I Want to Make 75 × 200 g Bergamot Soy Candles — Which CSI Raw Materials Would I Need from Testing Through Finished Production?
Aktie
What do I buy to test? A 12-candle screen: Chunks and CSI 468, Eco Thin C1 and Thick C2, Bergamot Amber at 8%, 15 White Matte jars — ₹4,472.42.
What do I buy for production? The winning wax and wick, 2 × 500 g + 3 × 100 g + 1 × 50 g of Bergamot Amber, 80 more jars and stickers — ₹22,957.00–₹23,895.20, after subtracting test leftovers.
Whole path? ₹27,429.42–₹28,367.62 excluding tools (₹1,357.00 if you need them).
First: there is no plain bergamot at CSI
If you searched for bergamot fragrance oil, you should know before you plan anything that CSI's fragrance catalogue has no single-note bergamot. What it has is Bergamot Amber Fragrance Oil, a blend whose name tells you it pairs bergamot with amber. That is a different fragrance from a straight bergamot, and only you can say whether it suits your candle. CSI publishes no composition, throw data or IFRA percentage for it in this data — check the product page, and ask for the IFRA certificate and MSDS on WhatsApp. If a straight bergamot is essential, this page's method still works with another supplier's oil; the wax, wick and jar lines do not change.
| Size | Price | Per gram | 200 g candles at 16 g |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 g | ₹105.02 | ₹7.00 | 0.94 |
| 50 g | ₹280.00 | ₹5.60 | 3.12 |
| 100 g | ₹560.00 | ₹5.60 | 6.25 |
| 500 g | ₹2,718.00 | ₹5.44 | 31.25 |
| 1 kg | ₹5,437.00 | ₹5.44 | 62.50 |
The useful step is small-to-medium: ₹7.00 a gram at 15 g against ₹5.60 at 50 g and 100 g. Above that it barely moves — ₹5.44 at 500 g, ₹5.44 at 1 kg — so the 1 kg bottle buys convenience, not a better rate. That shapes both orders below: the screening oil comes in 100 g bottles, and the production oil in 500 g bottles topped up with small ones.
The four stages, and what each one buys
"From testing through finished production" is really four purchases with decisions between them. Stage 0 is tools, if you do not own them. Stage 1 screens two waxes and two wicks with Bergamot Amber at an 8% working load — twelve candles. Stage 2 confirms the winner with three more candles, burned to the end and kept on the shelf; those come out of the production materials. Stage 3 is the 75 saleable candles. The rule that keeps the money sensible: anything a test can change is bought after that test; anything shared by every outcome can be bought early.
| Stage | What it decides | Candles | CSI materials bought | ₹ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 · Tools (optional) | Repeatable weighing and pouring | — | Scale, thermometer, jug, wick centring (5) | ₹1,357.00 |
| 1 · Screen | Which wax and which wick | 12 | Chunks + CSI 468 test bags, Bergamot Amber 2 × 100 g + 15 g, Thin C1 20, Thick C2 10, 15 jars, 1 sticker sheet | ₹4,472.42 |
| 2 · Confirm | Full-life, shelf and throw at cure | 3 | Drawn from stage 3 materials | Included below |
| 3 · Produce | 75 saleable candles | 75 | Winning wax and wick, Bergamot Amber, jars, stickers — minus stage 1 leftovers | ₹22,957.00–₹23,895.20 |
| Whole path (excluding tools) | 90 poured | ₹27,429.42–₹28,367.62 |
The screening stage is 16.3% of the whole worked path, and it is the part most makers want to skip. It is also the only part that tells you which wax and wick to buy in production quantities. Skipping it does not save ₹4,472.42; it bets the ₹22,957.00+ production order on a guess. The burn-test budget post sizes test stages for other situations, and the wick-sample post covers how many wick options are worth screening.
Stage 1: the screening kit
Twelve candles: two CSI container soy waxes × two Eco wicks × three candles each, all with Bergamot Amber at 8% of a 200 g finished candle (16 g oil + 184 g wax). The two waxes are Luxury Soy Wax Chunks and Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 — both have a published 13% ceiling, so a later load step has room — and the wicks are Eco Thin C1 and Thick C2, because CSI publishes no wick-size-per-diameter chart. A 5% pour-loss allowance is included; jars are the White Matte candidate, with three spare for a re-pour.
| Item | Need | Buy | Price | Carried to production |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | 1,159.2 g | 1 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g | ₹898.00 | 340.8 g if it wins |
| Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 | 1,159.2 g | 1 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g | ₹975.00 | 340.8 g if it wins |
| Bergamot Amber Fragrance Oil | 201.6 g | 2 × 100 g + 1 × 15 g | ₹1,225.02 | 13.4 g |
| Eco Candle Wicks Thin C1 | 6 | 1 × 20 (10-pack out of stock) | ₹118.00 | 14 if it wins |
| Eco Candle Wicks Thick C2 | 6 | 1 × 10 | ₹94.40 | 4 if it wins |
| White Matte Glass Jar | 12 + 3 spare | 1 × 10 + 1 × 5 | ₹1,062.00 | 3 jars |
| Wick stickers | 12 | 1 × sheet of 40 | ₹100.00 | 28 stickers |
| Stage 1 total | ₹4,472.42 |
Stages 2 and 3: confirmation and production
With a winner chosen, the production stack is the familiar one: 75 candles plus 3 confirmation candles, a 3% reject allowance on wax, oil, wicks and stickers, 5% pour loss on wax and oil, 2% breakage on jars — labelled working assumptions. That gives 15,535.7 g of wax, 1,350.9 g of oil, 81 wicks and stickers and 80 jars. Then subtract what stage 1 left: 340.8 g of the winning wax, 13.4 g of Bergamot Amber, 3 jars, the unused wicks of the winning type and 28 stickers.
