CSI lists stearic acid in two packs, 100 g and 200 g, at exactly the same price per kilo, and its product page does not state a usage rate. This guide turns that into a buying plan: general-practice test rates clearly labelled, grams per batch, what it does to the cost of a pillar, and when a kilo-scale order belongs on WhatsApp.

Quick answers — read this first
What is the price of stearic acid for candle making in India? At CSI, Stearic Acid is ₹57.82 for 100 g and ₹115.64 for 200 g — ₹578.20 per kilo either way. The 200 g pack is the largest listed; one kilo at listed prices is five 200 g packs.

How much stearic acid should I add to candle wax? CSI's page does not state a rate. In general candle-making practice it is most often trialled at around 5–10% of wax weight in paraffin pillars and moulded candles, and many soy container makers use none. Treat those as test points, not a specification.

How much does it add per candle? On the 184 g of wax in a 200 g candle: ₹5.32 at a 5% test rate, ₹10.64 at 10%. Blended into Soy Pillar Wax in place of the same weight of wax, it is almost cost-neutral.

Can I buy stearic acid in 1 kg, 5 kg or 25 kg? Not as a listed pack. Five 200 g packs make 1 kg for ₹578.20; 25 packs make 5 kg for ₹2,891. For recurring kilo quantities, ask on WhatsApp for a quote.
The short answer
Buy 100 g first: a three-rate test grid on six 200 g pillars uses about 55 g. The 100 g pack covers it at ₹57.82, and the per-kilo price does not improve at 200 g.
Find your rate, then write it down: CSI states no dose, so your rate comes from a controlled test — 0%, 5% and 10% of wax weight in one mould shape, cured and burned side by side.
Order by the batch: at 10% a 10 kg wax batch needs 1 kg of stearic acid (5 × 200 g, ₹578.20); at 5% it needs 500 g (₹289.10). Above that, ask for a quote.
One 10 kg wax batch · stearic acid at three general-practice test rates 3% test point 300 g · ₹173.461 × 200 g + 1 × 100 g 5% test point 500 g · ₹289.102 × 200 g + 1 × 100 g 10% test point 1,000 g · ₹578.20 · 5 × 200 g · the largest listed pack is 200 g CSI's stearic acid page states no usage rate — these are test points, not specifications Price is flat at ₹0.5782 per gram, so cost follows grams exactly whichever packs you combine
Bar length is proportional to grams of stearic acid for 10 kg of wax. The rates are points on a general-practice test grid, most relevant to paraffin pillars and moulded candles; the right rate for your wax, mould and fragrance is the one your own cured test burn supports.
Straight answer
Where can I buy stearic acid for candle making in wholesale quantities in India, and how much do I actually need?
CSI lists Stearic Acid, described as 100% pure stearic acid, in 100 g at ₹57.82 and 200 g at ₹115.64 — a flat ₹578.20 per kilo. No larger pack is listed, so a kilo is five 200 g packs and anything recurring at kilo scale is a WhatsApp quote. The part most buyers miss is that the product page states no usage rate. In general candle-making practice, stearic acid is most often trialled at roughly 5–10% of wax weight in paraffin pillars and moulded candles; container soy candles frequently use none. Those are test points, not a CSI specification, which is why your first purchase should be the 100 g pack and a three-rate test in one mould. Once a rate passes, the ordering is simple arithmetic: at 10%, a 10 kg batch needs 1 kg (₹578.20); at 5%, 500 g (₹289.10). Inside a 200 g pillar that is ₹10.64 or ₹5.32. Blended into Soy Pillar Wax in place of wax it is almost cost-neutral; in fully refined paraffin it adds about ₹4 per pillar at 10%. If you want an additive whose page does state a pillar rate, microcrystalline wax gives 3–7%.
One line: ₹578.20 a kilo in 100 g or 200 g packs, no stated dose — buy 100 g, test 0/5/10% in one mould, then order stearic acid by the wax batch and quote kilos on WhatsApp.
Setting up a rate test? Stearic Acid 100 g at ₹57.82 covers a three-rate grid, and Fully Refined Paraffin Wax Pellets 1 kg at ₹354 or Soy Pillar Wax 1 kg at ₹600 gives you the base wax to test it in.

