Custom candle batches and studio contract pouring in Austin

Bench formulation, proprietary scent compounding, and small-batch contract pouring for boutiques, hospitality spaces, and fragrance brands. Custom candle batches austin production managed by our master maker.

Tiered by Volume Inquiry quote · Lead time upon request

Many contract manufacturers demand five-thousand unit minimums and pour into generic containers with industrial petroleum additives. Aroma Home offers small-to-mid contract runs from 24 to 500 units, utilizing certified vegetable wax bases, calibrated wicks, and full laboratory documentation.

Bench credentials and verification proof

Every contract batch is backed by Texas state business records and verifiable raw supplier invoices.

2020 Master artisan tenure

Operating continuous pouring runs at our Austin facility on Barton Springs Road since 2020 with documented batch repeatability.

14-Day Cure Matrix integrity

We refuse to rush contract delivery: every batch cures for fourteen full days before freight dispatch to prevent surface frosting and oil weeping.

Texas Reg Commercial compliance

Texas state business registration and authentic manufacturer supply invoices available upon written request for contract clients.

Contract batch onboarding and production workflow

From prototype burn testing to final pallet dispatch, every step is itemized on your production sheet.

Phase 1: Spec Review & Calculation You submit vessel dimensions, wax preference, and target scent notes. We calculate net wax mass and oil ratios using the arithmetic demonstrated on our Batch formulation calculator.
Phase 2: Prototype Validation For custom vessels or proprietary oils, our studio pours a three-sample prototype series. We conduct four-hour burn cycles to confirm wick sizing, flame height, and edge-to-edge pool development.
Phase 3: Production Pouring Following sample approval, bulk wax is melted, fragrance blended at 180°F, and vessels poured at 135°F using precision multi-wick centering bars to guarantee symmetrical alignment.
Phase 4: Fourteen-Day Dark Cure Poured units rest undisturbed in our Austin dark room at 68–72°F. This allows the crystal matrix to stabilize and locks in volatile aromatic top notes without surface separation.
Phase 5: Inspection & Freight Every candle undergoes surface inspection, wick trimming to 1/4 inch, warning label application, and secure corrugated packing for direct pickup or insured carrier transport.

Production trade-offs and client boundaries

We state what our studio does and will not do so contract expectations remain transparent.

Paraffin-Free Policy We refuse to pour petroleum paraffin wax or industrial slack waxes. All contract runs utilize 100% natural agricultural soy flakes, coconut-apricot wax, or pure yellow cappings beeswax. Review our wax bases datasheet for melt profiles.
Lead Time Minimums We will not dispatch candles without the mandatory fourteen-day cure period. Rush requests demanding shipment within 72 hours of pouring will be declined, as uncured vegetable wax tunnels and separates in transit.
Client Vessel Testing If you supply custom ceramic or glass containers, we require three empty sample units for thermal shock and diameter testing. Thin decorative glassware that cannot tolerate 150°F melt pool contact will be rejected for safety reasons.
Component Supply Link Independent studios seeking to handle their own pouring operations can purchase raw components in bulk directly through our component catalog or start with our studio starter kits.
