  1. You did a great job with the info and the illustration. I hope to use the infographic in my herbal classes.

  3. Did you use an infographic tool for this? If yes would you mind telling me which one? It’s stunning!

  4. I can honestly say I’ve never heard of internal sunscreen LOL great post.

  5. Fantastic info graphic! It’d be much easier to feed our dogs something than spray on sunscreen! We do have one with a thin coat that will still need the spray but I bet our shepherd will be fine with just food. We always give them lots of shade too.
