Avon - The Company for Women - Corporate Responsibility

Global Product Safety Standard

Although regulatory requirements may differ from country to country, we maintain a single, global product safety standard for the nearly 1,000 beauty products created in our labs every year, as follows:

The safety of every product must be substantiated prior to product introduction. We will be vigilant in monitoring the safety of our products in the hands of consumers. We will remove any ingredient from our cosmetic products should new evidence emerge that would no longer support its safe use.

We also maintain a separate policy that establishes a single global safety and quality assurance process specifically for non-beauty products. Non-beauty products must comply with all local regulatory and all corporate safety requirements prior to safety approval.
