British Science Week, set to take place from 8th to 17th March 2024, is an annual event that celebrates the UK’s innovations and advancements in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). For Sweat Guard®, this period represents an important occasion to showcase our dedication to addressing excessive sweating through scientifically backed solutions. Our product range, including Clinical Strength Antiperspirants, Sweat Pads, Silver Socks, and our revolutionary Iontophoresis Machines, reflects our commitment to leveraging science for the betterment of those who suffer from hyperhidrosis. We want to improve the lives of those living with excessive sweating with effective treatment options.

Understanding Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can lead to social anxiety, lower self-esteem, and challenges in professional settings. At Sweat Guard®, we understand the profound impact this condition can have. That's why our products are not just solutions but a beacon of hope for those affected. They result from rigorous scientific research, development, and a deep understanding of the physiological mechanisms of sweating.

The Science Behind Our Products

Clinical Strength Antiperspirants:

Our range of Clinical Strength Antiperspirants, have been developed to provide maximum sweat relief without the risk of common side effects such as irritation, burning and stinging.  Through extensive research, our ground-breaking antiperspirant formulation contains a class leading metal ion complex containing hydroxide, chloride and glycine. This latest generation compound has been selected for its superior ability to prevent sweat and to absorb moisture whilst avoiding the common side effects associated with older generation antiperspirants based on aluminium chloride. 

Our clinically-proven antiperspirant formula is changing lives - read the reviews from our customers on Trustpilot. 

Sharon L writes of our underarm antiperspirant, “This is my 3rd order and I'm delighted with the product. I have spent years looking for something that a) worked and b) didn't cause a skin reaction. I honestly thought there wasn't such a thing to be had. Thank you so much for restoring my confidence.”

Katie Rose has stopped her sweat patches with our Extreme Antiperspirant. “I have been using this deodorant for ages. … I can wear coloured clothes again with no sweat patches.” 

Iontophoresis Machines:

The science of Iontophoresis involves passing a mild electrical current through water to the surface of the skin. This process disrupts the activity of sweat glands, reducing sweating in treated areas. Our Home-Use Iontophoresis Machines are clinically proven and CE marked, ensuring they meet the highest safety and efficacy standards set by the UK and the EU. They offer a non-invasive, drug-free solution for managing excessive sweating, backed by scientific research to ensure effectiveness and safety. The NHS recommends Iontophoresis as part of a treatment plan for hyperhidrosis. Studies have shown that treatments improve quality of life significantly. 80-90% of patients see results after only 2 weeks. Treatment can bring you back to normal in a short period, without the use of medicines, surgery or any serious side effects.

Our Sweat Pads Triple Absorbancy technology is engineered based on years of knowledge and research into fluid dynamics, materials science of hygroscopy and adhesives and of skin physiology. Our underarm sweat pads, or as some of our customers like to call them, armpit sweat pads lock in moisture away from the skin, preventing sweat marks and odour. This innovative approach provides comfort and confidence to users, allowing them to navigate daily life without the worry of visible sweating. We used the same triple absorbent technology to create butterfly breast sweat pads to lock away cleavage or under ‘boob’ sweat. Both types of sweat pads are discrete; you will forget you are wearing them. 

Calum recently shared with us, “Excellent. No more ugly sweat patches, confidence restored! Really sticky and, if placed in the right position, completely prevents wet patches. I am buying more straight away because I have run out.”

Sweat Guard® Deodorant Body Wash and Natural Antibacterial Deodorant Soap:

The development of our body wash and soap products is grounded in microbiology and dermatology. By incorporating natural antibacterial agents, these products combat the bacteria responsible for body odour, offering a double action of cleansing and deodorising. This dual approach ensures that our products are not only effective in managing odour but also gentle on the skin, maintaining its natural balance.

Olu recently wrote of our Natural Antibacterial Deodorant Soap, “smells very nice”.

Will shared with us that our Deodorant Body Wash is “good value for money”.

John B also raved about our Deodorant Body Wash, saying it’s “better than I expected great product”.

At Sweat Guard®, we're helping to fight the battle against extreme foot odour with our innovative Real Silver Socks. Using fabric that is weaved with genuine silver metal fibres, these socks eliminate the root cause of foot odour by killing over 400 types of bacteria that break down proteins into acids. The well documented antimicrobial action of silver ensures your feet remain odour-free. Our socks are crafted with a hydrophobic yarn system that effectively wicks moisture away, promoting rapid evaporation and keeping your feet drier and more comfortable. They're thermodynamically designed to keep your feet cool in the summer and warm in the winter, offering year-round comfort. Our socks are another way we are using science to help you manage excessive sweating. 

Mrs Belton is a fan of our socks. “Bought these socks for my hubby as he has found them very effective in keeping his feet warm & dry throughout the year!”
