I Want One Supplier for Wax, Fragrance Oils, Wicks, Jars, Dyes and Moulds — What Should I Check Before Buying All My Candle Raw Materials From Them?
शेयर करना
Can CSI supply everything? Most of it: oils, 14 wax products, wicks, jars, dyes, moulds and tools. Not listed: tealight cups, tealight wicks and three-wick jars. Out of stock on the pull date: green and yellow liquid dye, green dye chips, stearic acid, Soy Wax 464 Pellets and four moulds. See the audit.
Is buying everything together cheaper? Not by a published discount. Per-gram price breaks on oils are rare, and most waxes are flat per kilo. Volume pricing beyond the listed packs is quoted on WhatsApp; no discount figure is published.
What does an every-category order cost? ₹8,780.54 for 20 jar candles and 4 pillars, including one-off tools and a mould. See the basket.
The eight checks
Run the checks in that order. Coverage and stock eliminate suppliers quickly; specs and price decide between the ones left; paperwork and reorder consistency decide whether you can build a business on them. The last check — gaps — is the one most buyers skip, and it is the one that stops a production run.
CSI's catalogue, audited
Here is the audit run on ourselves, category by category, from the live catalogue on 24–25 September 2026. The right-hand column is the one that matters for your decision.
| Category | What is listed | Gaps on the pull date |
|---|---|---|
| Fragrance oils | 93 products; 86 with a size in stock; 51 with an in-stock 15 g; 73 with an in-stock 1 kg | 7 oils with no size in stock (Rajnigandha, Spiced Rum, Mogra, Baccarat Rouge 540 inspired, Regal Royal Oud, Frankincense and Tonka, Acqua Di Gio inspired); several oils missing single sizes |
| Container wax | Luxury Soy Wax Chunks (up to 13%), CSI 464 (up to 10%), Natural Soy Pearl, CSI 468 coconut soy, Premium Coconut Soy, Coconut Wax, Soy Butter | Soy Wax 464 Pellets out of stock (all sizes); ceilings published for two waxes only |
| Pillar and other wax | Soy Pillar Wax, Fully Refined Paraffin Pellets, Beeswax Pellets, Microcrystalline Slab, Gel Wax Clear | Semi Refined Paraffin: 1 unit on pull date; Stearic Acid out of stock; no ceilings published |
| Wicks | Eco Thin C1 and Thick C2, Cotton Braided Ready Made, Performance Wooden, Braided Wick Roll, wick stickers | No tealight wicks listed; wick sticker 100-sheet out of stock; wick sizing per diameter not published |
| Jars and containers | White Matte Glass Jar, Yankee 130 ml, 200 ml Salsa, Mini Glass Jars, votive jars (black), Heart Cutout Velvet Jar (red), Golden Aluminium Tin 85 g, wax melt containers | No tealight cups; no three-wick jars; orange votive and white velvet jar out of stock; several fill weights not published |
| Dyes and colour | Liquid dyes red, blue, purple, brown, black; dye chips red, yellow, blue, brown, black; white and green mica | Green and yellow liquid out of stock; green chips out of stock; black chips 1 in stock; dye doses not published |
| Moulds | Pillar, ribbed, daisy, beach, bubble, David; 10 wax-melt moulds; 11 decorative moulds; mould sealer | Twisted pillar, maple leaf, mini pumpkin, succulent out of stock; ribbed 5 × 7 cm out of stock; David 1 in stock; cavity weights not published |
| Kits | Seven candle-making kits from ₹554.60 to ₹6,741.34 | Fragrance contents not published in our data; no fragrance-only sample pack or discovery set |
| Paperwork | GST invoicing; MSDS and IFRA documentation on request | Requested on WhatsApp, not downloadable from every product page |
Three of those gaps have practical workarounds inside the catalogue. Yellow colour: the liquid is out of stock, but yellow dye chips (₹250.00) are in stock. Green colour: both green liquid and green chips are out; green mica (10 g ₹57.82) gives a green shimmer, though mica colours differently from a dye. Harder moulded candles without stearic acid: Soy Pillar Wax is listed specifically for pillar and designer candles. I'm Making Decorative Mould Candles — How Much Fragrance Oil Can I Add Without Affecting the Candle Structure? covers testing it.
Specs we publish — and don't
The most useful specs for a candle maker are the ones that turn into arithmetic: how much oil a wax can hold, how much wax a jar holds, how many grams a mould cavity takes. Here is what our catalogue states and what it doesn't, so you know where you will need your own scale and your own burn tests.
| Spec | Published? | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Fragrance ceiling — Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | Yes: up to 13% | Stay at or below; 8% is a common working load |
| Fragrance ceiling — CSI 464 | Yes: up to 10% | Stay at or below |
| Fragrance ceiling — coconut soy, pillar, paraffin, beeswax, gel, soy pearl, soy butter | No | Ask on WhatsApp; test 6–10% only as a labelled range |
| Jar fill weights (e.g. Mini Glass Jars, melt containers) | Mostly no (the Golden Tin states 85 g; the velvet jar 50 g) | Weigh a filled jar |
| Mould cavity weights | No | Weigh a filled cavity |
| Wick size for a jar diameter | No | Burn-test two or three wick types |
| Dye dose per kg of wax | No | Follow the dye's product page; test small |
| Oil throw, flash point, IFRA % per oil | Not in this data | Test throw yourself; ask for the IFRA certificate and MSDS on WhatsApp |
None of those silences is unusual for a raw-materials supplier, but each one costs you a test or a weighing. Build that time into your first order. The oil-side detail — which oils to test and how — is covered in I'm Starting a Soy Candle Business — Which 10 Fragrance Oils Should I Buy First? and I'm Making Coconut Soy Luxury Candles — Which Fragrance Oils Should I Test for Strong Hot Throw?.
Price structure: what one supplier does and doesn't save
Consolidating saves you orders, shipments and invoices. It does not, on CSI's listed prices, unlock a discount by itself. Here is the actual price pattern across categories.
| Category | Pattern | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Fragrance oils | The reliable step is 15 g → 50 g/100 g (median 23.1% per-gram premium on 15 g). Above 100 g most oils are flat. | 52 of 91 oils within ±1% per gram between 100 g and 1 kg; 24 save 5% or more, e.g. Citronella 62.3%, Honeydew Melon 22.0% |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | Flat per kilo | ₹599.00 / kg at 1 kg and 5 kg; ₹599.90 / kg at 10 kg |
| CSI 464 | Flat per kilo | ₹507.40 / kg at 1, 5 and 10 kg |
| Natural Soy Pearl Wax | 5.6% break at 5 kg | ₹450.00 / kg at 1 kg; ₹424.80 / kg at 5, 10 and 50 kg |
| CSI 468 coconut soy | 2% break at 5 kg | ₹650.00 / kg at 1 kg; ₹637.00 / kg at 5 and 10 kg |
| Eco Candle Wicks | Flat per wick | Thin C1 ₹5.90 each from 10 to 1,000 |
| Cotton Braided Wicks | Flat per wick | ₹12.00 each at every pack size |
| Wax melt containers | Flat per unit | ₹29.50 each at 5, 10, 50 and 100 |
| 200 ml Salsa Glass Jar | Break at 50 | 5 for ₹200.60 (₹40.12 each); 50 for ₹1,475.00 (₹29.50 each) |
So the case for one supplier is convenience, consistency and one set of paperwork — real benefits, but not a published price benefit. For volumes beyond the listed packs, CSI quotes on WhatsApp; no discount figure is published, so ask rather than assume. Where to Buy Fragrance Oils in Bulk for Festive and Corporate Candle Manufacturing covers bulk sourcing for festive production.
One order, every category
Here is what a single CSI order looks like when it touches every category: 20 jar candles (200 g at 8%) in four scents, plus 4 pillars (illustrative 250 g at 7%) in the same scents. Each 100 g bottle covers five jars (80 g) and one pillar (17.5 g), 97.5 g, with 2.5 g spare — tight, so weigh carefully.
| Item | Quantity | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Fragrance oil | 4 × 100 g: Roasted Coffee, Fresh Strawberries, Gardenia, Woody Oud | ₹1,653.72 |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | 4 × 1 kg (3,680 g needed for 20 jars) | ₹2,396.00 |
| Soy Pillar Wax | 1 kg (930 g needed for 4 pillars) | ₹600.00 |
| Eco Candle Wicks Thin C1 | pack of 20 | ₹118.00 |
| Cotton Braided Wicks Ready Made | pack of 10 | ₹120.00 |
| White Matte Glass Jar | 4 × pack of 5 | ₹1,416.00 |
| Candle Dye Liquid Red | 15 g | ₹236.00 |
| Pillar Candle Mould | 1 | ₹942.82 |

