Wholesale Fragrance Oils for Coconut Soy Candle Brands

What wholesale means at CSI

CSI's listed catalogue is the wholesale catalogue for most small and mid-sized brands. Oils come in up to five sizes, from 15 g to 1 kg; Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 comes in 500 g, 1 kg, 5 kg and 10 kg bags. There is no stated minimum order, so the smallest listed size of each oil is effectively the minimum. Above the listed packs — several kilos of one oil, or a mixed monthly order — prices are quoted on WhatsApp, and no discount figure is published. We will not invent one here.

That second-last row matters for brands more than for hobbyists. Seven oils have no size in stock on the pull date, and several others are missing a size — for example, Vetiver's 1 kg, Freshwater's 500 g and 1 kg, and Roasted Coconut, which does not list a 500 g at all. A brand scent that cannot be restocked is a product you have to withdraw. Check the stock line for every scent before it goes on a label.

Which oils really get cheaper

The single most useful fact for a brand's buying plan is which oils have a real kilo break. On the listed catalogue it is a minority. Here is the break profile of the six-scent range used on this page — chosen to show both kinds.

Four of the six save roughly a fifth by the kilo, which is unusual across the catalogue. Jasmine saves 8.8%. Lavender Cranberry Coconut is priced flat, and its kilo costs fractionally more per gram than its 100 g (₹7.99/g against ₹8.00/g). For that oil, the kilo is purely about stock: do not buy it expecting a saving. The broader pattern across all 91 oils that list both sizes is 52 within 1%, 24 saving 5% or more, and a few, such as Love Spell, Pomegranate Splash and Dahlia, fractionally dearer at the kilo.

A monthly plan for a six-scent brand

The plan below assumes 300 candles of 200 g a month at an 8% costing load — the midpoint of a test ladder, since no coconut-wax ceiling is published in our data. The split between scents is illustrative. Each scent's need includes a 4% allowance for pour loss and test burns, a working assumption. The pack mix is the cheapest combination of in-stock listed packs that covers the need, using 100 g and larger packs plus at most one 50 g top-up.

Bought the naive way — every scent in 100 g bottles — the same month would cost ₹27,134.20 in oil, so choosing packs by break saves ₹3,162.40 a month on this range. Nearly all of that comes from the four oils with a real kilo break. The wax is simpler: 300 candles need 55,200 g of CSI 468, or 57,408 g with the allowance, which is six 10 kg bags at ₹38,220.00, leaving about 2,592 g in hand.

Per candle that is ₹217.14 of oil, wax and wick — jar, labour, packaging, freight and GST excluded, and wicks for 200 more candles in hand. At this volume, a brand is still well within the listed packs; the kilo sizes cover every scent. The case for a WhatsApp quote starts when one scent needs several kilos at once, or when you want a single mixed order priced as a whole. The bulk manufacturing guide takes the same maths to a 1,000-candle run.

Where the kilo starts to pay

Even for oils with a real break, the kilo only wins once your need passes a certain weight. Below it, a handful of 100 g bottles costs less than the kilo you would only half use. The point is easy to work out: count how many 100 g bottles cost as much as the kilo.

So a brand that needs 665 g of Roasted Coconut in a month is better off with seven 100 g bottles (₹3,465.00) than the kilo (₹3,999.00), even though the kilo is 19.2% cheaper per gram, unless the other 335 g will be used next month anyway. If it will, the kilo is the better buy and it doubles as stock cover. That is a judgement about your sales, not about our prices.

Running the supply like a brand

A brand's fragrance supply fails in predictable ways: an out-of-stock hero scent, a load nobody wrote down, a gifting client asking for an IFRA certificate you do not have. The steps below prevent most of them.
