Is Avon cruelty-free? Find out now! Logical Harmony helps make cruelty-free easy!
Avon has been around for decades. They make cosmetics and skincare and are well known worldwide. While most people know them as Avon, in 2016 Avon split into two different companies (more details on that later) – New Avon and Avon Products. Today Avon Products made an announcement about their stance on animal testing that was very promising to see. For those in the UK and Europe, this could be especially exciting!
Avon Products become a partner with Humane Society International (HSI) earlier this year to support their #BeCrueltyFree Campaign. This campaign is pushing for an end to animal testing worldwide through regulatory change. Personally, I have a lot of respect for Humane Society International. They are pushing hard for regulatory change which is not an easy process, and they have gotten a lot of large companies to see the value in and support the movement too. While not all of these companies are cruelty-free themselves, like Unilever, they are big players in the beauty space and they can have a lot of power when it comes to influencing change. Regulatory change is a slow process and takes a lot of tedious work. What the team at HSI is doing is amazing and seeing big brands join them in pushing things forward is exciting too.
In addition to Humane Society International, Avon Products also says that they are supporting Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments (FRAME) and the Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS) and their work to end animal testing.
Avon Products raised some interest (and caused some head-scratching) with the announcements of these partnerships. They were actively selling in physical stores in China at the time, and taking part in required by law animal testing. Avon has long been known as a Brand to Avoid and not a Cruelty-Free Brand. Keep in mind that I am not publishing that they are now a Logical Harmony Approved Cruelty-Free Brand, but today’s announcement is giving me some hope in change. It’s a step and steps do matter. They add up. I wanted to break it down for you and take the time to explain the ins and outs of the update. I hope it gives you some hope as well.
