About us
We set up Sweat Guard to discover, develop and make available more effective specialist products for those who suffer from excessive sweating.
How we started
Sweat Guard was started in 2006. Our founder Ben Jones had been suffering with excessive sweating every day of his life for 26 years. In this time he endlessly tried many products but found most of them ineffective. People are all very different and their sweat glands and sweat production can be very different with some people hardly sweating and at the other end of the scale people who describe their “life as a puddle”.
What was the issue?
We found that most ‘deodorant' products were developed and targeted by the larger toiletry companies at the mass market i.e those people who are 'normal' sweaters. On the other hand there were and still are very few prescription pharmaceutical antiperspirants for excessive sweating. Those that are available are based on Aluminium Chloride as the active ingredient.
The lack of really effective pharmaceuticals and NHS iontophoresis clinics therefore has limited the tools that doctors have for treating the condition. In summary, he found products and services available from supermarkets, pharmacies and NHS clinics often did not work well for excessive sweating- so we made Sweat Guard.
