In addition to having an internal staff of research and development experts, Avon works with renowned scientists all over the world to ensure we continue to provide affordable, state-of-the art products, while pushing the boundaries of beauty innovation and product technology.
Quality control
Product quality and safety are of paramount importance to Avon, and the company seeks to ensure that products meet our very high standards by controlled laboratory tests at every stage of development and manufacture. Volunteers are invited to try our products to help evaluate their efficacy and to ensure that they are both easy and pleasant to use.
Environmental responsibility
Around the world, Avon has systems in place to reduce packaging waste and energy consumption, and to promote and measure re-use or recycling wherever possible.
New packaging materials and production methods are evaluated as they are developed and Avon challenges itself to ensure that products and business operations fulfill a healthy balance between meeting consumer demands and being responsible towards the environment.
