Happy 10th Anniversary πŸ€—πŸ‹




Hi everyone!

We have made a fresh batch of our Lemon Butter Creams and are working on packaging them now! They will be ready for delivery from the 21-24th just in time for those last minute Christmas stocking stuffers or host/hostess gifts. 

This year is our 10th anniversary of making Creams. Wyatt and I started when I was 10 and he was 8. Since 2011 our creams were $10 and we were so happy to not have raised our prices for the last 10 years as many of our friends were like us and not able to afford the high prices of organic safe skincare products. Sadly, shipping costs and ingredients have all increased over the last 10 years and sadly we have to accommodate these changes. 

Moving forward our creams are now $15 so that we can continue to maintain our high standards of quality ingredients that are important to us and that you have all come to expect from us. We wanted to thank you all for your loyalty and support all of these years. Your continued support means so much to us! Happy holidays and stay safeπŸ’›

Lots of love,

From the Lemon Jar πŸ‹

For those of you who are just like us and dread undergoing the forever pressure of finding that perfect gift; we can help you.  Every Holiday season, Wyatt and I make a fresh batch of our Lemon Butter Creams. It sounds as if you could almost eat them! And although you could... they make for better skin care products instead. Our creams are made from all natural ingredients that include Fair Trade Organic Shea Butter from Uganda and Raw Organic Coconut Oil. No chemicals. Ever.

And here’s the best part; hate waiting in long lines and having to wrap dozens of presents yourself? Well we’ve got you covered. We wrap and package every glass jar in fresh colours of tissue paper and deliver them right to your doorstep from December 18th to 23rd - just before Christmas. 


We sell our creams in 60ml glass jars for $10 and by purchasing them, you are also supporting women and children both here and in Uganda. For more information check out our blog at KIDS CANADA
