Candle Business Guides · Fragrance Oil vs Other Materials
Yes, with three caveats that are all about method rather than permission: the load belongs to your wax, the add temperature belongs to your wax page, and nothing about the candle may be described as doing anything for anybody's health. This is the practical version — grams, temperatures, a step-by-step pour and what a first run of twelve candles costs.
85°C
the temperature Eco Soy CSI 400 states for adding "fragrance or essential oils", with a two-minute stir — the only add-fragrance instruction in the CSI range that names essential oils · CSI live pricing, September 2026
Quick answers — read this first
Can I use essential oils in candles? Yes. CSI's Eco Soy CSI 400 page says to "add your fragrance or essential oils at 85°C (185°F), stir gently for 2 minutes, and pour directly", and the Massage Candle Base page states "around 6-10% by weight" for skin-safe fragrance or essential oil.
How much do I use? The same discipline as any oil: 8% is a sensible start and the maximum is your wax's stated ceiling. On a 200 g candle that is 16 g of oil and 184 g of wax; on a 70 g votive, 5.6 g; on a 300 g three-wick, 24 g.
What temperature? The one your wax page states — 85°C for Eco Soy CSI 400, 80–90°C for Luxury Soy Wax Chunks with a 70–80°C pour, 58–60°C pour for Premium Coconut Soy CSI 468. No CSI essential-oil listing publishes a flash point, so do not invent an add temperature from one.
What will it cost? Twelve 200 g lavender candles at 8% work out at ₹188.82 of wax, oil and wick each, and the packs to make them come to ₹2,683.80. The full oil-by-oil cost comparison is in fragrance oil vs essential oil for candle making.
The short answer
Yes, and nothing special is required: an essential oil goes into wax the same way a fragrance oil does — weighed, added at the wax's stated temperature, stirred for two minutes, poured, then cured 14–21 days before you judge it.
The ceiling is the wax's, not the oil's: up to 13% on Luxury Soy Wax Chunks, up to 10% on CSI 464, up to 13% on Premium Coconut Soy CSI 468. Eco Soy CSI 400 states no maximum, so hold at 8% until a cured jar has been burned.
Expect to test more, not less: the essential-oil listings publish prices and sizes but no candle load, no flash point and no cure window, so your burn test is doing work the page would otherwise do.
Four waxes, four different windows, and only one of them names essential oils: Eco Soy CSI 400, which states 85°C with a two-minute stir. Note how far apart the ends are — a coconut-soy blend is poured at 58–60°C while soy chunks go in at 80–90°C, so "add the essential oil hot" is not a usable instruction. Read the number off the wax you actually bought.
Can essential oils be used in candles, and what changes when I use them instead of fragrance oil?
Yes. An essential oil dissolves in molten wax and behaves like any other oil phase, and CSI's own Eco Soy CSI 400 page tells you how: "add your fragrance or essential oils at 85°C (185°F), stir gently for 2 minutes, and pour directly". Three things change, all of them practical. The load is still the wax's decision — up to 13% on Luxury Soy Wax Chunks (8–13%, 10% recommended), up to 10% on CSI 464, up to 13% on CSI 468 — and 8% is the sensible starting point, which is 16 g of oil in a 200 g candle. The documentation is thinner: the five essential oils CSI stocks publish prices and pack sizes, but no candle percentage, no flash point, no cure window and no storage instruction, so the burn test is doing work a fragrance-oil page would otherwise do for you. And the cost is higher — 16 g of lavender essential oil is ₹109.50 against ₹83.54 for the fragrance oil of the same name, which is why the decision belongs in a costing sheet before it belongs in a pot. Nothing else is exotic: weigh, add at the stated temperature, stir the full two minutes, pour, cure 14–21 days, then burn a jar yourself. What you must not do is attach a health, sleep or therapeutic claim to the finished candle — no CSI page makes one, and neither should your label.
One line: yes — weigh 8% of the finished candle, add it at the temperature your wax page states, stir two minutes, cure a fortnight, and sell the scent rather than a benefit.