What CSI lists, and what the page leaves out

The most useful line on a stearic acid label is the dose. On this one, that line is missing — so plan for it.

Stearic acid is a fatty acid, typically sold to candle makers as white flakes, beads or powder that melt into wax. It has been part of candle making for a very long time, which is exactly why so much of what gets said about it is folklore. Before you decide how much to buy, separate what CSI's product page actually states from what the general candle-making world repeats. The first column is something you can rely on; the second is something you have to verify on your own bench.

Stearic Acid at CSI · live listing, September 2026
What the product page states — and what it does not
Question a buyer asks What the CSI page says What that means for your order
What packs are listed? 100 gram ₹57.82 · 200 gram ₹115.64 Largest single pack is 200 g; 1 kg = 5 packs
Is it cheaper per kilo in the bigger pack? No — both work out at ₹578.20/kg Buy the pack size that suits your batch, not a "saving"
What is it? "Made with 100% pure stearic acid" A single-ingredient additive — easy to record in a recipe
What does it do? Describes a clean, long-lasting burn and refers to a high melting point and binding properties The effects to look for in your test — not a promise for your wax
How much should I use? Not stated Your rate must come from a controlled test
Which waxes is it for? Not stated Test in the exact base wax you will produce with
Is it plant- or animal-derived? Not stated If you market vegan candles, ask on WhatsApp before labelling
Melting point? "High melting point" — no number given Melt it fully into hot wax and stir before adding fragrance

That table is not a criticism of the product; it is the honest shape of the listing, and it tells you how to buy. A product with a stated rate lets you order by arithmetic on day one. A product without one asks you to spend a small amount learning the rate first. At ₹57.82 for the 100 g pack, that learning costs less than a single fragrance oil sample. Skipping it is what gets expensive.

The mistake: reading "₹57.82" as cheap and dosing by the spoon. Stearic acid looks inexpensive per pack, so it gets added generously and inconsistently — "a spoonful per melt". A level spoonful can weigh very different amounts depending on particle size and how tightly it packs, and at ₹578.20 per kilo an over-generous hand on a 10 kg batch is real money. More importantly, a candle you cannot reproduce is a candle you cannot sell twice. Weigh every gram on a candle making weighing scale (₹354).

Commonly used rates — as tests, not specifications

Because CSI's page gives no dose, the numbers in this section come from general candle-making practice, and they are labelled that way everywhere on this page. They describe where makers commonly start testing, not what CSI specifies and not what your candle needs. In general practice, stearic acid is used mainly with paraffin, to make pillars and moulded candles harder and more opaque and to help them release cleanly from rigid moulds. In soy container candles it is usually unnecessary. In soy pillars and blends some makers trial it, usually starting lower.

Candle type, whether stearic acid commonly features, a test grid to start from, and the stated alternative
Candle type Commonly features stearic acid? General-practice test grid (not a CSI spec) CSI base wax Additive with a stated rate instead
Paraffin pillars and moulded shapes Yes — the classic use 0% · 5% · 10% of wax weight Fully Refined Paraffin ₹354/kg Vybar 1–2% for paraffin; microcrystalline 3–7% for pillars
Soy pillars and designer shapes Sometimes, as a trial 0% · 3% · 5% Soy Pillar Wax ₹600/kg Microcrystalline 3–7% for pillars
Paraffin or blended votives Often 0% · 5% · 10% Fully Refined Paraffin; Semi Refined Paraffin ₹220/kg Vybar 1–2% for paraffin
Soy container candles Usually not Start with none; test only against a measured problem Luxury Soy Wax Chunks, CSI 464, CSI 468 Vybar 0.5–1% for soy
Read this table as a test plan, not a recipe
Every percentage in the grid column is a point to test, calculated on wax weight, and each grid includes a 0% control so you can see whether stearic acid is doing anything at all in your wax. The two right-hand columns are different in kind: the Vybar and microcrystalline rates are stated on their CSI product pages. If you would rather start from a published number, those are the additives that give you one. For the dosing debate itself, see how much stearic acid should you add to candles.

