Track candle-making materials
Useful candle inventory starts with wax, fragrance oils, dyes, wicks, jars, lids, warning labels, product labels, and packaging.
Record quantities in units that match how you use each material so recipe and purchasing decisions stay practical.
Build a recipe for each candle
A candle recipe connects a finished product to its wax weight, fragrance load, wick, vessel, labels, and packaging. Variations may need separate recipes when their materials or quantities differ.
Record production in batches
Batch tracking connects the making process to inventory. Producing candles should add finished stock and reduce the materials consumed by that batch.
This makes it easier to plan the next pour and identify materials that could block production.
Review stock and cost together
Fragrance, wax, vessel, and packaging prices can change over time. Keeping current material costs connected to recipes provides a clearer estimate of what each candle costs to make.
The goal is not only to count jars on a shelf. It is to connect the full making workflow from materials through finished stock.