The cheapest honest experiment in this whole question: Eco Soy CSI 400 at ₹399 per kg — the one CSI wax whose page names essential oils — plus 100% Pure Lemon Essential Oil 50 gm at ₹224.20 and Eco Candle Wicks from ₹59 for 10. Two 120 g test jars at 8% need 19.2 g of oil and 220.8 g of wax.
Not on tradition, and not on a blog's opinion. On four sentences printed across the CSI range, and on the fact that wax does not care where an oil came from.
Wax holds oil in solution up to a limit set by its own formulation, and that limit applies to whatever oil you put in — a composed fragrance oil, a single distillate, or a blend. Nothing about a steam-distilled lavender makes it inadmissible in soy; what it lacks is not permission but paperwork. The evidence that CSI treats essential oils as a normal input sits on the base and wax pages rather than on the oil listings: Eco Soy CSI 400 names them in its add instruction, the Massage Candle Base states "Add skin-safe fragrance or essential oil at around 6-10% by weight for massage candles", and two non-candle bases — the Room & Linen Spray Base at 8–15% and the Ultrasonic Diffusion Concentrate Base — do the same. Those four sentences are catalogued in full in fragrance oil vs essential oil for candle making, which is the post to read for the cost comparison and the blending arithmetic. This one assumes you have decided and want the method.
What is genuinely missing, stated plainly. None of the five essential oils CSI lists publishes a candle load, a measured flash point, a cure window, a shelf life or a storage specification — and this guide will not invent any of them. That has one consequence you should plan for: you cannot look up an add temperature for the oil, so you take it from the wax, and you cannot look up a load for the oil, so you take the wax's ceiling and start below it. If a specific figure matters to your production file or to a retailer's questionnaire, request the SDS from CSI on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926 rather than working from an internet average.
How much to use, in grams
Percentages are how loads are discussed and grams are how candles are made, so here is the conversion for the four sizes most Indian makers actually sell. This series treats load as a share of the finished candle: a 200 g candle at 8% is 184 g of wax plus 16 g of oil. Several CSI pages phrase their percentage as a share of total wax weight instead — a real difference of a gram or two at this scale, so pick one convention and keep it on the recipe card.
Grams of essential oil per candle, by size and load
Load as a share of the finished candle · the balance is wax
Finished candle
6% — light and fresh
8% — the sensible start
10% — CSI 464's stated ceiling
13% — Chunks and CSI 468's stated ceiling
70 g votive
4.2 g oil + 65.8 g wax
5.6 g + 64.4 g
7 g + 63 g
9.1 g + 60.9 g
120 g jar
7.2 g + 112.8 g

300 g three-wick
18 g + 282 g
24 g + 276 g
30 g + 270 g
39 g + 261 g
Two decisions hide in that table. Where to start — 8%, for an essential oil for the same reason as for a fragrance oil: high enough to judge, low enough that a failed batch has not eaten the margin. And where to stop, which is not your decision at all but the number printed on your wax page. A 200 g candle holds 16 g of oil at 8% and 26 g at 13%; on lavender essential oil at ₹6.844 per gram that gap is ₹68.44 per candle — real money for a change you have not yet proved improves anything.
Drops are not a unit
A great deal of essential-oil advice is written in drops, and a drop is not a measurement: it varies with the viscosity of the oil, the bottle, the orifice reducer and the temperature of the room. A load is a weight percentage, which means the only tool that gives you a repeatable candle is a scale — CSI lists a candle making weighing scale at ₹354 and a pen thermometer at ₹354, which between them make every number on this page reproducible. Write grams on the card, not drops, and your second batch can match your first.
The over-loading trap, and it bites harder with essential oils. A single distillate often reads quieter than a composed fragrance oil after an hour of burning, and the instinctive fix is to pour more. Past the wax's stated ceiling the surplus does not bind: you get separation in the jar, an oily film sweating to the surface, a wick that struggles because it is drawing oil rather than wax, and a pool that never opens out — a weaker candle that cost more. Fix it with cure time, wick size and a heavier partner note instead; the mechanism and the recovery options are in can too much fragrance oil make a candle smell weaker and the ranked levers are in how to make candles smell strong without exceeding the safe fragrance load.