Two cautions from general practice are worth carrying into your test. First, stearic acid changes appearance: dyed paraffin often looks more opaque and paler with it, which suits some pillar styles and ruins others, so judge colour in the test rather than assuming it. Second, general guidance often warns that stearic acid can be hard on rubber moulds, and some makers report that higher levels shorten the life of silicone moulds too. Rigid moulds — such as the acrylic Pillar Candle Mould (₹942.82; Tall 11.2 × 6.3 cm or Short 8.6 × 6.5 cm) — are where the release benefit is usually sought. If your line depends on a detailed silicone mould, test on one mould and inspect it after several pours before you commit a set.

The background reading on what stearic acid does — hardness, burn length, opacity — is in what does stearic acid do in candles and why stearic acid makes candles harder and last longer. This guide stays on the buying side: grams, packs and rupees.

Grams per batch and the packs that cover them

Once you have a rate — from your own test — the buying maths is mechanical. Stearic acid grams = wax weight × rate. Because CSI's price is flat at ₹0.5782 per gram in both packs, the cost is the same whichever combination of 100 g and 200 g packs you use; the pack column below simply gives the fewest bags that cover the weight. Rates are the general-practice test points from the previous section, not CSI specifications.

Worked out above: grams = batch weight × rate; cost = grams × ₹0.5782 (₹57.82 ÷ 100 g = ₹115.64 ÷ 200 g). 300 g × ₹0.5782 = ₹173.46 · 500 g = ₹289.10 · 600 g = ₹346.92 · 1,000 g = ₹578.20 · 2,000 g = ₹1,156.40. Where a batch needs less than a whole pack (30 g, 50 g, 150 g, 250 g), the pack price is shown and the rest stays on the shelf for the next batch.

Read the table from the bottom up and it tells you when stearic acid stops being a basket item and becomes a purchasing line. A maker pouring a kilo or two of paraffin pillars a week is buying one 100 g pack at a time and should not think about wholesale at all. A workshop running two 10 kg pillar batches a week at 10% goes through 2 kg of stearic acid a week — ten packs every time — and that is the point at which a recurring WhatsApp quote is simply more sensible than a basket full of 200 g bags.

Don't let the additive dictate the wax you buy. Paraffin is the classic partner for stearic acid, but CSI lists Fully Refined Paraffin Wax Pellets only in 500 g (₹177) and 1 kg (₹354) packs, and Semi Refined Paraffin in 1 kg (₹220). If you plan a paraffin pillar line at 10 kg a batch, the paraffin itself is a quote, not a listed pack — sort that out first, because stearic acid at 10% is only a tenth of the weight. The paraffin supply picture is laid out in paraffin candle wax wholesale supplier in India.

What stearic acid does to the cost of a pillar

In a paraffin pillar, stearic acid costs extra. In a soy pillar, it costs almost nothing. Same additive, opposite arithmetic.

There are two ways to cost an additive, and they give different answers. If you add stearic acid on top of the wax, a 200 g candle's 184 g of wax takes 9.2 g at 5% (₹5.32) or 18.4 g at 10% (₹10.64) — pure extra cost. But in a blended pillar, stearic acid usually becomes part of the wax weight: the mould holds the same amount, so every gram of stearic acid replaces a gram of base wax. Then what matters is the price gap between stearic acid at ₹0.5782 per gram and the wax it displaces.

Wax cost of one 200 g pillar at 8% fragrance (184 g wax blend) · CSI live pricing, September 2026
Base wax alone vs a blend with stearic acid replacing part of the wax
Base wax (listed price per kg) 184 g of base wax Blend at 5% stearic (174.8 g wax + 9.2 g) Blend at 10% stearic (165.6 g wax + 18.4 g) Change at 10%
Semi Refined Paraffin (₹220) ₹40.48 ₹43.78 ₹47.07 +₹6.59
Fully Refined Paraffin (₹354) ₹65.14 ₹67.20 ₹69.26 +₹4.12
Soy Pillar Wax (₹600) ₹110.40 ₹110.20 ₹110.00 −₹0.40
Beeswax Pellets (₹800) ₹147.20 ₹145.16 ₹143.12 −₹4.08

The pattern is simple once it is laid out. Stearic acid at ₹578.20 a kilo sits between paraffin and soy pillar wax on price. Blend it into either paraffin and the pillar's wax cost rises by a few rupees; blend it into Soy Pillar Wax and the cost barely moves; blend it into beeswax and it falls. None of those numbers is a reason to use stearic acid — the only valid reason is a better candle in your test — but they do settle the cost objection. On a pillar line selling in the hundreds of rupees, a ₹4–₹7 change in wax cost is not what decides your margin. A cracked or stuck pillar that goes in the reject bin is.

