someone contacted Avon in regards to whether their products were suitable for vegans/vegetarians, here is their reply below.
( Dear Ms
Thank you for your recent enquiry concerning Avon products suitable forvegans.
Please be assured that Avon practise strict quality control procedures toensure that a product is only marketed once we are entirely happy withthe overall performance in terms of safety and quality. All our products gothrough rigorous safety testing procedures both for raw ingredients andfinished formulations before they are released. A large proportion ofAvon products are free from animal ingredients, however some products do contain ingredients derived from animal sources. I can assure you that any ingredients of this nature are by-products of the food industry and that no animals are destroyed purely to provide ingredients for Avon products.
Due to the extensive range of products in our current range, which isconstantly changing, to provide a list of those containing specificingredients would take considerable work and resources. At this point intime, our Quality Department is unable to undertake an exercise toproduce a list. However, all Avon products now declare a list of ingredients on the packaging or product in accordance with EU legislation.
Our Quality Department have advised me, Avon do not use any animal by products. Lipsticks are primarily a mixture of Oils, Waxes andPigments. The Oils used are mainly vegetable or petrochemical origin. The waxes are natural, such as Beeswax or Petrochemical, e.g. Microcrystalline Petrolium Wax. The pigments are chemically approved for the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Industry. Some ingredients used by Avon and throughout the Cosmetic Industry are chemical derivatives of materials obtained as by-products of the food industry.
We are often asked to recommend lipsticks suitable for vegetarians.Avon's Colour Trend range of lipsticks contain lanolin, which many vegetarians find acceptable because lanolin is derived from the fleece of sheep.
I hope you will find this information helpful.
Yours sincerely
