oil per kilo of wax = load ÷ (100 − load) × 1,000, which gives 86.96 g at 8%, 98.90 g at 9%, 111.11 g at 10% and 149.43 g at 13%. At 8% that makes a 500 g bottle the natural partner for a 5 kg wax pack (434.8 g needed, 65.2 g spare) and a 1 kg bottle the partner for a 10 kg bag (869.6 g needed). Three CSI soy waxes publish their half of the deal: CSI 464 up to 10% with melt and pour stated at 80–90°C, Luxury Soy Wax Chunks at 8–13% with 10% recommended, fragrance in at 80–90°C and a pour at 70–80°C, and Premium Coconut Soy CSI 468 up to 13% with a much lower 58–60°C pour. Eco Soy CSI 400 states no load but does state the method: fragrance at 80–90°C (85°C), stirred for two minutes. On the oil side, Pomegranate Splash states 8–10% in soy, Bergamot Amber 6–10% with a 48–72 hour cure, Solar Bloom 8–10% in soy wax and Gilli Mitti 6–10% across soy, beeswax and paraffin. Where a page is silent, 8% and a burn test.
One line: convert the lower ceiling into grams per kilo of wax, order the bottle that matches your wax pack, and pour into a warm jar if the room is cold.
Building a soy order? CSI 464 5 kg at ₹2,537 plus Pomegranate Splash 500 g at ₹1,999 is a complete, in-stock 36-candle run at 150 g and 8% — with 65 g of oil left over for the next test.
A fragrance load is a percentage. A shopping basket is a list of packs. Somebody has to do the conversion, and it had better be you.
Here is the failure that costs makers the most money, and it has nothing to do with scent. You order a 10 kg bag of soy wax and a 500 g bottle of oil, because 500 g of anything sounds like plenty. At 8% that bag needs 869.6 g. You are 370 g short, which is 30 candles you cannot pour, and by the time you notice, the bottle you were using may not be in stock at the same rung. The reverse also happens: a 1 kg bottle bought against a single 1 kg wax pack leaves 913 g of opened oil sitting on a shelf with no wax to put it in.
The fix is to think in pairs. CSI's soy wax packs come in 1 kg, 5 kg and 10 kg. The fragrance rungs come in 15 g, 50 g, 100 g, 500 g and 1 kg. At an 8% load those two ladders line up almost perfectly — which is a genuinely useful accident and the reason 8% is such a comfortable planning number.

Worked out above: oil per kilo of wax at an 8% load = 8 ÷ 92 × 1,000 = 86.96 g. So 5 kg × 86.96 = 434.78 g and 10 kg × 86.96 = 869.57 g. Candle counts use a 150 g candle at 8% = 138 g of wax + 12 g of oil, so 5,000 ÷ 138 = 36 candles and 10,000 ÷ 138 = 72. Wax packs: CSI 464 1 kg ₹507.40, 5 kg ₹2,537, 10 kg ₹5,074 · Luxury Soy Wax Chunks 1 kg ₹599, 5 kg ₹2,995, 10 kg ₹5,999 · CSI 468 1 kg ₹650, 5 kg ₹3,185, 10 kg ₹6,370 · Eco Soy CSI 400 1 kg ₹399, 5 kg ₹1,996 (5 kg is its largest listed pack).
The mistake: assuming the pairing survives a change of load. It does not, and this is where the neatness of 8% becomes a trap. Move the operative load to 10% and a 5 kg bag needs 555.56 g, so your single 500 g bottle is 56 g short — four candles' worth, discovered at the end of the run. At 13% that same bag needs 747.14 g and you need a 1 kg bottle. Set the load first, then buy. If you are still choosing between 8% and 10%, buy the 500 g and one 100 g top-up rather than committing to the kilo, and read how to make candles smell strong without exceeding the safe fragrance load before you assume the higher number is better.
From per cent to grams per kilo of wax
Percentages are how product pages talk. Grams per kilo of wax is how a production sheet works, because it is the only form of the number you can weigh. The conversion below is the whole of the maths, and it is worth writing on the wall of a workroom.
One caution on conventions. This series calculates load as a share of the finished candle: 150 g at 8% is 138 g of wax plus 12 g of oil. Several product pages phrase their figure as a percentage "of total wax weight" instead, which at the same nominal number means slightly more oil. The difference is small at 6% and meaningful at 13%, so pick one convention, write it at the top of your sheet, and do not switch mid-season.

