What REALLY Happened to AVON? (AVON History)

Avon was once the queen of cosmetics—until scandals, lawsuits, and bankruptcy knocked her crown askew. From multimillion-dollar bribes in China to talc-related cancer lawsuits and a $135 million fine, Avon’s story is more shocking than most true crime documentaries.

But it wasn’t always this way. In the 1970s, Avon Ladies ruled the suburbs with catalogs in hand and pink Cadillacs in the driveway. Products like Skin So Soft, Sweet Honesty, and those tiny lipstick samples were in nearly every American home.

So what really happened to Avon? And why are there now two Avons—one still selling makeup, the other in bankruptcy court?

Let’s go behind the catalog and uncover the rise, fall, and messy rebirth of this iconic brand.
