Application recommendation
15 minutes before sun exposure, apply a small (we really mean small) quantity of AGR+E lotion on sun-exposed skin and massage very well until the skin is dry to the touch. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen on top. Repeat both every two hours, after swimming or toweling. If you see any piling/flaking effect it's because you use too much. You can also apply Shirudo AGR+E Intensive Night Lotion after night shower for a full night of aftersun and colling effect.
How much lotion do you need?
A 250ml tube is usually enough for a full week at the beach using all over. But it really depends on the kind of vacation you have; ie a beach holiday requires more lotion than a week of golf. Usually, you need a little less AGR+E lotion than sunscreen for the same period/conditions. Remember only a small quantity of AGR+E lotion is enough, the important is to massage well. If you see any piling, flaking of the lotion it means you use too much or didn't massage well enough.
What sunscreen should you use?
We simply recommend using your regular favorite sunscreen. It’s the reason we develop a lotion without UV protection, so you can keep using the one you love. Our lotion can accommodate any skin type, the region of the world, season and time of day.
(Always apply at least 15 minutes prior to exposure)
They pretty much all leave a white film, instant protection since it’s a physical barrier:
What about color ?
Alpha-glucosylrutin is naturally yellow in color and fully hydrosoluble. Use only a small quantity and avoid contact with clothing until the skin is dry to the touch. Should yellow stains occur on clothing, please follow washing instructions. There is no need for special soap to remove stains; simply wash as you would normally do.
Once the lotion applied I have yellow residues all over, what's wrong?
What is the shelf life of AGR+E lotion?
When stored in good conditions, the unopened product has a shelf life of two years. Once the product is open, we recommend using lotion in the next five months. Avoid contamination by using the product with clean hands and do not open the tube or touch the product inside.
If you won’t use a whole tube, you can transfer a small quantity in a clean and sanitized amber bottle with a pump or cap for your daily use. Store the original tube in a dark and cool place for better and longer conservation.
Storage
The 5 layers white tube will protect lotion from UVs. Keep out of direct sunlight and avoid extreme temperature change. Store in a dark and cool place between 54°F and 77°F .
Do you have sensitive skin?
A very small percentage of people (0.06%) may have an allergic reaction to one of the natural ingredients found in Shirudo AGR+E. As a precaution, please apply a small patch on an unaffected area first to see how your skin reacts.

Hi, your lotion is like a miracle for me! I vacation on our sailboat in the Caribbean 2-3 times yearly for the past 15 years. So I’m always exposed to full sun for my entire vacation unless I’m ducking down inside the boat. Before I found your product I used to end up having to sail to an island and go to the ER and be prescribed prednisone to make it through the vacation. Now I simply order before I go, apply it first thing in the morning before applying my sunscreen and I’m good to go ! It’s a total miracle for me !! I only have this problem in the direct sunlight in Caribbean. I do not have reactions here on Cape Cod where I live the rest of the year. I want to thank you for saving my vacations and my skin! So happy 😀
