Avon - first company to stop animal testing (1989)
June 2, 1989 was the day when Avon (cosmetics) became the first company to stop animal testing for their products.**
Avon is the proud recipient of the CAAT (Centre for Alternatives to Animal Testing) Award from John Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health. In 2005, Avon was also given an award from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) for the “Best Cruelty-Free Cosmetics” category.
Thank you Avon for being a leader and the first to step up for what is right for animals!
Congratulations on twelve years of animal testing free production!
** It is important to note the difference between companies who do not test on animals and do not use products from other companies who do not test on animals, versus companies who use products from other companies who DO test on animals. Be sure to check this information carefully when purchasing cosmetics.
A company can say they do not test on animals and while this statement is true, the companies who supply ingredients and supplies may still test on animals. Avon and their suppliers do not test on animals.

Hi, my name's Mike and I am a huge supporter of PETA and animal conservation. There is a beatiful but endangered animal known as the snow leopard wich is in desperate need of some help. I’m working on a project to get some larger corporations to work on saving them. Apple Computers has a new program out called the Snow Leopard- I think for PR opportunities there’s a chance we could get them to help out! I’ve got a FB page- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tucson-AZ/Snow-Leopard-Conservation/127541594840. Please check it out!
to anon,
I'm an apple user and I have downloaded there new application. I agree with you when it comes to them being able to use the pr opportunities with the conservation groups.
