We collect used cooking oil, mostly from restaurants, plus friends and family, and turn it into scented candles, or kits so you can make your own at home.
A single production run upcycles around 10 litres of used cooking oil into candles.
We turn around 100 candles in a day or two, and can scale up to 300+ for bulk orders within a week.
Our DIY kits let you convert your own used cooking oil into a scented candle in about five minutes.
Apple, jasmine, fig milk, spice wood, mojito and clove & cinnamon: pick a favourite, or work through them all.
We collect from cafés and restaurants (higher volumes make it worthwhile), plus friends and family. Every year, 500,000 tonnes of used cooking oil in Malaysia gets discharged without proper treatment, clogging pipes and polluting waterways. We give it somewhere better to go.
Rather than being poured away or downgraded into low-value waste, the oil is processed and set into scented, slow-burning candles: a small way to keep it out of the drain and out of landfill.
Keep your own used cooking oil out of the drain. Our kits let you turn it into a candle at home, so the habit doesn't stop with us.
We can scale up to 300+ candles for bulk orders, wedding favours, or corporate gifting. WhatsApp or email us and we'll sort out scents, quantities, and timing with you directly.
New scents, restocks and the odd behind-the-scenes story. We will only email you about OiLilin, and you can ask us to remove you any time.