Heat, and the number nobody publishes
This is where essential oils genuinely need more care than fragrance oils, and the reason is an information gap rather than a chemical drama. No CSI essential-oil listing states a flash point, and across the 107 fragrance-oil pages only 18 publish a measured value at all. So you have no oil-specific temperature to work to — which means you work to the wax's, and you do not heat anything more than the wax page asks you to.

Add temperature, pour temperature and stated load — with the gaps left as gaps
"around 6-10% by weight" of skin-safe fragrance or essential oil
₹2,400
Look at the shape of that table rather than the numbers. Two waxes tell you when to add, four do not, and one names essential oils explicitly. Starting from scratch, that is an argument for Eco Soy CSI 400 — not because the wax is better but because its page answers the question you are about to ask. Already committed to Chunks or CSI 468? Use the add window where one is given, otherwise add at the lower end of the wax's working range, stir the full two minutes and pour at the stated temperature.
A working rule for volatile materials
Essential oils are volatile by definition — that is what makes them smell. The sensible protocol, in the absence of a published flash point, is to hold the wax no hotter than the page requires, add the oil once, stir for the stated two minutes and pour rather than keeping the pot hot while you find your wicks. Whether a fragrance measurably "burns off" at candle temperatures is examined in can fragrance oil burn off when added to hot candle wax and the flash-point question in does flash point determine when oil should be added to wax. Either way, a thermometer costs ₹354 and removes the guesswork; melting by feel is how a batch becomes unrepeatable.
Your first essential-oil pour, step by step
Written for two 120 g test jars, because two jars is the smallest batch that tells you anything and the largest you should risk on an untested oil. Scale the grams for your own vessel from the table above.
1
Weigh the batch before you melt itTwo 120 g candles at 8% need 19.2 g of essential oil and 220.8 g of wax. Weigh both into separate containers and write the figures down now, while they are facts rather than memories. Weigh the empty jar too — most CSI jars state capacity in millilitres rather than grams, so the only honest way to know what a vessel holds is to fill one and weigh it.
2
Melt to the wax page's temperature, not past itMelt the wax gently and take it to the temperature your wax states. On Eco Soy CSI 400 that is 85°C for adding, inside a stated 80–90°C window; on Luxury Soy Wax Chunks the stated add window is 80–90°C with a 70–80°C pour. Use a thermometer, not the look of the wax. Have your wicks stuck and centred and your jars warm before the oil goes anywhere near the pot.
3
Add once, stir two full minutesPour the weighed oil in one go and stir gently and continuously for two minutes by the clock — the Eco Soy CSI 400 instruction is explicit about both the stir and its length. Two minutes feels long. It is the difference between fragrance dissolved through the wax and fragrance dispersed in it, and dispersed oil is what later separates and sweats. Scrape the sides of the pot as you go.
4
Pour at the stated pour temperature, then leave them alonePour steadily into warm jars — 70–80°C for Chunks, 58–60°C for CSI 468, straight after the stir on Eco Soy CSI 400. Let them set at room temperature, undisturbed, away from a fan or an air conditioner: uneven cooling is where wet spots and sinkholes come from, as set out in why candles get wet spots and sinkholes.
5
Cure 14–21 days, then burn one yourselfLids on, closed carton, out of sunlight. The Chunks page asks for a minimum of 48 hours and ideally one to two weeks; this series works to 14–21 days for soy containers. Then burn one jar and record: minutes to a full melt pool, hot throw at 30 and at 180 minutes, cold throw from a closed jar, soot, mushrooming, and any film or colour change on the surface. The 180-minute column is the one that matters most with a single distillate, and the one most makers never write down.
6
Re-test the wick before you scaleA different oil is a different melt pool, so a wick proved with a fragrance oil is not automatically right with an essential oil at the same load. If the pool does not reach the glass in two to three hours, go one size up and burn again — Eco Candle Wicks ship in Thin (C1) and Thick (C2) at ₹5.90 each in tens, so the whole re-test costs less than a jar.
You cannot add essential oil to a candle that has already set. Dripping oil onto the top of a finished candle, or pushing it down a hole beside the wick, does not scent the candle — it leaves neat oil sitting on wax, where it can soak into the wick and pool at the surface instead of dissolving through the body. The only fix for an under-scented cured candle is to melt the wax back down, reweigh the total, top up to the load you want and re-pour, accepting that you are now working with wax that has been heated twice. Better: test in 120 g jars, not in a production run.

