Eight CSI soy and soy-blend grades ranked by the job they do, priced from live stock — with one clear answer for most makers.
₹507.40/kg
Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464, best for most makers · up to 10% fragrance load · CSI live pricing, September 2026
Quick answers — read this first
Which soy wax is best for most candle makers in India? Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 at ₹507.40/kg: 100% soy flakes for single-pour containers, a published ceiling of up to 10% fragrance, and the same per-kilo price from 1 kg to 10 kg.

Which CSI soy wax holds the most fragrance? Luxury Soy Wax Chunks and CSI 468 both publish up to 13% of wax weight. Most CSI oil pages stop at 10% for soy, and the lower figure governs.

Which is the cheapest soy wax? Eco Soy CSI 400 at ₹399.00/kg, produced in India — but its fragrance ceiling is not published, so confirm it before loading heavily.

Which soy wax for pillars or dessert candles? Soy Pillar Wax at ₹600.00/kg for pillars and moulds; Soy Butter Wax at ₹1,097.40/kg for whipped toppings. Neither belongs in a jar candle.
The short answer
Best for most makers: CSI 464 — ₹507.40/kg, up to 10%, ₹101.48 of wax per 200 g candle.
When your oil allows more than 10%: Chunks (₹599.00/kg, 13%, full method) or CSI 468 (₹650.00/kg, 13%, pour 58–60°C).
Not a jar candle: Soy Pillar Wax for pillars, Soy Butter Wax for dessert toppings. Premium Coconut Soy Wax and Natural Soy Pearl publish no working figures.

Straight answer
Which soy wax is best for candle making in India?
For most Indian makers pouring scented jar, tin or ceramic candles, the best CSI soy wax is Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 at ₹507.40/kg: 100% soy flakes sold for single-pour containers, a published ceiling of up to 10% fragrance, a flat per-kilo price from 1 kg to 10 kg and the deepest stock of the container soy grades. Step up to Luxury Soy Wax Chunks (₹599.00/kg, up to 13%, the fullest published method) only when your oil’s own page allows more than 10%, because most CSI oil pages stop at 10% for soy and the lower figure governs. Choose Premium Coconut Soy CSI 468 (₹650.00/kg, ₹637.00/kg at 5 kg; 13%; pour 58–60°C) for a coconut-soy blend with published specs. Eco Soy CSI 400 is cheapest at ₹399.00/kg but publishes no fragrance ceiling. Pillars need Soy Pillar Wax (₹600.00/kg) and dessert toppings Soy Butter Wax (₹1,097.40/kg). Premium Coconut Soy Wax (₹920.00/kg) and Natural Soy Pearl Wax (from ₹424.80/kg) publish no working figures, so they rank below the grades that do.
One line: Buy CSI 464 for most scented jar candles, Chunks or CSI 468 only when your oil can use more than 10%, and the pillar or butter wax only for pillars and toppings.
Straight to the verdict: Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 at ₹507.40/kg for most scented jar candles · Luxury Soy Wax Chunks at ₹599.00/kg when your oil can use up to 13% · every grade below in one table.

The verdict: eight CSI soy grades in one table

Eight products carry the word soy in CSI’s wax collection. They are not eight versions of the same thing.

Three are 100% soy container waxes with published working figures (CSI 464, Luxury Soy Wax Chunks and Eco Soy CSI 400). Two are coconut-soy blends, one with a full specification (Premium Coconut Soy CSI 468) and one without (Premium Coconut Soy Wax). The remaining three are built for particular formats: Soy Pillar Wax for moulded pillars, Soy Butter Wax for dessert and whipped candles, and Natural Soy Pearl Wax, a pearl-form wax the page describes as “made from a blend of soy wax”. Asking which is best without saying what you pour is like asking which flour is best without saying whether you are making rotis or a cake.

The table uses only what the product pages publish; where a page is silent, the cell says so. That gap is information in itself: a wax with a stated ceiling and temperature window can be planned around before you spend money, while one without has to be learned by testing or asking.

