         6 . The cream jar according to  claim 5 , wherein the anti-rotation means comprises a contour on the inner container of the inner jar and a corresponding mating contour on the outer jar, the contour and the mating contour having a shape other than a circular shape. 
     
     
         7 . The cream jar according to  claim 5 , wherein the contour of the anti-rotation means is realized on an outer wall of the inner container of the inner jar, an inner wall of the inner container having an essentially circular contour. 
     
     
         8 . The cream jar according to  claim 5 , wherein the mating contour of the anti-rotation means is formed by a radial edge web of the outer jar disposed on a container neck of the outer jar. 
     
     
         9 . The cream jar according to  claim 1 , wherein the axial edge web of the inner container forms the latching element of the latching connection and the mating thread of the lid member on opposite sides, the latching element being formed on an inner wall of the axial edge web and the mating thread being formed on an outer wall of the axial edge web. 
     
     
         10 . The cream jar according to  claim 1 , wherein the inner jar has a radial edge web, said radial edge web being disposed between the inner container and the axial edge of the inner jar, the radial edge web being in contact with an inner wall of the lid when the inner container of the inner jar is closed with the lid member. 
     
     
         11 . The cream jar according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid member has an insert, said insert being disposed on the inner wall of the lid, the insert being in contact with the radial edge web of the inner jar when the inner container of the inner jar is closed with the lid member. 
     
     
         12 . The cream jar according to  claim 11 , wherein the insert of the lid member is connected to the inner wall of the lid in a form-fitting manner. 
     
     
         13 . The cream jar according to  claim 11  wherein the insert of the lid member has an edge which engages into a groove of the inner wall of the lid. 
     
     
         14 . The cream jar according to  claim 1 , wherein the outer jar has an opening at its underside, ajar bottom of the inner jar being accessible from outside through said opening of the outer jar. 
     
     
         15 . The cream jar according to  claim 14 , wherein the opening of the outer jar has a diameter which corresponds to at least a diameter of a human finger. 
     
     
         16 . The cream jar according to  claim 1 , wherein the lid is a hollow body, said hollow body being composed of at least two connected lid elements. 
     
     
         17 . The cream jar according to  claim 16 , wherein the lid elements of the lid are bonded to each other. 
     
     
         18 . The cream jar according to  claim 16 , wherein the lid elements of the lid are welded or glued together. 
     
     
         19 . The cream jar according to  claim 1  wherein the outer jar is a hollow body, said hollow body being composed of at least two bonded outer jar elements. 
     
     
         20 . The cream jar according to  claim 19 , wherein the outer jar elements of the outer jar are welded or glued together.
