http://www.avonworldwide.com/ Avon Media Centre /global/news/Her-Wisdom- Nine products. Three ancient ingredients. One powerful idea: the most effective beauty secrets in the world are the ones women have trusted for generations.  Avon is launching Her Wisdom, a breakthrough new body care brand arriving in September 2026. Rooted in the authentic beauty rituals of women from across Africa, China and Egypt, Her Wisdom translates centuries of time-tested knowledge into nine luxurious, efficacious products across three distinct ingredient collections.  The concept behind Her Wisdom is a simple but powerful one: while our busy social feeds are full of beauty advice, there exists a quieter, deeper wisdom that has been passed from mother to daughter for generations. These are beauty secrets forged by women living in extreme conditions, refined over centuries, and proven by time itself. Her Wisdom by Avon exists to share this knowledge with women everywhere, wrapped in unique textures and sensorial formats.  Baobab, the Tree of Life  The hero collection within Her Wisdom is built around baobab, the Tree of Life. Long revered by women across the African savannah as a secret weapon against the most punishing conditions, baobab oil has been passed down through generations as the ultimate skin-nourishing ritual. Its ability to help deeply nourish and restore the skin’s barrier, even against winds, rains and extreme heat, has made it one of the most trusted ingredients in African beauty heritage.  “My mother and grandmother showed me the power of Baobab Oil when I was a child. It’s very respected in my community. We call Baobab the Tree of Life. It saved my very dry skin and made it beautiful again.” Vulry, South Africa  Avon’s Her Wisdom Baobab collection harnesses the most potent actives from the baobab plant, combining baobab extract and baobab oil to deeply nourish, restore the skin’s barrier and deliver visibly stronger, more resilient skin. The collection is infused with a cocooning, woody gourmand scent of warm dusk, designed to last all day.  The Baobab collection includes three products:  Whipped Oil Body Cream: deeply nourishing, this rich yet lightweight formula visibly restores the skin’s barrier while protecting against dryness with clinically proven 72-hour moisture1. 9/10 women said it works like a luxurious product2.  Hydrating Skin and Hair Perfume Mist: a highly concentrated mist with notes of sparkling mandarin, addictive vanilla and warm baobab for a warm cocooning scent that lasts all day3.  Intensely Restoring Wonderbalm: a non-greasy, multi-use rescue balm for elbows, knees, heels and cuticles. Instantly forming a protective barrier on the skin4, while helping maintain the skin barrier and improve texture. 9/10 women said it makes skin look healthy5.  The Collection: Osmanthus and Sim Sim  Her Wisdom launches with two further collections, each rooted in the beauty rituals of women from a different part of the world.  Osmanthus, the Flower of Kindness, draws on the centuries-old wisdom of Chinese women, who have long used osmanthus flowers to keep delicate, easily irritated skin beautifully flawless. Avon elevated this ancient wisdom, distilling the most potent actives through an extra purified osmanthus extract, making it even more efficacious and relevant for the modern needs of women everywhere. The Osmanthus collection is specially formulated for sensitive skin, wrapped in the comforting, floral fruity scent of delicate blooms, with juicy lychee and warm amber. It includes a Velvety Soft Body Soufflé, the Sensitive Skin and Hair Perfume Mist, and the Comforting Hand Elixir.  Sim Sim, the Queen of Oils, is inspired by the ancient Egyptian tradition of Sim Sim oil, a beauty secret passed down from Cleopatra’s era by women living in sun-dried deserts to keep their skin glowing with health. Rich in omega 6 and 9, the Sim Sim collection delivers lasting radiance and an uplifting, floral amber scent of sunshine. It includes the Whipped Oil Body Cream, the Caring Skin and Hair Perfume Mist, and the Indulgent Glow Bath and Shower Oil.  Kristof Neirynck, CEO at Avon says, “Her Wisdom represents everything Avon stands for: beauty that is real, purposeful and built with our community, not just for them. We have listened to the authentic stories of women around the world, uncovered their most powerful and trusted beauty secrets, and distilled them into a collection that genuinely delivers. We have pushed boundaries in texture and sensorial experience, with formats that stand apart from anything else on the market. This is not a trend: this is knowledge that has stood the test of centuries, and we are proud to share it.”    1. After multiple applications.  2. Based on a consumer study with 100 participants.  3.