Priced above: lowest live per-kg rate for each grade on 11 September 2026 — CSI 464 ₹507.40 (1, 5 and 10 kg); Chunks ₹598.00 (500 g; ₹599.00 at 1 and 5 kg); CSI 468 ₹637.00 (5 and 10 kg); Eco Soy CSI 400 ₹399.00 (1 kg); Premium Coconut Soy Wax ₹920.00; Natural Soy Pearl ₹424.80 (5 kg and above); Soy Pillar Wax ₹600.00; Soy Butter Wax ₹1,097.40. Prices include taxes.

Two things stand out before any ranking. First, only three of the eight grades publish a fragrance ceiling, and only CSI 468 publishes a melting point. Second, the price spread is wide: the dearest grade costs 2.75 times the cheapest per kilo, but the three container grades most makers shortlist — CSI 464, Chunks and CSI 468 — sit within ₹142.60 of each other at the 1 kg pack. The decision between those three is where most of the value in this page sits.

How the ranking works

A published number beats a promised one — because you can plan a batch around it.

Every grade was ranked for a specific job using five tests a maker in Pune or Kochi can check with the product page and a calculator. There are no lab scores: CSI does not publish comparative burn-test data for these waxes, and an invented “throw rating” is exactly the kind of number to distrust.

1. Does the page publish what you need to plan a batch?

The planning minimum is a fragrance ceiling and a temperature window: with both, you can calculate oil grams and set your melter before you open the bag. CSI 464, Chunks and CSI 468 clear this bar. Eco Soy CSI 400 publishes a fragrance-add temperature but no ceiling. The other four publish neither, which does not make them bad waxes — it makes them waxes you have to learn.

2. How much fragrance headroom can you actually use?

A wax ceiling on its own is half the picture. The oil has its own limit, and the lower of the two governs. Most CSI oil pages that state a candle range stop at 10% for soy — Eucalyptus Spearmint says “up to 10% for soy wax”, and Dark Vanilla, Apple Cinnamon and Bergamot Amber all give “Soy Candles 6-10%”. A handful go higher: Japanese Cherry Blossom gives 6–13% for candles, Cinnamon Vanilla up to 13%, and Autumn 7–11%. So the three-point gap between CSI 464’s 10% and Chunks’ 13% is real, but it only opens up with the oils that allow it.

The CSI principle
The lower ceiling always wins.
Chunks allows 13% of wax weight; Eucalyptus Spearmint allows 10% in soy. Pair them and your working maximum is 10% — the same as CSI 464, which costs ₹91.60 less per kilo.

3. What does it cost per candle, not per bag?

Per-kilo prices hide how little or how much a grade changes your candle cost. This page uses the series’ standard unit — 200 g of wax plus 16 g of fragrance oil at 8% (216 g poured) with one Eco Candle Wick Thin (C1) at ₹5.90 — so every grade is compared on the same candle. On that unit, wax is about 65% of the materials cost with CSI 464 before the jar, label and box, which is why an 18% difference per kilo still moves the candle price noticeably.

4. Can you buy the size you need, repeatedly?

A wax you cannot reorder is a formula you cannot repeat. On 11 September 2026, CSI 464 had the deepest stock of the container soy grades across all four packs, while Natural Soy Pearl had only three 10 kg packs and a single 50 kg pack, and CSI 468 had fewer than ten each of its 5 kg and 10 kg packs. Stock changes daily, but a grade that is thin at the pack size you scale into ranks lower for production.

5. Is it made for your format?

Container waxes are meant to grip glass, pillar waxes to let go of a mould, dessert waxes to hold a piped shape. Using the wrong family is not a small compromise — it is a common reason a “bad wax” complaint turns out to be the right wax in the wrong candle. Container or pillar first is the earlier decision; this page assumes you have made it.