Rejects are the real stearic acid maths. Suppose a batch of ten 200 g fully refined paraffin pillars loses one to a poor release. That reject costs the full ₹65.14 of wax plus the wick, the fragrance and your pouring time. Adding stearic acid at 10% to all ten costs about ₹41.20 in extra wax value (ten × ₹4.12). If — and only if — your test shows it cuts rejects in your mould, it pays for itself at one saved pillar in ten. If your test shows no difference, it is ₹41.20 of unnecessary cost on every ten pillars. Test first; the arithmetic only works with a result behind it.

What to buy with it

Stearic acid is never bought alone; it goes into a base wax, and it competes with two additives whose pages do state pillar rates. These cards show every listed pack. The per-candle figure in each footer is calculated on the 184 g of wax in a 200 g candle.

1
The additive · no stated rate
Stearic Acid
Listed as 100% pure stearic acid with a page that refers to a clean, long-lasting burn, a high melting point and binding properties. It is flat-priced across both packs, so the only question is how many bags you want to open. For a first test, buy 100 g; a 0/5/10% grid on two 200 g pillars per rate uses 55.2 g. Move to 200 g packs once the rate is fixed and batches are regular.
Size Price Per 100g 200 g candles @ 10% test rate
100 gram ₹57.82 ₹57.82 ≈5
200 gram ₹115.64 ₹57.82 ≈10

2
Base wax · paraffin pillars and moulded shapes
Fully Refined Paraffin Wax Pellets
The classic partner for stearic acid. Its page describes a low melting point and uses "from traditional pillars to elegant container candles"; it does not state a fragrance load or pour temperature, which is one more reason to run your stearic test in exactly this wax rather than borrowing someone else's rate. Listed only in 500 g and 1 kg — perfect for testing, and a WhatsApp conversation if the line scales.

Base wax · soy pillars, reorderable in 10 kg
Soy Pillar Wax (Specially made for Pillar and Designer Candles)
The CSI wax made to be poured into a pillar mould, flat at ₹600 per kilo from 500 g to 10 kg. Its page states no numeric specifications, so a soy pillar line starts with a test anyway — which makes it the natural place to include a stearic acid column. Because stearic acid is slightly cheaper per gram than this wax, a blend at 5% or 10% costs ₹0.20–₹0.40 less per pillar than the wax alone.
Size Price Per kg 200 g pillars @ 8%
500 g ₹300 ₹600 ≈2

The stated-rate alternative · 3–7% for pillars
Microcrystalline Wax Slab – Premium Grade
If the idea of dialling in an undocumented rate puts you off, this is the pillar additive whose page does the work: 1–10% overall, 3–7% for pillar candles, 1–5% for hardening blends, and a list of intended effects that includes reduced cracking in pillar and moulded candles. It is also cheaper per kilo than stearic acid. Put it in the same test as a fourth column and let the pillars decide.

The CSI principle
When a supplier states no dose, the dose is yours to discover — and yours to write down.
A stated rate is borrowed confidence. A tested rate is earned confidence, and it is specific to your wax, your mould and your fragrance. Stearic acid only ever gives you the second kind, which is exactly why the maker who has run the test owns a recipe a competitor cannot copy from a product page.

A stearic acid test that gives you a rate

The test below produces one number — your stearic acid rate for one wax in one mould — and uses a single 100 g pack. It is built for pillars and moulded candles, where stearic acid is most commonly used. Keep everything except the stearic acid fixed, and write the actual readings, not the targets.

