Avon Products Inc is a well-known worldwide producer and distributor of skincare, cosmetics, and household items has been in business for the past 126 years (since 1886) was founded by David McConnell. Avon Products Inc operates in over 140 countries. I believe in Avon because I sell the products on a part-time basis for the past three years. The impact of Avon’s mission, vision, and primary stakeholders on its overall success is determined by the company’s revenue, awards, recognition, and their business strategy to remain the leading cosmetic company throughout the world.
Founded in 1886, Avon Products, Inc. (Avon) is the world’s largest direct seller of beauty and beauty-related products.
Avon has been committed to being the company for women since 1886, and for over 125 years we have taken very seriously our responsibility to improve the lives of women.

As a leading global provider of cosmetics, personal care and related products, we at Avon continue to strengthen our commitment to such critical areas as economic empowerment, environmental stewardship and product responsibility as we work to create a brighter tomorrow.