Trial two finalists before a festive run

The 500 g packs exist for exactly this. CSI 464 at ₹260.00 plus CSI 468 at ₹325.00 is ₹585.00 for one kilo of wax — enough for two 200 g test candles of each, with a little over. Add Chunks at ₹299.00 and all three container finalists cost ₹884.00. The trial pack of CSI 464 costs ₹12.60 more per kilo than the 1 kg pack; that premium is the price of not guessing.

Best for most makers: Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464

If you pour scented jar candles with everyday oils and want one wax to standardise on, this is the one.
1
Rank 1 · Best for most scented container candles
Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes)

The product page describes CSI 464 as a 100% soy container wax designed for single-pour application, with excellent glass adhesion, a creamy, opaque finish, low frosting and minimal blooming, and strong cold and hot throw. It publishes a fragrance ceiling of up to 10% and a shelf life of 60 months in cool, dry storage. It wins on three checkable counts: the lowest per-kilo price of the three fully specified container grades, the same ₹507.40/kg rate from 1 kg to 10 kg, and the deepest stock of any container grade in every pack.

One review reads: “One of the best wax for container Candles. Easy to work with, especially if you are a beginner.” Two five-star reviews are a small sample, and nothing on the page lets you compare throw numerically with other grades — but nothing published contradicts the choice either.

Pack Price ₹ per kg Wax cost of one 200 g candle
500 g ₹260.00 ₹520.00 ₹104.00
1 kg ₹507.40 ₹507.40 ₹101.48

₹101.48 of wax per 200 g candle at any pack from 1 kg to 10 kg Buy CSI 464 — from ₹260.00

What CSI 464 is not good at

Its 10% ceiling cannot use the extra room Japanese Cherry Blossom or Cinnamon Vanilla publish, so if your signature scent lives at 11–13%, it is the wrong base however good the price. Its product page gives 80–90°C as the working range for melting and pouring. And as a flake it exposes a lot of surface to damp air, so reseal the bag in humid months.

Moving a 12% Chunks formula straight onto CSI 464. Makers who switch to CSI 464 to save ₹91.60 a kilo often keep the old recipe. A 200 g candle at 12% carries 24 g of oil; CSI 464’s published ceiling of 10% allows 20 g. The extra 4 g has nowhere to bind once the wax sets, and in general practice excess oil shows up as a greasy surface or droplets on the top, worse in a hot Indian summer. Fix: re-weigh the oil at 10% of the wax (or lower if the oil page says so) and re-test the wick, because a lighter load can change how fast the pool forms — or stay on Chunks for that scent.

CSI 464 is sold in 500 g, 1 kg, 5 kg and 10 kg packs; for more than 10 kg in one consignment, ask on WhatsApp. For why a creamy soy container wax suits jars, see Why choose luxury soy wax for jar candle making.

Ranks 2 to 5: the other container waxes

Each of these beats CSI 464 at something specific. None beats it at everything that matters to most makers.

Rank 2 · Most fragrance headroom, fullest method
Luxury Soy Wax Chunks

Chunks publish the most complete method of any CSI soy: melt to approximately 80–85°C, add dye at full melt, add fragrance at 80–90°C and stir slowly for two full minutes, then pour at 75–80°C. Fragrance runs from an 8% start to 10% recommended and a 13% maximum “of total wax weight” (test burn thoroughly at 13%), and cure is a minimum of 48 hours, ideally one to two weeks. The page describes excellent adhesion and minimal frosting in glass, tins, ceramic and apothecary jars, single or multi-wick.

The catch is price. At ₹599.00/kg, Chunks cost ₹91.60 more per kilo than CSI 464 (18% more), and there is no bulk saving: the 500 g pack is actually the cheapest per kilo at ₹598.00, and the 10 kg pack at ₹5,999.00 costs ₹9.00 more than two 5 kg packs. Buy Chunks when your oil allows more than 10% and you will use it, or when you want a published method to follow.

Rank 3 · Best coconut-soy blend with published specs
Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 (flakes)

CSI 468 is the only grade in this line-up that publishes a melting point — 50–53°C — and it gives a pour temperature of 58–60°C, far lower than the soy grades’ working figures. It carries the same 13% ceiling as Chunks and a 60-month shelf life, and the page describes an ultra-smooth, creamy finish, minimal frosting, excellent glass adhesion and hot and cold throw, with RSPO-certified options available. As a blend, it cannot go on a “100% soy” label.