1
Fix the base: one wax, one mould, one wick, one oilChoose the exact base wax you will produce with and one mould shape. Weigh a filled mould once to confirm its real capacity, because most mould pages give dimensions, not grams. Seal the wick hole with Candle Mold Sealer (₹472 for 80 reusable pieces) so no leak confuses the result.
2
Weigh three blends from general-practice test pointsFor two 200 g pillars per rate at 8% fragrance: 0% control = 368 g wax; 5% = 349.6 g wax + 18.4 g stearic acid; 10% = 331.2 g wax + 36.8 g stearic acid. That is 55.2 g of stearic acid in total. For soy pillars, swap the 10% column for 3% (11.04 g). Label each pour before you melt anything.
3
Melt the stearic acid fully into the wax before fragranceThe page gives no temperature, only a "high melting point", so let the stearic acid melt completely into the hot base wax and stir until no undissolved pieces remain. Then add fragrance and pour all three blends at the same temperature, measured with a pen thermometer (₹354).
4
Judge the release and the surface on day oneNote how easily each pillar leaves the mould, any cracks or pull-away, surface finish and — for dyed wax — how the colour has shifted. Photograph all six in the same light. Inspect the mould itself: any tackiness, dulling or tearing is part of the result.
5
Cure, then burn one of each pairCure the pillars together for the same period, then burn one of each blend for three hours on a heat-safe plate, side by side. Record melt pool width, dripping, soot, flame height and throw at 30 and 120 minutes. A harder pillar that tunnels or drowns the wick has not passed.
6
Pick the lowest rate that solves the problemIf 5% releases and burns as well as 10%, 5% is your rate — half the stearic acid, half the cost. If the control performs as well as both, you do not need stearic acid in this wax. Write the winning line into the recipe sheet: "Stearic acid X% of wax weight, melted in before fragrance."
Retest when the base changes
A stearic acid rate belongs to a specific wax, mould and fragrance. Change the wax (for example from paraffin to Soy Pillar Wax), move from rigid to silicone moulds, or switch to a much heavier fragrance, and run the three-column test again. It costs one more 100 g pack at ₹57.82 — far less than a batch of pillars that behave differently from the ones you tested.

Buying stearic acid above 200 g

"Wholesale stearic acid" means different things to different buyers. For a home studio it means a few 200 g packs at once. For a pillar workshop it means kilos every month. CSI lists only the two packs, so the honest picture has two parts: what listed packs cost when combined, which is the ceiling, and when to stop combining packs and ask for a quote.

The right-hand columns are the useful ones. Five kilos of stearic acid at a 10% test rate is enough for 50 kg of wax — roughly 271 × 200 g pillars. Very few candle businesses need that much in one go, and if you do, you are almost certainly also buying base wax at a scale that should be on the same quote. When you message CSI, include the stearic acid quantity per month, the rate you tested, the base wax and its monthly weight, your delivery pincode, and your GST number if you want a GST invoice. The listed ₹578.20 per kilo is the number to compare any quote against; we will not tell you here what that quote will be.

Two practical points belong in any bulk plan. Storage: keep opened stearic acid sealed, dry and away from heat and direct sun, and use the oldest bag first — a storeroom that softens wax in an Indian summer is no place for an opened bag of additive. Labelling: the CSI page does not state whether its stearic acid is plant- or animal-derived. If your brand, your B2B customer or a marketplace listing makes a vegan claim, request documentation on WhatsApp before you print that claim on a label.

Don't buy a year of stearic acid to "lock in" a price. There is no listed step-down between 100 g and 200 g, so nothing on the listing rewards stockpiling, and a year's supply ties up cash in an additive whose rate you may still change after your next wax or mould change. Buy by the month, reorder when the last full pack is opened, and move to a recurring quote only when your monthly figure is stable for two or three months in a row.
A kilo of stearic acid is cheap. A kilo of stearic acid at the wrong rate is ₹578.20 poured straight into the reject bin.

Why trust this guide

CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. We sell stearic acid, and the simplest thing to write would be a confident dose that sends you straight to a kilo. We have not, because CSI's own product page does not state one — and a supplier that invents a specification to sell more of an additive is a supplier whose other numbers you should not trust either.

Every price and pack size here comes from live CSI stock in September 2026 and links to the product page, where current pricing always takes precedence. The only stearic acid statements attributed to CSI are those on its product page: 100% pure stearic acid, a clean and long-lasting burn, a high melting point and binding properties. All stearic acid rates on this page (3%, 5%, 10%) are general-practice test points, not CSI specifications. The microcrystalline (1–10%, 3–7% for pillars) and Vybar (0.5–2%) rates are stated on their own product pages.

