Origin & Lore

Better Business is a long-standing condition oil from the hoodoo tradition, made to improve trade and help a business financially. It is worked to draw customers, encourage sales and keep money flowing through the doors.

Long before marketing budgets, small shop owners kept a bottle like this near the register and dressed the door every morning.

Business oils are among the oldest commercial products of the spiritual-supply trade, and catalogs of the early twentieth century list them alongside powders, washes and incense for the same purpose. Scrubbing the step and threshold inward to draw trade is one of the best-documented hoodoo customs for shops.