At ₹650.00/kg for 1 kg it costs 28% more than CSI 464, dropping to ₹637.00/kg at 5 and 10 kg — a 2% saving, or ₹130.00 on a 10 kg pack versus ten 1 kg packs. The 5 kg and 10 kg packs had under ten units each on 11 September 2026, so confirm availability before planning a large run.

Rank 4 · Lowest price per kilo
Eco Soy CSI 400 (chunks)

At ₹399.00/kg, Eco Soy CSI 400 is 21% cheaper per kilo than CSI 464. The page describes an all-natural container wax produced in India, in chunks that are easy to weigh, with a creamy, off-white finish that often sets in one pour and needs no additives. Its method: add fragrance at 85°C (80–90°C), stir gently for two minutes, pour directly, with Eco Wicks recommended.

It ranks fourth, not first, for one reason: the page does not publish a fragrance ceiling. You cannot plan a 10% candle on a wax whose maximum you do not know, and other grades’ ceilings do not transfer. Its melting point is not published either. There is no bulk saving — the 5 kg pack at ₹1,996.00 costs ₹1.00 more than five 1 kg packs — and the single review is four stars: “Good quality wax”. If price is your first filter, ask on WhatsApp for the fragrance ceiling before you buy more than a kilo.

Rank 5 · Coconut-soy without a published spec
Premium Coconut Soy Wax

The page describes a blend of non-GMO soy and virgin coconut oil, suitable for a wide range of container types, with strong throw and good adhesion for oils and dyes. It does not publish a fragrance ceiling, a melting point or a pour temperature, and it is sold only in 500 g and 1 kg packs, flat at ₹920.00/kg.

Here is the honest comparison against our own higher-priced product: CSI 468 publishes more and costs ₹270.00 less per kilo at the 1 kg pack. If you are choosing a coconut-soy blend today, start with CSI 468. Premium Coconut Soy Wax makes sense if you already have a tested formula built on it, or once WhatsApp confirms working figures that suit you. Its one review, from Manasa GN, calls the products “great and of premium quality” and the delivery charges very high; that criticism is addressed below.

Pack Price ₹ per kg Wax cost of one 200 g candle

1 kg ₹920.00 ₹920.00 ₹184.00
₹184.00 of wax per 200 g candle · temperatures and ceiling not published Buy Premium Coconut Soy Wax — from ₹460.00
Buying the wrong “Premium Coconut Soy”. Two CSI products share the words premium coconut soy: Premium Coconut Soy CSI 468 at ₹650.00/kg with a melting point, pour temperature and 13% ceiling on the page, and Premium Coconut Soy Wax at ₹920.00/kg with none of those figures published. Makers who order by name alone can pay ₹270.00 more per kilo for less published information, then apply CSI 468’s 58–60°C pour temperature to a wax that never stated it. Check the product handle or the “CSI 468” in the title before you add to cart.

Ranks 6 to 8: pearl, pillar and dessert waxes

These are not worse soy waxes. They are soy waxes for other jobs — and one of them is the most-reviewed grade CSI sells.
6
Rank 6 · Only choice for pillars and moulds
Soy Pillar Wax

Sold for pillar and designer candles, these soy chunks are described as melting evenly to a smooth, creamy finish across a wide range of pillar mould shapes. With five five-star reviews, it is the most-reviewed soy grade in the collection; Lalitha Jagan writes that it “is really good to make pillar candles and for moulds”. No fragrance ceiling or temperatures are published. Price is flat at ₹600.00/kg from 500 g to 10 kg, and it was well stocked in every pack.

For a pillar maker it ranks first by default; for a jar maker, last, for the reason in the next box. For wicks, CSI’s Cotton Braided Wicks Ready Made are sold for candles exceeding 8 cm across, and the wick guide by diameter explains test burns.