Worked out above: 192 g × ₹6.844 = ₹1,314.05 of oil; 2,208 g × ₹0.399 = ₹880.99 of wax; 12 × ₹5.90 = ₹70.80 of wick; total ₹2,265.84, or ₹188.82 per candle before jar, lid, label and packaging. Pack prices: Lavender essential oil 100 gm ₹684.40 (₹6.844 per gram at every listed size from 15 gm to 1 kg), Eco Soy CSI 400 1 kg ₹399, Eco Candle Wicks 20 for ₹118. Jars are excluded because most CSI jars state capacity in millilitres rather than grams — weigh one filled vessel and add its price yourself.
Two observations you can act on. Buying bigger does not help here: lavender is ₹6.844 per gram at every listed size, and Eco Soy CSI 400 is ₹399 for 1 kg against ₹1,996 for 5 kg — ₹399.20 per kilo, so the bigger bag saves nothing on the listed price. Buy what production needs and take recurring volumes to WhatsApp for a quote. And the oil is the biggest line in the candle: ₹1,314.05 of the ₹2,265.84 total, or 58%. That is the number that decides whether an essential-oil range can carry your retail price — the oil-by-oil comparison against fragrance oils, including blends that keep the botanical while cutting the cost, is in fragrance oil vs essential oil for candle making.

Three products, chosen because each one's page carries something this question needs. Prices are every listed size with the per-kilo figure each works out at; the last column counts what one unit of the pack makes.
1
Wax · the page that names essential oils
Eco Soy CSI 400
The wax to start on, for a documentation reason rather than a performance one: its page states "add your fragrance or essential oils at 85°C (185°F), stir gently for 2 minutes, and pour directly", gives a "Fragrance Add Temperature 80 to 90 degrees" and a "Melt Point 100°F (37.8°C)", and recommends Eco Wicks. It states no maximum fragrance load, which is exactly why you hold at 8% until a cured jar has been burned. At ₹399 per kilo it is also the cheapest kilo among CSI's soy container waxes, which matters when the oil is already the expensive half of the candle.
The oil most makers have in mind when they ask this question, and the easiest to test honestly because CSI also stocks a Lavender Fragrance Oil whose page states 6–10% for candles and a 48–72 hour soy cure — a like-for-like comparison in the same wax at the same load. The essential oil publishes no candle load and no flash point, so the wax's numbers govern. Its price per gram is ₹6.844 at 15 gm, 50 gm, 100 gm, 500 gm and 1 kg alike, which makes a 15 gm bottle a fair sample rather than a penalty: enough for two 120 g test jars at 6%.
Base · the one product with a stated essential-oil load
Massage Candle Base
Worth knowing even if you only make jar candles, because it is the single CSI page that states a percentage for essential oil directly: "Add skin-safe fragrance or essential oil at around 6-10% by weight for massage candles". The page describes a base "formulated to melt at a low, skin-friendly temperature" without giving a number, and is written for massage candles and body-melt collections — a skin-contact format, so skin-safe is doing real work in that sentence and the oil has to earn it. Ask for the documentation first.
Beeswax and coconut wax: yes, but with even less written down.Beeswax Pellets at ₹800 per kg are the natural-wax pairing most makers reach for, and the page states no fragrance load, no melt point, no add temperature and no pour temperature — it says only that it suits "container candles, votives, pillars, and tealights". Coconut Wax at ₹1,026.60 per kg is described as blending with soy or beeswax and states nothing numeric either. That is not a reason to avoid them; it is a reason to hold the load at 8%, pour two test jars and let the burn decide. Beeswax also carries its own honey-ish scent, which will sit under whatever you add. Start from how to make beeswax candles with essential oils.
The CSI principle
When the oil's page is silent, the wax's page is your specification. Read the wax.
An essential oil tells you almost nothing about how to use it in a candle, because the people who distil it are not selling to candle makers. Every number you need — the ceiling, the add temperature, the pour temperature, the cure — is printed on the wax you chose. Work from that and there is nothing left to guess.
