Is Avon Cruelty Free in 2019

Is Avon Cruelty Free in 2019? How can you know for sure that your beauty products are not being tested on animals?

Animal testing on beauty products is a hot topic – and for good reason. If you have seen the shocking videos of animals that are barely recognizable after undergoing cosmetic-industry animal testing, it probably has tugged at your heartstrings. And you may feel compelled to take a stand against animal testing.

So let’s get to it. Is Avon one of the companies that does this to animals? The answer is really simple if you are talking about New Avon Company in the United States. The answer is no.

So why is there a news article from 2012 circulating the internet stating that Avon (amongst other companies) has resumed animal testing?

That is where the answer starts to get a little complicated. New Avon Company in the United States does not test on animals, does not ask anyone else to test on animals and does not sell to countries that test on animals.

The confusion comes in because there are two completely separate companies that operate under the name, Avon.

Cruelty Free 2019? New Avon Company vs Avon Worldwide

The confusion about Avon’s animal testing policy comes into play because Avon Worldwide does sell its products in China and China requires animal testing to be conducted to sell products. However, Avon Worldwide is a completely separate company from New Avon Company. Even though they operate using the same name, they are two different companies – with different owners, different websites, different product portfolios, and different social media channels.

New Avon Company – which only sells product in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico – cannot and does not wish to sell in China. Therefore, New Avon Company in the United States company is cruelty free. Its ingredients are cruelty free. And they do not ask others to test on their behalf.

I am an Avon Representative for New Avon Company in the United States. I have friends overseas that I cannot sell to because of different laws and a different Avon company overseas. One of those laws include China’s requirement on mandatory animal testing. As a result, as a representative with New Avon Company in the United States, I cannot sell to individuals outside of the US, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Animal Welfare Policy – Is Avon Cruelty Free 2019

Commitment to Science…Respect for Animal Welfare

New Avon Company (“Avon”)†, with operations in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, has a deep respect for animal welfare and does not conduct animal testing. New Avon Company does not conduct animal testing on its products or ingredients, nor does it ask others to do so on its behalf.

Avon is a strong advocate of both the ethical and humane treatment of animals and the protection of human health and safety. Our products are developed utilizing alternative testing methods such as extrapolations from existing data, computational modeling, in vitro (test tube/cell culture) testing and clinical tests with human volunteers to ensure both their efficacy and safety.

Consumers can be assured that Avon has not tested on animals any product carrying the Avon name sold in the U.S., Canada or Puerto Rico. These products have undergone rigorous and thorough safety evaluation and can be used with the utmost confidence.

You can read the new New Avon Company (USA) policy on animal testing on their website here.

Avon Worldwide on Animal Testing

Since Avon Worldwide is a completely separate company with different product portfolios and different ownership, you may notice they have a slightly different stance on Animal Testing.

However, this company is completely different from New Avon Company with no affiliation whatsoever. The ownership is different as is the product portfolio, the business model and the website.

You can read Avon Worldwide’s policy on their completely separate website here.

You will note the difference in websites. Avon worldwide uses the domain name AvonWorldwide.com. You will note their policy is different from the one on Avon.com – which is owned by New Avon Company and only operates in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Two Avon’s? With different owners?

Below is a transcript from Wikipedia regarding Avon’s history.

In 2016, Avon completed the separation of its United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico business as New Avon LLC, which also trades with the “Avon” name. As part of a three-year plan, the global Avon Products moved its headquarters to London in the United Kingdom.

In August, 2019, New Avon LLC, the privately-held North American company that split from Avon Products, Inc. (Avon Worldwide) in 2016 has entered into a definitive agreement with South Korean consumer goods giant LG Household & Health Care, Ltd., which will purchase the direct-selling cosmetics business.

Avon and It’s History with Animal Testing

Avon vowed in 1989 that as a company located in the United States, it would no longer participate in animal testing. Avon has since claimed to be working globally to introduce safer methods of testing cosmetics that do not require animals. These methods include in vitro testing, computer simulations, and testing cosmetics on human volunteers.

Business Names VS Trade Names – Why Does it Make Avon Cruelty Free in 2019

While some people find it confusing that there is a distinction between Avon overseas and Avon in the United States, it is not uncommon for separate companies to have similar or identical trade names.

What is a Business Trade Name

The state of Washington accurately defines a business trade name in their state. But their definition is a great one to explain business trade names in the United States.

A trade name is any name used in the course of business that doesn’t include the full legal name of all the owners of the business. In the case of a limited partnership, corporation, or LLC, it’s any name that differs in any respect from the name registered with the Secretary of State.

What Companies are doing business using Avon as their trade name?

Avon Worldwide, which sells only overseas, operates under the trade name “Avon”. Avon Worldwide is owned by Natura.

New Avon Company, which operates only in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, also operates under the trade Name Avon, but is owned by LG H&H.

You will note that the two entities are owned by separate companies and the two companies operate completely different business plans and product portfolios.

You can verify the different product portfolios by looking for differences in the two companies’ websites.

More About the Company

This is the company that puts mascara on lashes and food on tables. That fights wrinkles with one hand and breast cancer with the other. That knows the value of a perfect lip, but still opens its mouth and speaks out against domestic violence and for women’s financial independence. This is the company that not only brings beauty to doors, but also opens them. This is Avon. The company that for over a century has stood for beauty, innovation, optimism and, above all, for women.

What Avon Does for Women

Everyday, Avon brings beauty to the lives of women. At Avon, beauty means more than finding the right lipstick shade for a customer. It means providing an earnings opportunity so a woman can support her family; and championing causes that matter to many women – eradicating breast cancer and ending domestic violence.