₹120.00 per 200 g of pillar wax at any pack size Buy Soy Pillar Wax — from ₹300.00
Pouring pillar wax into jars. A pillar wax is formulated to shrink slightly and release cleanly from a mould — that is what lets you slide a finished pillar out. In a glass jar the same behaviour works against you, pulling the wax away from the sides and leaving visible gaps. Pillar waxes are also generally harder, which tends to give a smaller melt pool in a container. If you have already bought Soy Pillar Wax for jars, use it for moulded pieces and buy CSI 464 for the jar line. Do not try to fix a format mismatch with additives: Vybar (₹156.00 for 50 g) is optional, its page suggests 0.5–1% for soy, and it is worth testing in a controlled batch — but it will not turn a pillar wax into a jar wax.
7
Rank 7 · Largest single pack, least published
Natural Soy Pearl Wax

The page describes “Pearlized” soy pearls with a pearlescent shimmer, “made from a blend of soy wax”, suitable for a variety of container types and candle designs. Its full composition, fragrance ceiling and temperatures are not published — ask on WhatsApp. It has no reviews yet.

Two numbers make it interesting. It is the only CSI wax sold as a 50 kg pack (₹21,240.00), and above 1 kg it drops to ₹424.80/kg — the second-lowest soy rate after CSI 400, and a 5.6% saving (₹252.00 on 10 kg versus ten 1 kg packs). Two numbers hold it back: on 11 September 2026 there were only three 10 kg packs and one 50 kg pack in stock. Trial it at 1 kg and confirm reorder availability on WhatsApp before you build a range on it.

Rank 8 · Dessert and whipped candles only
Soy Butter Wax

The page describes a blend of soy pellets, soy chunks and beeswax with a creamy texture, intended for a professional finish. That makes it the grade for whipped toppings and dessert-style candles. It is the most expensive soy grade at ₹1,097.40/kg, sold only up to 1 kg, with no published figures and no reviews yet.

Two honest notes. Because it contains beeswax, do not call a candle made with it vegan or 100% soy. And at ₹219.48 per 200 g it is a poor choice for the body of a candle: pour the base in a container wax and use Soy Butter Wax only for the decorative layer. CSI also sells a Nozzle and Piping Bag Set for Dessert Candles at ₹153.40.

The table uses the standard unit for this series: 200 g of wax + 16 g of fragrance oil at 8% of wax weight (216 g poured) and one Eco Candle Wick Thin (C1) at ₹5.90 (from the ₹590.00 100-pack). The oil is Eucalyptus Spearmint Fragrance Oil at ₹3,068.00 for 1 kg (₹3.07 per gram), well stocked and stated “up to 10% for soy wax”. Wax is priced at the 5 kg rate, or 1 kg where no 5 kg pack exists. Jars, labels and boxes are excluded because they do not change with the wax.

Soy Pillar Wax (₹120.00 per 200 g) and Soy Butter Wax (₹219.48 per 200 g) are left out of the candle rows because pillars and dessert candles use different wicks and weights. Illustrative arithmetic, September 2026 prices.

Read the right-hand column before the middle one. Moving from CSI 464 to Chunks adds ₹18.32 of wax to each candle — easy to ignore on one jar, but ₹1,832.00 across 100 candles, and the Chunks candle costs 11.7% more in materials. For a hobbyist making 20 candles a year, that is noise. For a small Instagram brand shipping 300 candles over the Diwali and wedding season, it is ₹5,496.00. Going the other way, CSI 400 saves ₹2,164.00 per 100 candles against CSI 464 — real money, but only worth taking once you know what fragrance load that wax will hold.

Paying for 13% and pouring at 8%. Many makers buy Chunks or CSI 468 for the 13% headline, then pour at the 8% starting point with an oil capped at 10%. They pay the higher wax price and never use the headroom. The headroom only has value with an oil that allows it — and using it costs money too: with Japanese Cherry Blossom at its 500 g price of ₹2,500.00 (₹5.00 per gram), going from 10% to 13% on a 200 g candle means 20 g of oil (₹100.00) becoming 26 g (₹130.00), an extra ₹30.00 per candle or ₹3,000.00 per 100 candles. Decide the load you will actually sell at, then pick the cheapest wax whose ceiling covers it.

