History of this product will blow your mind
Hi everyone I hope you all are enjoying December the last month of the year.. you know every year last month gives me a ton of thought about what I have done the entire way or as a couple ..as a team … It’s definitely a mixed feeling . A few days back I read the brand history of Lux one of the famous brands for cosmetics and soaps. Then I decided to write the history of this famous brand in my own way. And today here it is.
Lux soap was first produced in the United Kingdom in 1899. It was produced by the British company name Lever Brothers. The company, which began as Lever and Co, was named Lever Brothers in 1890.
Lever Brothers was founded in 1885 by William Hesketh Lever and his brother James. They use glycerin and vegetable oil such as palm oil to manufacture soap called “Sunlight Soap.” Over the next few decades, the Lever Company joined with other European companies that were making margarine and other products from fats and oils.
The flaked version of soap is called Lux soap. Lux means ‘light’ and ‘hints at ‘luxury’.
Lever opened their small office in New York in 1895. The company started selling Sunlight and Lifebuoy but did not do well until 1916. Lux soap was first launched in the United States in 1916. The Lux trademark was registered in the United States in 1900.
Hope you like the brand story of Lux and do you use Lux?
