Are some ingredients only usable once?

I had this game on the wii (it was one of my favorites) and I am playing it on emulator since yesterday, and when I defeated residentula (the first boss) I remembered something I was wondering as a child, are ingredients/pieces you get for beating bosses (clown shoes, turnip head...) only available/usable once? , because I would like to use my clown shoes for the mallet arm, but if it means I can't craft any other piece with this ingredient, I guess I have to wait for tier 4 secondary ingredients