Two cost points are worth knowing before you choose a pack size. CSI 464 charges the same per kilo at 1, 5 and 10 kg, so buying the 10 kg pack saves nothing on wax — its advantage is one parcel instead of ten. CSI 468 and Natural Soy Pearl do reward larger packs (2% and 5.6% respectively). For candles per kilo at other fill weights, see how many candles 1 kg of wax can make.

Best soy wax for each job: the decision table

One wax is best for most makers. Twelve jobs have their own answer.

What it shows: the three questions that settle most soy wax choices — format, the oil page’s soy ceiling, and whether price outranks published figures. Deliberately left out: jar size, wick choice, climate and cure time, which are decided after the wax, not before it.

The tree is short on purpose. In general candle-making practice, wick size, fragrance load and cure time change a finished candle more than moving between two well-made container waxes, so settle the wax quickly and spend your testing time on the pairing. The worked example shows the verdict turning into an actual order.

Worked example: a 60-pour Diwali run on three shortlisted waxes

1
Fix the unit and the count. A Jaipur maker plans 56 gift candles plus 4 to keep for burn testing and records: 60 pours of 200 g wax + 16 g oil. That is 12 kg of wax, 960 g of oil and 60 wicks. Illustrative figures; add your own spillage allowance.
2
Check the ceiling pair before comparing prices. The chosen oil is Eucalyptus Spearmint, capped at 10% in soy. CSI 464’s 10%, Chunks’ 13% and CSI 468’s 13% all cover an 8% load, so the extra headroom on Chunks and CSI 468 buys nothing for this oil. Had the scent been Japanese Cherry Blossom at 12%, CSI 464 would drop out here.
3
Price the real pack combinations. CSI 464: 10 kg + 2 × 1 kg = ₹6,088.80. Chunks: 2 × 5 kg + 2 × 1 kg = ₹7,188.00. CSI 468: 10 kg + 2 × 1 kg = ₹7,670.00. Add the 1 kg oil (₹3,068.00) and a 50-pack plus a 10-pack of C1 wicks (₹354.00): totals of ₹9,510.80, ₹10,610.00 and ₹11,092.00. CSI 464 saves ₹1,099.20 against Chunks and ₹1,581.20 against CSI 468 on this run. Per pour, CSI 464 works out at ₹158.51 — slightly above the ₹156.47 in the cost table because 40 g of the oil pack is left over.
4
Back-plan from 8 November 2026. Diwali falls on 8 November 2026. With a 14–21 day cure plus courier time, production candles should be poured by about mid-October. Working back, test candles poured in mid-September can be burn-tested from late September, leaving the first two weeks of October for the production pour. The trial packs you order now decide the 12 kg order you place at the end of the month.

Indian heat, monsoon and delivery: what changes the answer

The spec sheet was written for a storeroom. Your candles live in a Nagpur May and a Kochi July.

Summer heat. Delhi, Ahmedabad and Nagpur regularly pass 40°C, and a sealed courier van runs hotter than the shade. No CSI soy grade publishes a heat-resistance or transit rating, so no spec sheet can say which survives a June dispatch from Jaipur to Chennai. The one relevant published number is CSI 468’s melting point of 50–53°C — a figure to respect, not a reason to avoid the wax: a CSI 468 range going out in April–June deserves a trial parcel before launch. For grades without a published melting point, the same trial is the only honest answer.

Monsoon humidity. Mumbai, Kochi and Kolkata test your storage more than your wax. The CSI 464 page says to store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture; the CSI 468 page adds “keep sealed when not in use”. Flakes expose more surface to damp air than chunks, so fold and clip the bag after every weighing. Water and hot wax do not mix: moisture melted into a batch can spit in the pot and leave pits in the set candle.