What you may write on the label
This is the part of the essential-oil question that can cost a business real money, and it has nothing to do with wax.
A large amount of candle marketing attaches wellness, sleep, stress, mood and "aromatherapy benefit" language to essential-oil candles. No CSI page makes a therapeutic or health claim for any oil in the range, and this guide does not either. A candle is a scented object. The moment your listing promises a physiological effect, you are making a claim you cannot support from anything your supplier has published, and you have handed a customer a reason to be disappointed in a way that no amount of cure time will fix.
Everything factual is available to you, and it is a better story than the invented one. Name the material and the botanical, state the percentage, say which wax, and describe the scent in the ordinary language of a scent — bright, herbal, resinous, green. If a customer wants "natural", tell them exactly what is in the jar and at what load; a maker who can answer that precisely sounds more trustworthy than one reciting benefits. And if the blend is part essential oil and part fragrance oil, say so honestly: "made with lavender essential oil" and "scented with lavender essential oil" are different promises, and the blend arithmetic that sits behind that sentence is worked out in fragrance oil vs essential oil for candle making.
Sell the distillate, the wax and the percentage. The customer who wants a promise about their sleep is not asking a candle maker.

A note on the skin-contact edge of this category. The Massage Candle Base phrase "skin-safe fragrance or essential oil at around 6-10% by weight" is a load instruction, not a safety clearance for a particular oil — the oil must be appropriate for a leave-on product in its own right, which is a documentation question. Request the SDS, and for fragrance oils the IFRA documentation, on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926 before a skin-contact product goes on sale.
Why trust this guide
CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. We sell both the essential oils and the fragrance oils, and the essential oils carry the higher price per gram — so the convenient version of this page would talk up the botanical. Instead it says that the essential-oil listings publish less than the fragrance pages do, that this puts more work on your burn test, and that the wax page rather than the oil page is where your numbers come from.
Every price, size, temperature and load comes from live CSI stock in September 2026 and links to the product page, which is always authoritative. Stated instructions are quoted from the pages that publish them — the Eco Soy CSI 400 add temperature and stir time, the Luxury Soy Wax Chunks add and pour windows, the CSI 464 and CSI 468 figures, and the Massage Candle Base load. Where a page states nothing, the table says "not stated": no essential-oil listing publishes a candle load, a flash point, a cure window, a shelf life or a storage specification, and none of those has been estimated here.
No therapeutic, health or aromatherapy claim is made anywhere on this page. For an SDS, IFRA documentation on a fragrance oil, bulk or recurring essential-oil volumes, GST invoicing, or help matching a wick after an oil change, message us on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926.
Frequently asked questions
Can essential oils be used in soy wax candles?
Yes. CSI's Eco Soy CSI 400 page states "add your fragrance or essential oils at 85°C (185°F), stir gently for 2 minutes, and pour directly", which is as direct an instruction as the range gives. The load is governed by the wax: up to 13% on Luxury Soy Wax Chunks, up to 10% on CSI 464, with Eco Soy CSI 400 stating no maximum — so start at 8%, which is 16 g of oil in a 200 g candle, and cure 14–21 days before you judge the result.
At what temperature should essential oil be added to candle wax?
At the temperature your wax states, because no CSI essential-oil listing publishes a flash point of its own. Eco Soy CSI 400 states 85°C with a two-minute stir, inside an 80–90°C window; Luxury Soy Wax Chunks states an 80–90°C add and a 70–80°C pour; Premium Coconut Soy CSI 468 states a 58–60°C pour and a 50–53°C melting point. Do not hold the wax hotter or longer than the page asks, use a thermometer rather than judgement, and request the SDS from CSI if a measured figure has to go in your production file.
How many drops of essential oil go into one candle?
Drops are not a usable unit — the volume of a drop changes with the oil, the bottle and the temperature — and a fragrance load is a weight percentage. Weigh instead: a 200 g candle at 8% takes 16 g of oil and 184 g of wax; a 120 g jar takes 9.6 g; a 70 g votive 5.6 g; a 300 g three-wick 24 g. A weighing scale at ₹354 is the cheapest equipment purchase that makes a recipe repeatable, and grams are what you write on the card.
