Wholesale Wax for Wax Melt Businesses
Share
How much fragrance in wax melts? Several CSI oils state 10–15% for melts; test at 10%.
Hard or soft wax for melts? In between — firm enough to release and ship.
Does CSI sell a melt wax? No dedicated one; several waxes in the range work.
Wax melts are small, so wax cost per unit is tiny. The fragrance oil is the expensive part. This page prices both per melt.
Which CSI waxes work for melts
| Wax | Strength | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Soy Pillar Wax | Firmer soy; releases from moulds | No load published — test at 8–10% |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | Stated 13% load | Soft — may stick in clamshells |
| Container soy + 3–5% microcrystalline | Firmer set, keeps soy character | Extra step |
| Paraffin | Hard, strong throw, releases cleanly | Not natural |
| Soy Butter Wax | Creamy blend with beeswax | Only to 1 kg |
Melt maths
| Run | Wax (90%) | Oil (10%) | Wax cost (Pillar Wax) | Oil cost (Lavender) | Per cube |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 cubes of 8 g | 0.72 kg | 0.08 kg | ₹432.00 | ₹417.68 | ₹8.50 |
| 500 cubes of 8 g | 3.60 kg | 0.40 kg | ₹2,160.00 | ₹2,088.40 | ₹8.50 |
| 1,000 cubes of 8 g | 7.20 kg | 0.80 kg | ₹4,320.00 | ₹4,176.80 | ₹8.50 |
Why the oil bottle, not the wax bag, sets your melt price
Trade buyers instinctively chase the cheapest wax per kilogram. In melts, that is the smaller lever. The oil costs several times more per kilogram than any wax on the list, and at melt loads you use a lot of it. Your wholesale margin is decided at the fragrance shelf.
The swing between oils
Compare 1 kg bottles. Citrus Lemon is ₹2,832.00, Jasmine ₹3,923.00, Lavender ₹5,221.00 and Dark Vanilla ₹7,646.00. The most expensive of those costs well over twice the cheapest. Now compare waxes: Soy Pillar Wax is ₹600.00 per kilogram and Luxury Soy Wax Chunks ₹599.00. The gap between those two waxes is a single rupee. Choosing one oil over another moves your cost per melt far more than any wax decision will.
That does not mean selling only cheap scents. It means pricing each scent on its own, rather than one price for the whole range, or accepting a thinner margin on your dearest oils.
Buy oil in the size that fits your sales
Lavender's 1 kg bottle at ₹5,221.00 costs less than ten 100 g bottles at ₹540.00 each would. Move a scent to 1 kg once it has proved it sells, and keep new or slow scents in 100 g bottles until they do.
Wax: small savings, read carefully
On Luxury Soy Wax Chunks, the 500 g pack is cheapest per kilogram at ₹598.00, and the 10 kg bag at ₹5,999.00 costs ₹9 more than two 5 kg bags. Tiny amounts, but a wholesale buyer should know them. Natural Soy Pearl Wax drops to ₹424.80 per kilogram at 5 kg and above and is the only wax with a 50 kg pack, but it is a container wax and publishes no fragrance load. Trial it for melts before letting the price decide.
Price bands for trade customers
If you sell to shops, band your scents by oil cost and quote a price per band. It is simpler for buyers and protects you from selling a Dark Vanilla melt at a Citrus Lemon price.

CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. We publish every pack price, so every per-kilogram and per-candle figure here can be checked against the product pages — including the ones that show a bigger bag is not cheaper.
Prices are taken from live CSI stock in September 2026. Where a product page does not publish a specification, this guide says so rather than filling the gap.

Assumptions: Fragrance load 8% of total candle weight, so wax is 92% of the fill (a 200 g candle = 184 g wax + 16 g oil). Order plans add a 5% wastage allowance (10% where stated for festive buffers). "Cheapest listed packs" is the lowest-cost combination of listed pack sizes, preferring fewer bags when prices tie within a few rupees. Candle counts are rounded down. Costs are core materials only and exclude jar, label, packaging, labour, freight and GST unless stated. Wax stated fragrance maximums are the wax maker's formulation limits, not regulatory limits. Pack sizes not listed on the store (2, 20, 25, 100 kg) are shown as combinations of listed packs; larger quantities are quoted on WhatsApp. Diwali 2026 falls on 8 November.
