The firm said that it provides "critical support" for women whose livelihoods depend on their business.

The 137-year-old company is best known for its door-to-door sales representatives who demonstrate the application of its cosmetics, perfumes and creams first-hand.

Avon's parent company, the Brazilian firm Natura & Co, previously emphasised it was only maintaining local operations to support its sales agents who are reliant on their business.

"We believe restricting their access to products would have an outsize impact on women and children there," it said.
