Featured Cruelty-Free Company: Avon

While some large companies continue the cruel and outdated practice of testing on animals (click here for details), hundreds of companies have gone cruelty-free.

In 1989, Avon Products, Inc., became the first major cosmetics company worldwide to end all animal testing for its products and ingredients. Meeting the needs of women and their families is of paramount importance to Avon, which is why the funds that it raises through the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade are only used for programs and services that help women directly, not for funding cruel and irrelevant animal research.

For more than 100 years, Avon associates have created personal relationships with their customers while gaining valuable entrepreneurial experience. Throughout the world, Avon devotees revel from head to toe in a vast array of colorful, innovative products, including lines designed for every stage of life, every climate, and every skin type and color.

Avon cosmetics are world-renowned for their superior quality and value. Whether you're looking for a plumping lip color, protection from the sun, or that perfect shade of shadow, stay-true color and a flawless application ensure that you'll always look your best.

No matter what you choose, you can rest easy knowing that when you choose Avon, your beauty doesn't come with the high price tag of animal suffering. Avon products are available on the Web and through the company's worldwide network of independent representatives.
