New Avon is going through some changes under the new ownership of parent company LG Household & Health Care, Ltd. While the brand has a longstanding history of award-winning products, industry-leading innovation, and a network of 250,000 sales representatives throughout North America, Avon will now have access to LG H&H’s world-class R&D capabilities in cosmetics, personal care, fragrance, hair care and packaging and design, allowing the brand to benefit from the cutting-edge technology and best-in-class quality of one of Korea’s leading consumer goods companies.
 
Under the LG H&H umbrella, Avon will unveil multiple cross-LG brand partnerships later this year, harnessing top Korean innovation, science and technology.
 
Upcoming collaborations include Avon x The Face Shop—a collection of skincare and makeup in exclusive shade ranges and new-to-Avon formats such as the Korea-beloved “cushion” formulations of foundation, highlighter and blush. A flagship beauty brand for LG H& H, The Face Shop has been a driving force in the Korean cosmetics market since its December 2003 debut.
 
“We couldn’t be more thrilled and excited about our new alliance with LG Household & Health,” said Evy deAngelis, head of sales enablement for New Avon. “As a company, Avon has always served two equally important constituencies: passionate consumers and our community of inspirational representatives. Under the new ownership of LG H&H, known for its pre-eminence in technology and innovation, we’re able to offer our consumers and representatives an unparalleled slate of new initiatives and product offerings.”
 
In addition to Avon x The Face Shop, there’s another collaboration in the works: Avon x Chi, three hair care products crafted from a unique blend of certified organic botanicals including aloe vera, pomegranate and hibiscus.
 
Avon also plans to enact new programs to support upcoming launches as well as the greater brand in hopes of growing and diversifying their consumer and representative base. This includes a new gift program with Swarovski Crystal that recognizes top team builders. While product offerings and partnerships may be modernizing, Avon will continue their proud history of empowering women through economic opportunity and entrepreneurship.