Delivery charges. Two real reviews on the soy grades raise the same point: Manasa GN says “the delivery charges are very high which is restricting me to purchase more”, and Mahak agarwal, reviewing Soy Pillar Wax, writes that the shipment charges were “too higb for me”. That is fair feedback. Because CSI 464, Chunks and Soy Pillar Wax cost the same per kilo from 1 kg up, several small parcels save nothing on wax. Ask for a delivery quote on WhatsApp before you choose between one larger pack and several small ones, and combine wax, oil and wicks into one order where you can.

Buying 10 kg in July for a November launch without a sealed store. A 10 kg pack of CSI 464 at ₹5,074.00 has a stated 60-month shelf life in cool, dry storage — the promise assumes the storage. An opened bag beside a kitchen window through the monsoon can pick up moisture that shows up as spitting in the melter and pitted tops. Fix: buy the 10 kg pack when you are ready to pour most of it, decant into airtight containers, and weigh out only what the batch needs.
Pay for the headroom you will use, not the headroom on the label.

Festive and gifting calendars. Diwali, the wedding season and year-end corporate gifting crowd demand into a few weeks. One well-stocked container wax across the whole festive range, rather than a different wax per scent, keeps pour temperatures, wick sizes and cure times identical between batches — the practical reason CSI 464 tops this page.

Why trust this guide

CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles, and sells every grade on this page — so the ranking has to survive a customer checking it. That is why it recommends the cheaper of our two lead soy container waxes for most makers, says plainly that our cheapest soy grade does not publish a fragrance ceiling, and tells you our ₹920.00/kg coconut-soy wax publishes less than the ₹650.00/kg one.

Every price comes from live CSI stock on 11 September 2026, September 2026 pricing, taxes included; the linked product pages are authoritative if anything changes. Fragrance ceilings are the wax manufacturer’s stated formulation maximums as printed on each page, as a percentage of wax weight. Where a page publishes no ceiling, temperature or melting point, this guide says so rather than estimating. Stock counts are a snapshot, and no comparative burn-test data exists or is implied.

Frequently asked questions

Is Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 the same as Soy Wax 464 Pellets?
They are separate products. Soy Wax 464 Pellets are currently out of stock; if you have a formula built on the pellets, test-pour it on the flakes before a production run. CSI 464 flakes are in stock from ₹260.00 for 500 g, with a published ceiling of up to 10%.
Which soy wax is best for candles sold in hot Indian cities?
No CSI soy grade publishes a heat or transit rating, and only CSI 468 publishes a melting point (50–53°C). For summer dispatch to Delhi, Ahmedabad or Nagpur, send a trial parcel in your real packaging before launch, whichever wax you choose.
Can I mix two CSI soy waxes?
You can, and many makers blend, but once you do, neither product page’s figures describe your wax any more. Stay at or below the lower of the two published ceilings (or the oil page’s limit, if lower still), and test-burn the blend as a new formula before selling it.
How many candles does 1 kg of soy wax make?
At 200 g of wax per candle, five. The Chunks page estimates 6–12 candles per kilo because it assumes a range of smaller sizes. Work from your own fill weight: 1,000 g divided by the wax grams in one candle.
Which CSI soy waxes are 100% soy?
The pages describe CSI 464, Luxury Soy Wax Chunks and Eco Soy CSI 400 as 100% soy. CSI 468 and Premium Coconut Soy Wax are coconut-soy blends, Soy Butter Wax contains beeswax, and Natural Soy Pearl is described as “made from a blend of soy wax”, with the full composition not published.
Is the 10 kg soy wax pack cheaper per kg?
It depends on the grade. CSI 464 is ₹507.40/kg at 1, 5 and 10 kg alike. CSI 468 drops from ₹650.00 to ₹637.00/kg at 5 and 10 kg, and Natural Soy Pearl from ₹450.00 to ₹424.80/kg. The Chunks 10 kg pack costs ₹9.00 more than two 5 kg packs.
