In order to ensure that a brand is completely cruelty free, doesn’t test on animals at any point during the production of their products, I reach out to them via email. Here is my email exchange with The Yellow Bird…
Hello!
I’m the founder of Ethical Beauty, a blog that features cruelty free brands, product reviews and recommendations. Animal rights are immensely important to me and I believe in supporting companies who share the same values. I am interested in listing The Yellow Bird on my cruelty free brand list, but I had a couple questions.1) Are any of your products or ingredients tested on animals?
2) Do you have a Leaping Bunny, CCF or PETA certification?
3) Does your company sell products in mainland China (except Hong Kong)?
4) Do your suppliers or any third parties test on animals on your behalf?
5) Are you owned by a parent company that tests on animals?Please get back to me at your earliest convenience and thank you for your time.

Based on this email, I have concluded that The Yellow Bird is in fact cruelty free and it has been added to our database of cruelty free brands. Their products may also be featured in our shopping guides. Take a look at their wonderful products here.
