This eBay listing makes a distinction between Avon Cosmetics and Avon Products:

AVON COSMETICS DR ZABRISKIE'S SOAP FROM GERMANY 1972--85G -NEW IN BOX. THIS IS AVON COSMETICS NOT AVON PRODUCTS - SEE PICTURES. MY MOTHER HAD ME PURCHASE ITEMS FOR HER WHEN I LIVED IN GERMANY. VERY COLLECTIBLE. My mother sold AVON for over 55 years and this was in her huge collection of new AVON items.
