Our products are all natural: no preservatives. Simply herbs, oils, salts, gems, beeswax, candlewax, honey, vinegar or water. But natural comes at a cost: shelf-life. We recommend that you use any item within six months. When not in use, keep the item in a cool, dry place with the lid securely on. When in use, keep the lid on and try to eliminate oxygen bubbles in the product by encouraging them to come to the surface. These actions help deter the inevitable rancidity that will occur with oills and organic material. Be mindful of heat, light, oxygen and water at all times, as these encourage rancidity. This is especially true for our sprays, which contain water, a vital component that bacteria need to grow. A good indicator of rancidity is smell. As your product sits, the herbs will meld with the oil, giving it a scent. Sometimes as they get stronger, the smell of that meld may not be agreeable. However, it is a strong, unfavorable scent that will be the result of rancidity. When that happens, it's time for a new product.

Our mission has always been to provide legitimately hand-made, made-to-order items for your particular need, from one practitioner to another. Our business has one practitioner and creator: Sarah. She places each herb in the bottle or jar, ensuring that the aesthetics of your items are as intense as the enchantment she charges your item with. She hand-writes each label, writes and designs each spell, writes all site copy and so on. In short, 100% of The Tiny Cauldron is done with only two hands. As the business grew, Sarah wanted to maintain her way of crafting her magick; it is a way she sets her enchanted store from others in the industry, and she realizes that this, too, has it's drawbacks, including elongated processing time. Sarah prides herself on maintaining her ethos in spite of now operating at full order volume at all times, and she continues to source 90% of materials from only small businesses that have the same focus on ethos and authenticity. In short, businesses tend to drift more toward supporting huge corporations and buy or make their items on a massive scale for quickness. While this works for some businesses, it is not in our ethos to become part of this profit-driven process, no matter how big we get. Witchcraft and the cunning practice- the true, traditional way- is slow. It is deliberate. It is personal. And so is the process. This means that our processing time (the time it takes for Sarah to craft your order) is often significantly delayed, with that time frame depending on your particular order and plants in season. Please reach out to Sarah at tinycauldron@gmail.com for any worries or concerns about your order, as well as updates. We understand that this wait may be too long for some or that some don't agree with our business mindset. That's OK! We are happy to give refunds or an update as to the status of your order and our supplies. We reply as quickly as we can, 5 business days a week.
