The Azlok Electronic Digital Weighing Scale is a compact, battery-powered device that measures the weight of an object up to 10 kg and shows the reading on a clear LCD screen. For anyone making soap, candles or cosmetics at home, it takes the guesswork out of measuring ingredients and gives you consistent, repeatable results every time.
Why a digital scale matters for DIY makers
Recipes for soap, candles and skincare are built on ratios by weight, not by cups or spoons. A few grams of extra fragrance oil or lye can change how a batch behaves. A digital scale reads in small increments and displays the number for you, so you are not squinting at a dial or estimating. This is where an accurate scale earns its keep.
Common uses include:
- Soap making — weighing oils, lye and water precisely so your recipe saponifies correctly.
- Candle making — measuring wax, fragrance oils and additives for a clean, even burn.
- Cosmetic formulations — creams, balms, scrubs and serums where percentages must add up to 100.
- Kitchen and baking — flour, spices, coffee and portioning ingredients.
- Small business packing — checking product weights before dispatch.
How to use it correctly
Getting reliable numbers is simple once you build the habit:
- Place the scale on a flat, hard, level surface. Soft or uneven tables throw off readings.
- Insert the two AA batteries (included) and switch it on. Let the display settle to zero.
- Put your empty bowl or container on the platform, then press the tare button to reset to zero. This subtracts the container weight so you only measure the ingredient.
- Add your ingredient slowly until you reach the target weight.
- Tare again between ingredients if you are layering several into the same bowl.
The tare function is the feature you will use most. It lets you weigh multiple components in one container without maths.
Tips for accurate, long-lasting results
- Keep the scale away from draughts, fans and vibration while weighing.
- Do not exceed the 10 kg limit — overloading can damage the sensor.
- Wipe the platform after spills, but never submerge the scale in water. It is a plastic, electronic device.
- Weigh in a consistent unit (grams for small batches) so your recipe notes stay reliable.
- If readings drift, replace the batteries; low power is the usual culprit.
- Store it flat in a dry place, not on its side under heavier items.
A quick honest note: this is a general-purpose scale with a 10 kg capacity, well suited to everyday DIY and kitchen work. For laboratory-grade micro-measurements below a fraction of a gram, a specialised precision balance is a better tool.
Buying and storage
The Azlok Electronic Digital Weighing Scale is priced at ₹349 and comes in packs of 1, 2 or 5 units — handy if you run a small workshop or want a backup. It measures 255mm x 184mm x 48mm, weighs little, and is easy to tuck into a drawer between projects. The white plastic body and digital LCD keep it light and readable.
Because it is battery-powered, keep a spare set of AA batteries on hand so a low battery never interrupts a batch. Please note the store policy: no refunds, exchanges or returns are accepted once the product has been used, so check the scale as soon as it arrives.
FAQ
What is the maximum weight this scale can measure?
It has a weight limit of 10 kg. Stay within this range to protect the internal sensor and get accurate readings.
Does it need batteries and are they included?
Yes, it runs on 2 AA batteries, and they are included in the box, so you can start using it right away.
Can I use it for soap and candle making?
Absolutely. It is recommended for cosmetic formulations, candle making, soap making and general kitchen use, where weighing ingredients by mass matters.
What does the tare button do?
Tare resets the display to zero after you place an empty container on the platform, so you measure only the ingredient and not the bowl.
How do I keep it accurate over time?
Use it on a flat, level surface, avoid overloading it, keep it dry, and replace the batteries when readings start to drift.
