Where to Buy Fragrance Oils for Commercial Tealight and Votive Production
Share
Can I buy everything for votives from CSI? Yes. Oil, wax, wicks and four containers are listed — black votive glass, mini jars, the Velvet heart jar (50 g) and the golden tin (85 g). Buy Fragrance Oils for Votive Candle Making has full shopping lists.
What does a monthly commercial order cost? For 2,000 tealights and 340 votives: ₹60,035.20 in listed materials with Luxury Soy Wax Chunks, or ₹51,749.20 with Natural Soy Pearl Wax — before tealight cups and wicks. See the priced order.
What should I check before choosing a supplier? Coverage of every component, stock depth on your sizes, per-gram pricing (not bottle price), consistency between batches, and GST invoice, MSDS and IFRA certificates. See the checklist.
What CSI covers, format by format
A commercial small-candle line needs the same five categories for both formats: fragrance oil, wax, wick, container, and the paperwork that lets you sell to retailers and gifting clients. The table maps what CSI's catalogue listed on the pull date against each, for tealights and votives separately. Where a component is not listed, the table says so, and the answer is to ask — not to assume.
| Component | Tealights | Votives | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fragrance oil | Yes — 93 listed, 86 with stock | Same oils | 15 g to 1 kg; beyond on WhatsApp |
| Wax | Yes — container soy, soy pearl, paraffin, coconut soy | Same waxes | To 10 kg; soy pearl to 50 kg |
| Container | No tealight cups listed | Yes — votive glass, mini jars, Velvet heart jar, golden tin | Ask about tealight cups |
| Wick | No tealight wicks listed | Eco, cotton braided and wooden wicks listed (sizing not published) | Ask about tealight wicks |
| Dye and mica | Liquid dyes, chips and mica listed (green and yellow liquid out of stock) | Same | Dose per kg not published — follow the product page |
| Scale and thermometer | Yes — ₹354.00 each | Same | Verified 10 September 2026 |
| GST invoice, MSDS, IFRA | On request | On request | Ask with the order on WhatsApp |
The votive column is complete. The tealight column has two gaps, and they are structural: without a cup and a wick, the oil and wax cannot become a tealight. That is why we have said it on every tealight page in this cluster. If CSI can supply them, one order covers the whole line; if not, you will be working with two suppliers, and your production calendar has to allow for both. What to check before buying all your candle raw materials from one supplier covers the wider version of this question.
The supplier checklist
Whether you buy from CSI or anyone else, these are the questions that separate a supplier you can build a production line on from one you can buy a bottle from. The third column is how CSI answers each on its listed catalogue, stated plainly, including where it falls short.
| Check | Why it matters for small candles | CSI on the pull date |
|---|---|---|
| Covers every component? | A tealight needs a cup and wick; a gap stops production | Votives yes; tealight cups and wicks not listed |
| Stock depth on your sizes? | A kilo you cannot reorder in October is not a supply | 73 oils in stock at 1 kg; some sizes out (e.g. Vetiver 1 kg) |
| Per-gram price, not bottle price? | Small candles use grams; compare like with like | Listed per size; most oils flat above 100 g |
| Real volume breaks? | Tells you which oils reward volume | 24 oils save 5%+ at 1 kg; wax break only on soy pearl |
| Published wax ceilings? | Sets your safe load range | Chunks 13%, CSI 464 10%; others not in our data |
| Published container fills? | Oil orders depend on fill | Velvet heart 50 g, golden tin 85 g; others not published |
| GST invoice? | Needed for input credit and B2B sales | Yes |
| MSDS and IFRA certificates? | Retail and corporate buyers ask | On request over WhatsApp |
| Volume terms published? | Planning needs numbers | No — MOQ, discount and delivery time are quoted, not published |
Two rows deserve a second look. Stock depth: a supplier's catalogue is a snapshot, and on the pull date several sizes were out of stock and one wax, Semi Refined Paraffin Wax, had a single unit left. Plan production around items with depth, and ask for restock dates on anything thin. Volume terms: CSI publishes no minimum order, discount percentage, free-shipping threshold or delivery time, and neither does this page. A supplier who will not put those in a quote is harder to plan around than one who will — so ask for them in writing on WhatsApp.
