This is not ok. You see that spark on the bottom of the photo? That is the glass and the label trying to start a fire and release you of your life.
Please practice safe candle burning practices. If it is a three-wick, and especially if those wicks are moving around, you cannot burn it more than an hour and a half while you are present. If you see your flame sticks trying to move towards the glass, that's an indicator that the candle is done. If you have a warmer, whether it's one of those coffee mug warmers from the bottom for like five bucks at some places, or an overhead warmer that you can get for like $15 from home goods... Warm it, don't burn it.
I'm still going to stand by one of the safest candles to burn is a single wick Yankee candle. They've recently upgraded to a more sustainable wax blend, primarily coconut and soy with some paraffin and others. They no longer suggest a minimum of 4 hours, like they did for the paraffin which is the more like see-through hard wax older candles if you're not familiar... But you really don't want to let them burn more than 3 hours even in the single wick now especially if unattended.
