Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation We prepare our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2019 Form 10-K") in preparing these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements, other than those impacted by new accounting standards as described below. In addition, upon the consummation of the Transaction with Natura &Co Holding, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding and Avon common stock ceased to be traded on the NYSE. As a result, we have excluded disclosures of Earnings per Share from our consolidated financial statements. The Company has updated its reportable segments to align with how the business is operated and managed since the merger with Natura, we have identified two reportable segments based on geographic operations: Avon International and Avon Latin America. In prior periods, the Company reported four segments: Europe, Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific, South Latin America and North Latin America. Previously reported segment information has been recast throughout the consolidated financial statements, as applicable, for all periods presented to reflect the changes in the Company’s reportable segments. Refer to Note 10, Segment Information, to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein for more information. In our opinion, the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. You should read these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2019 Form 10-K. When used in this report, the terms "Avon," "Company," "we" or "us" mean Avon Products, Inc. For interim Consolidated Financial Statements purposes, we generally provide for accruals under our various employee benefit plans for each quarter based on one quarter of the estimated annual expense, and adjust these accruals as estimates are refined. In addition, our income tax provision is determined using an estimate of our consolidated annual effective tax rate, adjusted in the current period for discrete income tax items including: •the effects of significant, unusual or extraordinary pretax and income tax items, if any; •the impact of changes in tax legislation, if any; •withholding taxes recognized associated with cash repatriations; and •the impact of loss-making subsidiaries for which we cannot recognize an income tax benefit and subsidiaries for which an effective tax rate cannot be reliably estimated.
Reclassifications	ReclassificationsCertain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Accounting Standards Implemented	Accounting Standards Implemented ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. We adopted this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2020, using a modified retrospective transition approach. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures and did not significantly impact the Company's accounting policies or estimation methods related to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The adoption resulted in a cumulative effect decrease to retained earnings of approximately $2 to reflect a change in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