| Winner | Wax to buy | Wick to buy | Oil, jars, stickers | Production ₹ | Whole path ₹ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chunks + Thin C1 | 3 × 5 kg + 1 × 500 g · ₹9,284.00 | 1 × pack of 50 + 1 × pack of 20 · ₹413.00 | ₹13,260.00 | ₹22,957.00 | ₹27,429.42 |
| Chunks + Thick C2 | 3 × 5 kg + 1 × 500 g · ₹9,284.00 | 1 × pack of 50 + 1 × pack of 20 + 1 × pack of 10 · ₹755.20 | ₹13,260.00 | ₹23,299.20 | ₹27,771.62 |
| CSI 468 + Thin C1 | 1 × 10 kg + 1 × 5 kg + 1 × 500 g · ₹9,880.00 | 1 × pack of 50 + 1 × pack of 20 · ₹413.00 | ₹13,260.00 | ₹23,553.00 | ₹28,025.42 |
| CSI 468 + Thick C2 | 1 × 10 kg + 1 × 5 kg + 1 × 500 g · ₹9,880.00 | 1 × pack of 50 + 1 × pack of 20 + 1 × pack of 10 · ₹755.20 | ₹13,260.00 | ₹23,895.20 | ₹28,367.62 |
| Item | Need after stage 1 | Buy | Price | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bergamot Amber Fragrance Oil | 1,337.5 g | 2 × 500 g + 3 × 100 g + 1 × 50 g | ₹7,396.00 | After stage 2 if the load might change; otherwise after stage 1 |
| White Matte Glass Jar | 77 | 8 × pack of 10 | ₹5,664.00 | Any time — shared by every outcome |
| Wick stickers | 53 | 2 × sheet of 40 | ₹200.00 | Any time |
On the worked path — Chunks with Eco Thin C1 — the whole journey from screening to 75 finished candles is ₹27,429.42, or ₹365.73 of CSI materials per saleable candle, every test candle included. The jars are the line you can safely buy at any point, because every wax and wick option uses the same jar; the wax and wick wait for stage 1, and the production oil waits for stage 2 if you are considering a load change. If stage 2 moves you to 10%, the oil line becomes 3 × 500 g + 1 × 100 g + 1 × 50 g + 2 × 15 g at ₹9,204.04 instead of ₹7,396.00.

The 100-candle Lavender hub is the same method with the wick as the only deciding material. Your first 100 candles separates what to buy in bulk from what to keep small. The complete 100-candle plan adds dye to the list. The 200 g luxury lavender candle in frosted glass starts one step earlier, at product development, and the 50-candle vanilla post shows the case where the oil, not the wax, is the deciding material.

Non-price figures and assumptions: BOM convention used on every page in this series: load is a share of the finished candle (oil = W × L; wax = W × (1 − L)). Allowances are applied in one order — whole test candles, then a reject allowance (÷ (1 − reject rate)) on wax, oil, wicks and stickers, then pour loss on wax and oil only, then breakage on glass only, then rounding up to listed in-stock CSI packs. A rejected candle is assumed to be remade with new wax, oil, wick and sticker in a cleaned jar; a jar that cannot be reused counts as breakage. Working figures on this page: 8% load (the title gives none), 12 screening candles (2 waxes × 2 wicks × 3), 3 confirmation candles, 3% rejects, 5% pour loss (also on the screen), 2% breakage, 3 spare screening jars. CSI lists no plain bergamot fragrance oil. What CSI's product pages state (quoted, not CSI test results): Luxury Soy Wax Chunks — maximum fragrance load 13%, fragrance addition 80–90°C, pour 75–80°C in the spec table (the step list also shows 70–80°C), cure minimum 48 hours, ideally 1–2 weeks; Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 — fragrance load up to 10%, an 80–90°C melt/pour working range in the spec table, shelf life 60 months cool and dry; Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 — melting point 50–53°C, pour 58–60°C, fragrance load up to 13%, shelf life 60 months cool and dry; Natural Soy Pearl — no melt point, pour temperature, fragrance ceiling or shelf life published. CSI publishes no throw, burn-test, wick-size-per-diameter or jar-diameter data; only two fills are published (Golden Aluminium Tin 85 g, Heart Cutout Velvet Jar 50 g wax capacity). Material costs exclude labour, packaging, freight and GST. Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday 8 November.
