How we can help

We set up Sweat Guard to discover, develop and make available more effective specialist products for those who suffer from excessive sweating.

What is hyperhidrosis?

Excessive, uncontrollable, chronic, genetic sweating disorder. Many more people are not diagnosed but need help with their excessive sweating. Over 385 million people worldwide have hyperhidrosis.

Hyperhidrosis is more common than autism, psoriasis and peanut allergies, but due to stigma and embarrassment is rarely talked about. In some people, the body’s mechanism for cooling itself is so overactive that they may sweat four or five times more than is necessary or normal.
