Candle & Wax Melt Safety

🕯️ Candle & Wax Melt Safety Guidelines

Please read before using your BrookieGirl products. Your safety is our top priority.

🔥 General Candle Safety

  • Always trim wick to ¼ inch before lighting.

  • Burn candles in 3-hour intervals or less (except cupcakes & flowers; see below).

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.

  • Keep candles away from flammable objects (curtains, décor, papers).

  • Burn on a level, heat-resistant surface away from drafts.

  • Keep candles out of reach of pets and children.

  • Allow candle to cool completely before moving.

⚠️ REMEMBER: THIS IS WAX. HEAT, DO NOT EAT!

🍨 Dessert Candle Safety (Jar Candles)

Our dessert jar candles have whipped wax and decorative embeds for a dessert-like look.

  • Trim wick to ¼ inch before the first burn.

  • First burn: 10 minutes only, then extinguish, allow to cool fully, and relight if desired.

  • Following burns: 2.5–3 hours max per session.

  • Never exceed 3 hours of continuous burn time.

  • Remove decorative wax embeds (toppings) before burning.

  • Use embeds separately in a wax warmer as melts.

  • Always burn on a heat-resistant, level surface.

  • Discontinue use when ½ inch of wax remains.

🧁 Cupcake & 🌸 Flower Candle Safety (Freestanding)

Cupcake, mini cupcake, and flower candles are freestanding candles (not in jars). They need extra care:

  • Always place on a heat-safe surface at least 5 inches wide (plate, glass, ceramic, or other heat-resistant tray).

  • As the candle melts, wax will expand and spread across the plate — the plate will catch overflow safely.

  • Melted wax can be reused in a wax warmer.

  • Never burn directly on countertops or furniture.

  • Trim wick to ¼ inch before each use.

  • Burn in 1-hour increments only. Extinguish, allow to cool, then relight if desired.

  • Remove decorative wax embeds before lighting; use them as wax melts.

  • Stop use when ½ inch of wax remains.

💡 Wickless Candles & Wax Melts

Wickless candles and wax melts are for warmers only.

  • Use an electric wax warmer (15–25W) or a UL-listed tea-light warmer.

  • Session length: 2–4 hours per warming cycle.

  • Place warmer on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts.

  • Do not overfill warmer dish (keep ½–⅔ full max).

  • Do not add water, oils, or other substances.

  • Do not move warmer while wax is liquid.

  • For wickless candles: place on a plate-style warmer with a heat-safe tray beneath it, since the entire candle may soften/melt down.

  • Replace wax using cotton-ball or chill-and-pop methods.

  • Never pour melted wax down drains.

🐾 Pet & Child Safety

  • Keep all candles, warmers, and wax melts away from pets and children.

  • Some fragrance oils may cause irritation.

  • Products are for fragrance use only.
