Sound familiar?
These are the questions candle makers ask us every day. Here's how PetalMade solves them.
"Am I using too much fragrance oil?"
Enter your fragrance percentage and see immediately if it's safe. No more hunting through IFRA documents.
"What's my true cost per candle?"
Track wax, fragrance, wicks, and containers. See your actual margins before you price.
"Which batch had that fragrance lot?"
If a customer has a reaction, know exactly which fragrance lot went into their candle.
"I always run out mid-pour"
Set reorder points for each ingredient. Get notified before you're empty.

Purpose-built for candle makers
Every feature designed to solve real problems in your candle business. No generic inventory software—this is candle-specific.
IFRA Compliance in Seconds
Candles fall under IFRA Category 11B for airborne exposure. We calculate maximum fragrance percentages automatically using the 51st Amendment standards.
True Cost Per Candle
Know your exact cost including wax, fragrance oils, wicks, containers, and labor. Price confidently at markets and online.
Batch Tracking That Works
Log every pour with production dates, cure times, and scent throw notes. Track which fragrance lot went into which batch for quality control.
IFRA Category 11B Compliance
Candles fall under IFRA Category 11B: products with airborne exposure without direct skin contact. This means specific fragrance limits apply.
Example Check
PetalMade checks every ingredient against IFRA limits automatically.
