Candle & Wax Melt Safety — Cozy, But Make It Safe

Candles and wax melts should feel like comfort, not a fire drill. This is where we keep the safety guidelines that match every Candles by Christie label and product page, so you can light, melt, and relax with confidence.

Start with the Safety Guide

Our safety guide is the same checklist we use in the studio — simple, clear, and built for real homes (kids, pets, and busy counters included).

  • Read the full Candle & Wax Melt Safety Guidelines .
  • How far to keep flames from décor, curtains, and drafts.
  • Trim-wick tips to reduce soot and tunneling.
  • How long to burn each session for jar candles.

Wax Melts & Warmers

Flameless doesn’t mean thoughtless. Wax melts still need a little attention to stay safe and smell amazing.

  • How much wax to use in a warmer dish.
  • Ventilation and placement tips for small rooms.
  • What to do when the scent fades (and when to swap melts).

Every jar candle and wax melt in the Jarred Joy and Seasonal Scents collections is designed with these guidelines in mind — same safety language, same cozy-first, worry-less energy.

Pro tip: If a candle flame ever looks too tall, flickery, or smoky, pause your cozy — blow it out, trim the wick to about 1/4", and relight once everything has cooled. Your jar (and lungs) will thank you.