Weigh the oil into the wax, not the wax into the oil
Whichever load you choose, the order of operations matters on a cold day. Melt and weigh the wax, bring it to the temperature the wax page states, weigh the oil into a separate cup so you can see the figure before it goes in, then add and stir. Pouring oil first and topping up with wax guarantees a different load in every jar of the batch. A weighing scale at ₹354 and a pen thermometer at ₹354 are the two cheapest pieces of equipment that turn a pour into a recipe.
The lower of two ceilings, as a grid
A fragrance load is not a property of the oil. It is an agreement between two products, and the number you may pour is whichever of the two stated figures is smaller. Most arguments about "weak soy candles" come from reading one side of that agreement. The grid below puts four oils with different stated ceilings against four CSI soy waxes and reads off the operative load in each cell.
Four stated oil ceilings × four soy waxes · operative load per cell
The number you may pour, and the grams of oil per kilo of wax it implies
Two things fall out of the grid. First, CSI 464 flattens the top of the range: whatever the oil says, its stated ceiling of 10% is the operative number, which makes it a very predictable wax to cost but caps what a 13% oil can do. Second, the Eco Soy CSI 400 column is not a ceiling at all — it is a planning decision. That page states no maximum load, so 8% is our own conservative floor rather than something the page authorises, and we say so rather than borrowing a figure from another wax. Where a page is blank, your burn test is the specification.
The mistake: treating a wax's ceiling as a target for every oil that goes into it. A stated load describes how much oil that wax will hold without giving it back — as sweating on the top, as a greasy film, or as a flame that will not settle. It says nothing about how much oil this particular fragrance should have, and nothing at all about how strong the candle will smell. Coffee Vanilla Tobacco is a good example: its page states 7–9% for soy and describes strong throw at the low end, so pouring it at 13% in a 13% wax is spending money to make a candle worse. The mechanism is explained in can too much fragrance oil make a candle smell weaker and why more fragrance oil doesn't always mean stronger candles.
Four listings that state a soy load you can pour to
These four listings all state a soy-specific load, which means you can plan a batch from the page rather than from a guess. Each card gives every rung, the price per kilo at each rung, and how many kilos of soy wax that rung dresses at the operative load with CSI 464.
1
States 8–10% in soy · lowest cost per candle here
Pomegranate Splash Fragrance Oil
The cheapest of the four and the one with the most explicit soy statement: "Recommended load – candles 8–10% soy wax". Against CSI 464's stated 10% that gives an operative 10%, so a 500 g bottle dresses 4.5 kg of wax; held at 8% it dresses 5.75 kg. The page also answers the question that matters for a pale range — it describes minimal to no discolouration risk and a base of soft musk and sugar crystals with no vanillin, which it presents as making the oil safe for white, red, pink and vibrant-coloured candles where colour purity matters. Notes are given as pomegranate and red berries over pink apple and light florals. At ₹3,999 a kilo that is ₹47.99 of oil in a 150 g candle at 8%. One caution worth knowing: CSI carries two separate listings using the Pomegranate Splash name, with different ladders and different stated loads — check you are on the one whose price and rungs you costed.
The most complete instruction of the four. Its page states 6–10% for soy wax candles with a 48–72 hour cure, 6–8% for paraffin with a 24–48 hour cure, up to 12% for wax melts, and it tells you where to begin: "Start at 8% for your first batch". A stated starting point is unusually useful, because it removes the one decision most new soy makers get wrong. The five-rung ladder is proportional — ₹5,437 at 1 kg and ₹2,718 at 500 g, a rupee apart from exactly half — so you can test at 15 g for ₹105.02 and scale without a pricing surprise. Notes are sparkling bergamot and citrus over warm amber and soft floral, on woody musk and smooth vanilla; the page states no flash point, so none is quoted here.
A floral-amber with a published soy figure — "8–10% in soy wax" — and, more useful, a published warning: the page states that Solar Bloom contains vanilla and amber, which may cause warm golden or cream toning in white or light-coloured wax over time. That is not a defect notice, it is a colour-planning instruction, and it is exactly the kind of sentence that should decide whether a scent goes into your white range or your cream range. Full five-rung ladder from 15 g at ₹125 to 1 kg at ₹7,499, priced proportionally throughout. At 8% in a 150 g candle the oil line is ₹89.99, which puts it at the premium end of a soy range rather than the workhorse end — cost it accordingly.

