When most people think about Avon UK, they think of the brochure landing on the doormat, or maybe the classic "Ding Dong" from the adverts. But after years of being an Avon Sales Leader, I’ve learned that the lipstick and mascara are just the surface. Underneath, there is a powerhouse of charity, science, and empowerment that most people have no idea about.

We often talk about the "Avon Glow"—that feeling when you find a skincare product that works or a lipstick that makes you feel confident. But there is another kind of glow that comes with this brand. It’s the warm feeling of knowing that the company you support is actively changing lives.

We often talk about the "Gig Economy" or "Side Hustles" like they are new inventions of the 21st century. But the truth is, Avon invented the side hustle 139 years ago.

It is a specific question of ethics that potential customers ask us every day: Is Avon cruelty free? For a long time, the beauty industry was murky on this. But today, I am incredibly proud to give you a clear, definitive answer.
