I'm playing wiki-facts here, but Unilever bought one of the breakup companies in 1987. The Unilever conglomerate established itself very much without being part of Standard Oil.

I checked up and you are quite correct. Unilever bought Ponds which in turn grew out of a vaseline manufacturer previously owned by Standard Oil.
