Home made Lavender bar soap.



As far back 2500 B.C... clay tablets from near the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers were found that make mention of the use of soap. In 1802, a French Chemist Nicolas Leblanc found a way to make lye from salt, a far easier and less expensive way to make soap. In 1806, William Colgate opened Colgate & Company in New York buying a giant kettle to make 45,000 lbs soap bathes in becoming first big soap manufacturing company in America. He was followed by William Procter and James Gamble, who had an employee that left for lunch one day and left the soap mixing machine on, beating air into the soap batch unintentionally creating the world's first floating soap IVORY.

Recently, I successfully made my first batch of lavender bar soap. Its takes me long time to figure out the formula. In the future, I will continue to working for my bar soap project to receive my patent.

Ingredients : Sodium Tallowate, Sodium Cocoate, Olive Oil, Water, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Essential Oil .



Thank you for all your supports my friends and family.

 

What do you see from your space at work?

I am very sure that most of us spend our day starting at a computer screen but if you can look beyond that spreadsheet, what do you see?

As you can see below, I have a lovely view from my room. We have the tracking company parking spot to the left and the emission test station to the right. I am happy to be able to see outside area from my workplace.  

I want to know what people see from their workspace?

Illinois Governor visited in our facility

Today is very special day for our facility because Illinois Governor Pat Quinn visited our company. We didn't know who is coming until he arrived at 2.30 pm. After he made short tour in our company, he met with our company employees in lunch room. Gov.Quinn said ''I want to thank all of you and I appreciated your hard work. I has devoted my life to standing up for the working people of Illinois" He came with about 30 people including his 2 body guards and press people. I didn't take too many pictures because I scared from his body guards. But he shook hands with me with warm smile and he told me "Thank you for your service". I said "Your welcome". The above, our lab people took picture with Gov.Quinn and our company president. He leaves shortly after this meeting because he needs to go New Ford Plant which is opened South Side of Chicago. "The production of the new Ford Explorer will create 1,200 new jobs in Illinois and make way for a brighter economic future,” said Governor Quinn. Today, Ford Motor Company announced that company is investing nearly $400 million in Chicago-area manufacturing facilities to increase production and staff.