This isn’t a distant issue. It’s a crisis impacting individuals, families, workplaces and communities in every country.   Preventing violence means addressing what enables it and gender bias remains one of the most significant yet overlooked barriers to progress. It shapes assumptions, limits opportunities, and as UN Women affirms, “violence against women and girls is rooted in gender‑based discrimination, social norms that accept violence, and gender stereotypes that continue circles of violence,” underscoring how deeply ingrained gender bias is and serves as one of the key precursors to gender‑based violence*.  Studies show bias forms before the age of nine, is reinforced across a lifetime, and remains deeply entrenched. And even today, nine out of ten men and women across the world hold fundamental bias against women and despite decades of advocacy, a UN report shows no meaningful progress has been made in reducing gender bias in the last ten years**.   Together, we will:   Dismantle bias and advance equality: Challenge unconscious bias, stereotypes, and discrimination, addressing gender alongside other forms of oppression.  Create safe, inclusive spaces: Support trauma-informed services, survivor resources, and initiatives that promote dignity and safety for all.  Empower communities and education: Build the capacity of individuals and grassroots groups and promote inclusive education that challenges harmful norms.  Strengthen institutions and representation: Invest in gender-responsive organisations and encourage diverse, stereotype-free portrayals in media.  Drive systemic change and innovation: Support advocacy, policy reform, and new solutions that tackle the root causes of gender inequality.   Learn more about each project here: The Equal Futures Fund  Together, we are working toward a world free from violence and a future that is more equal, more just and full of opportunity.   Kristof Neirynck Avon CEO says: “Gender bias has silenced voices and limited women’s potential for too long. I’m proud of our history, supported by our community of Representatives, customers and employees, in raising awareness, speaking out against gender based abuse and empowering each other to know how to seek support. Through the Equal Futures Fund, we’re committed to supporting local organisations to drive positive change and address gender bias and inequity head on. Alongside this, our internal policies and Allies Against Abuse network are available to support any employee when requested. Together, we’re building a future where everyone can thrive.”    Pamela Zaballa NO MORE CEO says: “NO MORE is proud to partner with Avon on this critical effort to dismantle gender bias and prevent gender-based violence. By fueling honest conversations, increasing awareness of existing biases and discrimination, and investing in community education, we know this initiative will drive lasting and meaningful change. It is imperative not just for women and girls, but for everyone to live in a more secure respectful, and prosperous world.”  About NO MORE   The NO MORE Foundation is dedicated to ending domestic and sexual violence by increasing awareness, inspiring action, and fueling culture change. With more than 1,400 allied organizations and state, local, and international chapters, NO MORE sparks grassroots activism, encouraging everyone—women and men, youth and adults, from all walks of life—to be part of the solution. The Foundation creates and provides public awareness campaigns, educational resources and community organizing tools free-of-charge for anyone wanting to stop and prevent violence. First launched in 2013, NO MORE has brought together the largest coalition of advocacy groups, service providers, governmental agencies, major corporations, universities, communities and individuals, all under a common brand and a unifying symbol in support of a world free of violence.

Our keys. Our lipstick. Our phones – around 58 times a day, in fact¹. But how often are we checking our chest? We’re encouraging everyone to prioritise regular self-checks - because they could quite simply save lives. We’ve been supporting breast cancer awareness for over 30 years, and we remain committed to helping build confidence around breast health. We want everyone to know what their normal is and how to spot the signs of breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. In 2022, 2.3 million women were diagnosed globally, and 670,000 lives were lost². Regular breast checks play a crucial role in early detection, which can significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates. Feel yourself: check this before you check your phone We’re continuing to act on insights from our 2024 Boob Census – a global overview of how women feel about their breast health. The findings showed that many women either never check their chest or don’t do so regularly. One of the most common reasons? They simply forget. In fact, 39% of women surveyed said they don’t check their chest at least monthly because it slips their mind. We know life is busy and full of things to check. So we’re encouraging everyone to make chest checks part of their regular routine. Before we check our lipstick or our phones, let’s remember to check something even more important: our chest. Whether that’s at home or during a routine appointment. Jemah Brightman-White, Brand Acitvism MAnager & Breast Health Advocate says: "While there are important things we need to check in our lives, our health needs to be at the top of that list. Let’s continue to have open conversations around breast health, and ensure regular chest checks, either at home, or with a healthcare professional, are a part of our regular routine. It fills me with so much joy and pride that we continue to stand together as an Avon community, showing up as a company that supports women everyday by raising awareness and actively driving change through fundraising, honest conversations and initiatives with our trusted NGO partners.” For resources, support and more information on our Breast Cancer Promise and NGO partners, visit: avonworldwide.com/supporting-women/breast-cancer   [1] According to global data: https://explodingtopics.com/blog/smartphone-usage-stats [2] https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/breast-cancer Wed, 01 Oct 2025 04:00:00 GMT /global/news/Breast-Cancer-Awareness-Month0