A month's order, priced
The scenario: 2,000 tealights at an illustrative 12 g (1,000 in Blue Ocean, 1,000 in British Rose), 240 golden tins at their published 85 g fill in Saffron Cedarwood, and 100 black mini jars at an illustrative 50 g in British Rose. Load is 8% throughout, with a 5% allowance on oil and wax as a working assumption. Each line is the cheapest practical combination of listed packs.
| Line | Need | Order | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue Ocean oil (1,000 tealights) | 1,008 g | 1 × 1 kg + 1 × 100 g | ₹5,451.00 |
| British Rose oil (1,000 tealights + 100 mini jars) | 1,428 g | 1 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g | ₹4,661.00 |
| Saffron Cedarwood oil (240 tins) | 1,713.6 g | 3 × 500 g + 3 × 100 g | ₹9,841.20 |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks (all pieces) | 47.72 kg | 9 × 5 kg + 3 × 1 kg | ₹28,752.00 |
| Eco Candle Wicks Thin C1 (votives only) | 340 wicks | 3 × pack of 100 + 2 × pack of 20 | ₹2,006.00 |
| Golden Aluminium Tins | 240 tins | 20 × pack of 12 | ₹7,200.00 |
| Mini Glass Jars, Black | 100 jars | 1 × pack of 100 | ₹2,124.00 |
| Tealight cups | 2,000 | Not listed — ask CSI | — |
| Tealight wicks | 2,000 | Not listed — ask CSI | — |
| Listed materials total | ₹60,035.20 |
Swap the Chunks for Natural Soy Pearl Wax (4 × 10 kg + 1 × 5 kg + 3 × 1 kg, ₹20,466.00) and the total falls to ₹51,749.20. That is the one wax in the range with a bulk break, but no fragrance ceiling for it is in our data — ask CSI on WhatsApp for the wax maker's stated maximum and test your 8% pour in your cups and tins before switching a production line. The Chunks are rated up to 13%, so an 8% load sits comfortably inside.
Two lines in the order need an explanation. Blue Ocean is bought as a kilo plus a 100 g, although eleven 100 g bottles would be ₹6.00 cheaper — its 1 kg is fractionally dearer per gram than its 100 g. Buy whichever you prefer to store; the difference is a few rupees. And Saffron Cedarwood is bought in 500 g packs, because its 500 g is ₹5.17 a gram against ₹6.87 for the 1 kg. The next section explains why that is worth checking before you reorder.
Listing quirks worth checking
Every catalogue has prices that do not follow the pattern. On CSI's, some favour the buyer and some look like listing errors. A commercial buyer should know both kinds, because a reorder built on the wrong assumption costs real money. These are from the pull on 24–25 September 2026.
| Item | What the listing shows | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Saffron Cedarwood | 500 g ₹2,584.20 (₹5.17/g); 1 kg ₹6,867.60 (₹6.87/g) | Buy 500 g packs; ask whether the 500 g price will hold |
| Saffron Cedarwood | 50 g ₹354.00 (₹7.08/g) dearer per gram than 15 g (₹6.92/g) | Test in 15 g |
| Blue Ocean | 1 kg ₹4.96/g vs 100 g ₹4.95/g | Buy by storage preference; no saving either way |
| Mini Glass Jars, Golden | 25-pack ₹1,180.00 (₹47.20/jar) vs 5-pack ₹129.80 (₹25.96/jar) | Ask CSI to confirm before ordering the 25-pack |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | 10 kg ₹599.90/kg vs 5 kg ₹599.00/kg | 5 kg bags are marginally cheaper |
| Candle Dye Liquid Brown | 100 g listed at ₹236.00, same as 15 g | Looks like a listing error — do not rely on it; ask |
| Semi Refined Paraffin Wax | 1 unit in stock | Treat as unavailable for production |
None of these is a reason to avoid a supplier; every catalogue has them. They are reasons to price each reorder from the live product page rather than from last month's invoice, and to ask on WhatsApp when a price looks too good or too bad. For the oils whose bulk savings are real and consistent, wholesale fragrance oils for tealight manufacturers lists them with per-1,000-tealight figures.

CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. A sourcing page from a supplier should say where the supplier falls short. Ours does: tealight cups and tealight wicks were not in our catalogue on the pull date, several sizes were out of stock, and some listed prices look like errors. The page names each one.
Oil and wax prices are CSI live pricing pulled on 24 September 2026; container, dye and wick listings were checked on 24–25 September 2026; the scale and thermometer were verified on 10 September 2026 for Blog 760. Order totals are the cheapest practical combination of listed packs, computed rather than estimated.
The monthly scenario, 12 g tealight fill, 50 g mini-jar fill, 8% load and 5% allowance are working assumptions. No MOQ, discount, delivery time or free-shipping threshold is published.
