Unilever was created in 1890 by William Hesketh Lever to produce soap. In the 1900s, Unilever expanded into products made from oils and fats like soap and margarine. Today, Unilever owns many popular brands and seeks to create products that improve people's lives and help them feel good. Some of Unilever's most well-known brands include Ben & Jerry's, Lynx, PG Tips, Magnum, and Dove. Ben & Jerry's ice cream started in 1978 with a mail-order ice cream making course and has since expanded, creating innovations like the Cowmobile ice cream truck.