Gilli Mitti (Patchouli)
A petrichor and earthy-patchouli profile — fresh rain and soft soil over earthy patchouli, on damp woods and light musk — and a page that states a 6–10% fragrance load across all wax types and names soy wax, beeswax, paraffin and soap as compatible. For a maker in a valley that spends a long stretch of the year wet, a rain-and-earth scent is not a novelty; it is the one that sells to people who already know that smell. It is the dearest of the four at ₹8,960 a kilo, ₹107.52 of oil in a 150 g candle at 8%, so it belongs in a small, well-presented format rather than a volume line. One CSI customer, Renu, ordered it alongside soy wax and a thermometer and called the scent "amazing and authentic". A fuller listing walk-through is in our Gilli Mitti patchouli buyer's guide.

A 5 kg batch, costed four ways
Now put the pairing to work. One 5 kg pack of CSI 464 at ₹2,537 makes 36 candles of 150 g at an 8% load and needs 432 g of oil — one 500 g bottle, with 68 g spare for a test jar and a top-up. The table below runs that identical batch with each of the four oils above, so the only thing changing is the fragrance line.
One 5 kg wax pack + one 500 g bottle · 36 candles of 150 g at 8%
Wax and oil only — where the fragrance choice lands in a batch
The spread from the cheapest to the dearest batch is ₹2,481 across 36 candles, or ₹68.92 a candle — before a jar, a wick, a lid or a label has been added. That is the single largest lever in a soy candle's cost, and it is why the fragrance decision should be made against a finished, cured, burned sample rather than a sniff of the bottle. Add the jar and the wick and a 150 g candle in a Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid (₹94.40 each in the pack of 10, page states a 150 g fill and a hot pour safe to 85°C) with an Eco Candle Wick Thin C1 at ₹5.90 comes to ₹226.30 of materials on Pomegranate Splash and ₹295.22 on Gilli Mitti.
The CSI principle
Buy fragrance in units of wax, not in units of optimism.
A 500 g bottle is not "a lot of oil" — it is 5.75 kg of soy wax at 8%, or 4.5 kg at 10%, and nothing else. Once you order in those units the mismatches stop, the leftovers stop, and the season stops surprising you.
Pouring soy in a Doon valley winter
Here is what makes soy in Dehradun different from soy in a hot plains city. The months when candles actually sell — from Diwali through Christmas, New Year and the wedding weeks — are also the months when your workroom is cold, your glass is cold and your wax sets faster than the instructions assume. None of that is a fault in the wax or the oil. All of it is temperature, and all of it shows up on the surface of the candle about a fortnight later.
The behaviours below are ordinary material behaviour that any maker can reproduce and check with a thermometer; no temperature or humidity figure for the city is claimed here, and the adjustments are standard practice rather than a promise about results.

Pour in smaller lots, or keep the melt held at temperature — one CSI customer in a cold region describes exactly this problem being solved by a 1 litre electric melter at ₹2,360
A slow first melt pool and a quiet hot throw
A cold room takes longer to warm a candle's surface; the candle is behaving normally for the conditions
Burn-test in the room temperature your customer will actually use, not next to a heater, and judge the wick against that. See wrong wick size is killing your hot throw
Labels lifting and cartons going soft in the wet months
Humid air and condensation on glass that is cooler than the room
Let jars reach room temperature before labelling, wipe and dry them, and keep stock cartons off a concrete floor
Log the room, not just the wax
Add one column to your pour sheet: the room temperature at the moment you poured. It costs nothing and it is the variable that explains most of the differences between two batches of the same recipe in a valley with real winters. Three months later, when a customer asks why the December candle behaved differently from the September one, you will have the answer written down. The wax pages give you the rest of the numbers to log: Luxury Soy Wax Chunks state fragrance in at 80–90°C and a pour at 70–80°C, CSI 468 states a 50–53°C melt and a 58–60°C pour, and Eco Soy CSI 400 asks for fragrance at 80–90°C (85°C) with a two-minute stir.
One order, both halves: CSI 464 10 kg at ₹5,074 takes 869.6 g of oil at 8% — one 1 kg bottle — and makes 72 candles of 150 g. Above a kilo of any single scent, the quantity is quoted on WhatsApp rather than listed.
