We are a truly international company, operating in over 150 countries worldwide, through a network of over 5 million independent Sales Representatives.

Our Vision "to be the company that best understands and satisfies the product, service and self-fulfillment needs of women” - is central to everything we do.

It is pivotal in every technological advance; in our community involvement; in our continuing efforts to provide a better product; and in improving our service to Representatives and their Customers.

The key attraction and success of our business is that it involves people. We bring a level of financial independence to many women, as well as a level of social contact confidence and friendship. This unique human touch is a key strength in our company.

We are very proud of the products that we sell and the fact that we are one of the market leaders in every beauty category.

We commit large amounts to product research. The Avon Research and Development Laboratories are located in Suffern, New York, where an international group of specialists works with world-renowned scientific institutions to develop beauty products that meet the needs of women globally.

We were the first major beauty company to stop animal testing. Moreover, have been first to market with many innovations. For example, Avon was the first to bring AHA products to the marketplace.

Another, very important part of the self-fulfillment aspect of Avon's vision is our commitment to women's health, and in particular, the breast cancer cause.