| 10 kg | ₹5,999.00 | ₹599.90 | 54.3 |
| Pack | Price | Per kg | 250 g pillars at 7% (232.5 g) |

| 10 kg | ₹6,000.00 | ₹600.00 | 43.0 |
| Pack | Price | Per gram | Jars (16 g) + pillar (17.5 g) per 100 g |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 g | ₹93.22 | ₹6.21 | 0.15 sets |
| 50 g | ₹271.40 | ₹5.43 | 0.51 sets |
| 100 g | ₹453.12 | ₹4.53 | 1.03 sets |
| 500 g | ₹2,265.60 | ₹4.53 | 5.13 sets |
| 1 kg | ₹4,531.20 | ₹4.53 | 10.26 sets |
The basket's one-off items — mould, sealer, centering device, scale and thermometer — come to ₹2,240.82. Your second order drops to the consumables. Labour, labels, packaging, freight and GST are extra. Plan 3–5% extra wax for pour loss and test burns as a working assumption; the 4 kg of Chunks already leaves 320 g over.

CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. This page asks what to check before giving one supplier your whole order — and then checks us, listing every gap we found: no tealight cups, tealight wicks or three-wick jars, and the out-of-stock dyes, moulds, waxes and oil sizes on the pull date.
Oil and wax prices come from live CSI listings pulled on 24 September 2026; dye, mould, container and wick prices from the 24–25 September 2026 pull; White Matte Glass Jar, Wick Centering Device, scale and thermometer prices are Blog 760's figures verified on 10 September 2026. Stock status changes daily; the product pages are authoritative.
The eight checks are general purchasing practice. The basket's 200 g jar, 250 g pillar and loads are working assumptions. Only Luxury Soy Wax Chunks (up to 13%) and CSI 464 (up to 10%) have published fragrance ceilings in this series.