Can I add essential oil to a candle that has already set?
No. Oil dripped onto a finished candle or pushed down beside the wick sits on the wax rather than dissolving through it, and it can soak into the wick and pool at the surface. If a cured candle is under-scented, the honest options are to melt the wax back down, reweigh the total, top up to the load you want and re-pour — accepting wax that has now been heated twice — or to keep the candle and fix the next batch. This is exactly why first tests belong in two 120 g jars rather than in a production run.
Do I need a different wick when I switch to essential oils?
Re-test rather than assume. A different oil at the same load can change how the wax melts, and the melt pool is where scent is released, so a wick proved with a fragrance oil is not automatically correct with a distillate. Burn a test jar and time it: you want a full pool reaching the glass in two to three hours, with no soot and no mushrooming. Eco Candle Wicks come in Thin (C1) and Thick (C2) at ₹5.90 each in tens, so testing both sizes costs ₹118.
Can I use essential oils in beeswax or coconut wax?
Yes, with less to go on. CSI's Beeswax Pellets at ₹800 per kg state no fragrance load, melt point, add temperature or pour temperature, and Coconut Wax at ₹1,026.60 per kg states nothing numeric either beyond blending well with soy or beeswax. So hold the load at 8%, pour two test jars and let the burn decide, and remember beeswax brings its own faint honey character underneath whatever you add. How to make beeswax candles with essential oils covers the pairing.
Yes — now here are the numbers
85°C, two minutes of stirring, 8% of the finished candle, fourteen days of patience.

Figures verified September 2026: Every temperature, load and instruction quoted in the body and tables above is verbatim from the CSI product page named beside it — Eco Soy CSI 400, Luxury Soy Wax Chunks (whose page states both a 70–80°C and a 75–80°C pour), Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464, Premium Coconut Soy CSI 468, Massage Candle Base, Beeswax Pellets, Coconut Wax and Lavender Fragrance Oil. Prices used: Lavender Essential Oil 15 gm ₹102.66, 50 gm ₹342.20, 100 gm ₹684.40, 500 gm ₹3,422, 1 kg ₹6,844 (₹6.844/g at every size); Lemon Essential Oil 15 gm ₹70.80; Marjoram Essential Oil 1 kg ₹8,732; Eco Soy CSI 400 1 kg ₹399, 5 kg ₹1,996 (₹399.20/kg); Luxury Soy Wax Chunks 500 g ₹299, 1 kg ₹599; CSI 464 1 kg ₹507.40; CSI 468 1 kg ₹650; Beeswax Pellets 1 kg ₹800; Coconut Wax 1 kg ₹1,026.60; Massage Candle Base 250g ₹600, 500g ₹1,200, 1kg ₹2,400; Eco Candle Wicks Thin (C1) 10 for ₹59, 20 for ₹118 (₹5.90 each); weighing scale ₹354; pen thermometer ₹354; Lavender Fragrance Oil 1 kg ₹5,221. Load is treated as a share of the finished candle: grams of oil = candle weight × load, balance wax, so 200 g at 8% is 16 g plus 184 g. Twelve-candle costing: 192 g of oil × ₹6.844 = ₹1,314.05; 2,208 g of wax × ₹0.399 = ₹880.99; 12 wicks × ₹5.90 = ₹70.80; total ₹2,265.84, or ₹188.82 per candle, against packs of ₹1,368.80 + ₹1,197 + ₹118 = ₹2,683.80; jars are excluded because most CSI jars state capacity in millilitres, not grams. The ₹68.44 per-candle figure is the 10 g difference between an 8% and a 13% load on a 200 g candle at ₹6.844 per gram. Wax fragrance ceilings are the wax pages' stated maximums and are formulation limits, not regulatory limits. No essential-oil listing in the range states a candle load, flash point, cure window, shelf life or storage instruction, and nothing has been estimated to fill those gaps; of the 107 fragrance-oil pages, 18 state a measured flash point. Cure of 14–21 days for soy containers reflects standard practice. Diwali 2026 falls on 8 November. No therapeutic, health or aromatherapy claim is made for any oil. Prices and availability change — the linked product pages are always authoritative.