What is the price of stearic acid per kg in India for candle making?
At CSI, ₹578.20 per kilo at listed prices, in both the 100 g (₹57.82) and 200 g (₹115.64) packs. No 500 g or 1 kg pack is listed, so a kilo is five 200 g packs. Because the price is flat, the bigger pack offers no per-kilo saving. For kilo quantities every month, message CSI on WhatsApp for a quote, and compare it against the listed ₹578.20 per kilo. The product page is always authoritative for current pricing.
How much stearic acid should I add per kg of candle wax?
CSI's stearic acid page does not state a usage rate. In general candle-making practice it is often trialled at around 5–10% of wax weight in paraffin pillars and moulded candles — 50 g to 100 g per kilo of wax — and at lower levels, if at all, in soy. Treat those as test points: pour a 0% control, 5% and 10% in the same mould, cure, burn and use the lowest rate that solves your problem.
Do I need stearic acid in soy wax candles?
For soy container candles, usually not — many are made with no additive at all, and waxes such as Luxury Soy Wax Chunks publish their own specifications. Some makers trial stearic acid in soy pillars, starting low. If you want a pillar additive with a stated rate, microcrystalline wax states 3–7% for pillars, and Vybar states 0.5–1% for soy. Test any of them against an untreated control.
How many candles does 200 g of stearic acid make?
It depends entirely on the rate you settle on. On the 184 g of wax in a 200 g candle, stearic acid at a 10% test rate is 18.4 g per candle, so 200 g covers 10 candles; at 5% it is 9.2 g, so 200 g covers 21 candles. Put another way, 200 g treats 2 kg of wax at 10% or 4 kg at 5%. These rates are general-practice test points, not CSI specifications.
Is stearic acid the same as Vybar or microcrystalline wax?
No. They are different materials, and at CSI they are documented differently. Stearic acid has no stated rate. Vybar states 0.5–2% of total wax weight, 0.5–1% for soy and 1–2% for paraffin, added before fragrance and colour. Microcrystalline wax states 1–10%, with 3–7% for pillars. Choose by the problem you are solving and test each against a control. The comparison is covered in Vybar vs stearic acid.
Is CSI's stearic acid vegetable-based or animal-based?
The product page describes it as 100% pure stearic acid but does not state its source. Stearic acid in general can be derived from plant or animal fats. If your candles are sold with a vegan or plant-based claim, or a B2B customer asks, message CSI on WhatsApp at +91 7397976926 and request documentation before you put the claim on a label. Do not assume either way.

Figures verified September 2026: Stearic Acid 100 gram ₹57.82, 200 gram ₹115.64 (₹0.5782/g, ₹578.20/kg); page states "100% pure stearic acid", a clean and long-lasting burn, high melting point and binding properties; no usage rate, wax compatibility, source or numeric melting point stated. Fully Refined Paraffin Wax Pellets 500 gram ₹177, 1 kg ₹354. Semi Refined Paraffin Wax 1 kg ₹220. Soy Pillar Wax 500 g ₹300, 1 kg ₹600, 5 kg ₹3,000, 10 kg ₹6,000. Beeswax Pellets ₹800/kg. Microcrystalline Wax Slab 500g ₹149, 1kg ₹299; stated 1–10%, pillars 3–7%, hardening blends 1–5%. Vybar stated 0.5–2% of total wax weight, soy 0.5–1%, paraffin 1–2%. Candle Mold Sealer ₹472 (80 pieces). Pillar Candle Mould ₹942.82. Pen Thermometer ₹354. Candle Making Weighing Scale ₹354. Maths assumes a 200 g candle at 8% fragrance load (184 g wax share + 16 g oil); "on top" costs add stearic acid to 184 g of wax; blend costs replace the same weight of base wax (e.g. Fully Refined Paraffin 165.6 g × ₹0.354 + 18.4 g × ₹0.5782 = ₹69.26). Stearic acid rates of 3%, 5% and 10% are general-practice test points, not CSI specifications. 50 kg of wax ≈ 271 × 200 g candles (50,000 ÷ 184).