Soy is a patient wax and that is the one thing a festive deadline cannot negotiate with. Diwali 2026 falls on 8 November. Work backwards through the cure and the order date writes itself.
1
Fix the operative load before you open a browser tabPick the wax, read its stated ceiling, read the oil's, take the lower, and write the grams-per-kilo figure on the sheet: 86.96 at 8%, 111.11 at 10%. Every quantity below depends on that one number, and changing it later changes the order.
2
Buy one 100 g bottle of each shortlisted scent and pour seven jarsA 100 g bottle dresses 1.15 kg of wax at 8% — seven 150 g candles. That is enough to run one scent against two wick sizes and keep a spare. Pomegranate Splash 100 g is ₹399, Bergamot Amber ₹560, Solar Bloom ₹749, Gilli Mitti ₹896.
3
Cure for the full window, with the lids onBergamot Amber's page asks for 48–72 hours on soy. The Luxury Soy Wax Chunks page asks for a minimum of 48 hours and ideally one to two weeks before burn testing. For a candle you intend to sell, take the longer figure — and in a cool room keep the jars somewhere with a steady temperature rather than beside an outside wall. Why a candle needs a 14-day cure sets out the reasoning.
4
Burn the cured jar at the temperature your buyer will burn itScore time to a full melt pool, flame behaviour, soot and throw at 30 and 120 minutes. In a cold room expect the pool to take longer than the same candle would in a warm one; that is the wick decision you actually need, not the one a heated room would give you.
5
Convert the season's candle count into wax packs, then into bottlesThree hundred candles of 150 g is 41.4 kg of wax and 3.6 kg of oil at 8%. That is four 10 kg packs plus two 1 kg packs, and four 1 kg bottles split across your scents — and it is the point at which a WhatsApp quote is worth asking for, because 1 kg is the largest fragrance pack CSI lists.
6
Place the order with the cure inside the runway, not outside itCount back from 8 November: two weeks of cure, a week of pouring and finishing for a run of that size, and time in transit. An order placed in the last week of October is an order you will be pouring in a hurry. How early candle brands should order for Diwali has the longer version.
The wax takes exactly the oil that the smaller of two numbers allows. In a cold room it also keeps a record of every minute you hurried.

Why trust this guide
CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles, and has no shop, counter, stockist or warehouse in Dehradun. We ship across India and take bulk orders on WhatsApp — that is the whole of what we can honestly say about getting these oils to the Doon valley. What we can do is stop you buying a bottle that does not match your wax bag, which is why this page is built around grams per kilo of wax rather than around adjectives about throw.
Every price and pack on this page is live CSI stock in September 2026 and links to the product page, where current pricing always takes precedence. Stated loads, cure times, temperatures and discolouration notes are quoted only where the product page states them: Pomegranate Splash 8–10% soy and minimal-to-no discolouration risk; Bergamot Amber 6–10% soy with a 48–72 hour cure and a stated 8% starting point; Solar Bloom 8–10% in soy with a stated vanilla-and-amber toning warning; Gilli Mitti 6–10% across wax types; Coffee Vanilla Tobacco 7–9% soy; Autumn 7–11% for candles; Japanese Cherry Blossom 6–13% for candles; CSI 464 up to 10% with melt and pour stated at 80–90°C; Luxury Soy Wax Chunks 8–13% with 10% recommended; CSI 468 up to 13%, melt 50–53°C, pour 58–60°C; Eco Soy CSI 400 fragrance at 80–90°C (85°C) with a two-minute stir and no stated load. None of these pages states a flash point except where noted, none states a shelf life or a storage instruction, and no IFRA certificate, category or document number exists on any of them — IFRA and SDS documentation is supplied on request through WhatsApp, not published on the listing.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams of oil go into a kilogram of soy wax?
At an 8% load calculated on the finished candle, 86.96 g. At 9% it is 98.90 g, at 10% 111.11 g, at 11% 123.60 g and at 13% 149.43 g. The formula is load ÷ (100 − load) × 1,000. Turn that into bottles and a 100 g rung dresses 1.15 kg of wax at 8%, a 500 g rung 5.75 kg, and a 1 kg rung 11.5 kg. If your pages phrase load as a percentage of total wax weight instead, the figure rises slightly — pick one convention and stay with it.
