Our story


La Petite Creme is Fanny's (the brunette) and Cecile's (the blond) crazy adventure that started back in 2012 as a fun experiment in the kitchen. When Cecile's daughter Juliette was born, she could not find the traditional French diapering lotion that Juliette's nanny Fanny was raving about from her baby care provider days back in France.

So we hit the kitchen one day and started making it. The epic fail of this first attempt generated a lot of laughter and sealed a bond between us like no other. 
 


 

We finally mastered the recipe for personal use 2 years later when Cecile's son Tom was born (whose Godmother was no other than Fanny herself). At that point, life had thrown a few curve-balls at both of us but we knew one thing: our relationship would sustain any hiccup. 
 

When Cecile's pediatrician commented one day: "I wonder why my French patients are less bothered by diaper rash..." we realized our homemade lotion could maybe serve other Mums in need... And just like that, La Petite Creme was born.
 


 

We hit the road with a truck load of products and our French accent to attend every weekend Baby show in Florida for a year. Your response was overwhelmingly positive. Your testimonials and experiences with our products confirmed that we were on the right track. We obtained our USDA Organic certification in 2017 to prove to you our commitment to quality. 
 

In the last 4.5 years, we have filled over 35,000 bottles with our handmade product in Cecile's home at night and on weekends (in parallel of our full times corporate jobs). What started in the kitchen rapidly took over the guest bedroom (storage, office), the dining room (labeling, kiting) and the living room (handling, shipping).
 


 

When Fanny's daughter's Zoey was born in 2019, demand was so high that it became unbearable for our families to continue this way. We knew we only had 2 choices: 

  1. Hang up our aprons and focus on our families and our well-being
  2. Give our "side gig" a real shot at growth by giving it our all 
     

It took a few months to transition properly but finally on January 1st 2020, we officially both became full-time Mompreneurs.
 


 

The first pressing item on the agenda was to find a space - our own space...
We found the perfect 1,800 sqft space that will welcome our factory, offices and warehouse in Miami (a 15 minute drive from home). The lease is signed and we expect to get the keys shortly.

 

What your donation will go towards

 

We need tables and shelving to store and use along with our existing manufacturing equipment. All must be stainless steel for sanitary reasons and to comply with our Organic certification. 

We also need platform trucks, lift tables and pallet trucks to make our work less physically painful. Our bodies are currently not liking lifting hundreds of pounds a day, we need to save ourselves.

We also need furniture and equipment for our office space.

Everything over the campaign goal will go toward small manufacturing equipment to speed up our manufacturing process and make our work easier: capping machine, semi-automatic filling machine, laser lot numbering machine... 

 

We plan to buy used equipment and furniture whenever available.

 

Our promises
 

Every baby deserves a healthy bum and our mission is to provide comfort and relief to as many babies and families as we can. We promise, first and foremost, that we will always make every decision regarding our business and products with your little one in mind.

We are here today because you believe in our products and our Brand. No matter how big we grow, we also promise you we will not compromise on the following: 

  • Organic: we will maintain the highest quality standards when it comes to our ingredients and our manufacturing processes and continue to offer USDA Organic Certified products.
  • Hand made: we want to continue touching every single product that comes out of our doors. Our products will continue to be freshly made in small batches with a limited shelf life. We will use machinery to manufacture faster but we will not turn into an all-automated facility. 
  • Sustainable: we will continue using  eco-friendly manufacturing practices and improve our packaging.
  • US made: we are committed to giving preference to US suppliers, ingredients and raw material.
