Avon Beauty and Personal Care Products

Avon is a globally recognized pioneer in the beauty industry, famous for its direct-selling model and 'Avon Ladies.' Founded in 1886 in the United States by David H. McConnell, the brand initially began as the California Perfume Company before being renamed Avon in 1939. It has grown to become a household name in cosmetics, skincare, and fragrance.

In early 2020, Avon Products, Inc. was acquired by the Brazilian beauty conglomerate Natura &Co. This acquisition created one of the world's largest pure-play beauty groups. While Natura &Co owns the global business, the North American operations (Avon North America) were separated and are currently owned by the South Korean company LG H&H. This dual-ownership structure means the brand's trajectory is now managed primarily out of Brazil for global markets and South Korea for North America.

Manufacturing for Avon products is highly decentralized to support its international footprint. The company utilizes a network of manufacturing facilities located in countries such as Poland, Mexico, and China, as well as third-party suppliers across South America and Asia. This helps ensure that the brand can meet the demands of its massive representative base and consumer network across several continents.