Which CSI oils state a soy load I can pour to?
The ones whose pages state a soy load, because you can plan a batch from them. Pomegranate Splash states 8–10% in soy, Bergamot Amber 6–10% with a 48–72 hour cure and a stated 8% start, Solar Bloom 8–10% in soy wax, and Gilli Mitti 6–10% across soy, beeswax and paraffin. A stated load is not a promise about throw — it is a promise about how much oil the wax will hold. Your own cured burn test is still the specification.
Whose number sets my load — the oil's or the wax's?
The lower of the two stated ceilings on the oil page and the wax page. CSI 464 states up to 10%, so 10% is the operative figure whatever the oil says. Luxury Soy Wax Chunks state 8–13% with 10% recommended, so a 13% oil can go to 13% there. Where either page states nothing — Eco Soy CSI 400 publishes no maximum — 8% is a sensible planning floor, and it is our choice rather than the page's instruction.
Why do my soy candles get cloudy patches against the glass in winter?
Almost always cold glass. Wax poured into a cool jar chills where it touches the wall and pulls away from it, leaving what looks like a cloudy patch. Warm the empty jars first — a hot air gun at ₹531 is enough — pour at the top of the temperature range your wax page states, and let the jars cool slowly at room temperature rather than on a cold floor. The mechanism is set out in why candles get wet spots and sinkholes.
Which of these four oils will tint pale soy wax?
Some will, and the pages are unusually good about saying so. Pomegranate Splash describes minimal to no discolouration risk with no vanillin in the base. Solar Bloom states that its vanilla and amber content may cause warm golden or cream toning in white or light-coloured wax over time. Read that line before you commit a scent to a white range, and where a page says nothing about vanillin, pour a white test jar and leave it in daylight for a fortnight.
Can the wax and the oil go in one order to Dehradun?
Yes — it is one order on one store, and CSI ships across India. There is no Dehradun branch, dealer or collection point, and we do not publish delivery times, courier names or shipping rates, so this page will not either. What we can tell you is what to put in the basket: a 5 kg wax pack with one 500 g bottle at 8%, or a 10 kg pack with one 1 kg bottle. For more than a kilo of a single scent, send your quantities to the WhatsApp bulk line for a quote.

Other items — Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid (150 gram) pack of 10 ₹944 (₹94.40 each; page states 150 g fill capacity and hot pour safe to 85°C), Eco Candle Wicks Thin C1 10 for ₹59 (₹5.90 each), Candle Making Weighing Scale ₹354, Pen Thermometer ₹354, Hot Air Gun ₹531, Mini Electric Wax/Soap Melter 1 litre ₹2,360. Load arithmetic: load treated as a share of the finished candle, so oil per kilo of wax = load ÷ (100 − load) × 1,000 — 63.83 g at 6%, 75.27 g at 7%, 86.96 g at 8%, 98.90 g at 9%, 111.11 g at 10%, 123.60 g at 11%, 149.43 g at 13%; a 150 g candle at 8% is 138 g of wax and 12 g of oil. Batch figures: 5 kg of CSI 464 ÷ 138 g = 36 candles needing 432 g of oil; 10 kg ÷ 138 g = 72 candles needing 864 g; 5 kg at 8% requires 434.78 g and at 10% requires 555.56 g. Batch totals are wax plus one 500 g bottle only — ₹2,537 + ₹1,999 = ₹4,536 (₹126 a candle), + ₹2,718 = ₹5,255 (₹145.97), + ₹3,749 = ₹6,286 (₹174.61), + ₹4,480 = ₹7,017 (₹194.92). Stated page fields are quoted verbatim in substance and nothing is inferred: where a page states no load, no flash point or no discolouration note, this guide says so and the 8% planning floor is CSI's own conservative choice. No fragrance page in the range states a shelf life, a storage instruction, an IFRA certificate number or a lab result, and none is claimed here. CSI carries two separate listings using the Pomegranate Splash name with different ladders and different stated loads; the one costed here is the four-rung listing at ₹3,999 a kilo. Diwali 2026 is 8 November 2026. Cold-room behaviours are general material behaviour a maker can verify; no temperature or humidity figure for Dehradun is claimed. One kilogram is the largest fragrance pack listed — larger quantities are quoted on WhatsApp, never stated here. Prices and availability change — the linked product pages are always authoritative.
