SweatStop® Antiperspirants: A Tailored Range for Every Body Area and Sweat Level
SweatStop® specializes in addressing the unique needs of individuals who experience excessive sweating and odor. With a wide range of 15 antiperspirants, SweatStop® offers the right product for every application and individual need, effectively reducing heavy sweating.
SweatStop® anti-sweat products are developed in close collaboration with dermatologists. By carefully optimizing the pH value and the composition of selected ingredients, enriched with skin-caring additives like Aloe Vera or Dexpanthenol (Provitamin B5), SweatStop® products are not only highly effective but also exceptionally gentle on the skin.
For optimal results, apply SweatStop® products to dry skin just before bedtime. You'll experience a reliable reduction in sweat and odor after just a few applications.
Proper Application for Heavy Sweating
Unlike deodorants, which are typically applied in the morning after showering, antiperspirants have be applied in the evening, shortly before bed. You can still use a scented deodorant in the morning if you like.
Spray is ideal for body application as it allows for a wide and even distribution of the solution. The spray form also prevents the transfer of skin bacteria onto the product and subsequently onto the skin.
For hands and feet, applying a thin solution to clean, dry skin is recommended, as it can penetrate deeper into the sweat gland ducts in these areas.
What Happens with Incorrect Application?
If the liquid is applied to damp skin, the solution can be washed away by emerging sweat. To ensure full effectiveness, antiperspirants must be applied to clean, dry skin before bedtime. After applying 1-2 sprays, allow the liquid to fully absorb into the skin before putting on nightwear. You can continue your usual washing routine in the morning.
Good skin compatibility is only possible with the right combination of proven ingredients. When purchasing, look for a dermatological certificate and an optimized pH value.
An effective antiperspirant combines gentle and caring properties with strong, reliable action. This is achieved through special processes, such as maintaining a low pH value. Consider these aspects when choosing a product.
How Do Antiperspirants Work Against Heavy Sweating?
The metal compounds in antiperspirants have an astringent effect that inhibits secretion without interfering with the physiological processes of the sweat glands. When using aluminum chloride hexahydrate, metal-mucopolysaccharide complexes form in the epidermis, filling the sweat gland ducts. Metal ions penetrate the ducts of eccrine glands, leading to protein precipitation and functionally sealing the gland ducts in the upper skin layer.
Sweat reduction usually occurs after 1-3 applications, and in rare cases, after a few weeks. With regular use, there may be a regression of secretory cells in the sweat glands. If you take a long break from use, these cells regenerate, which can lead to increased sweating.
Additionally, anti-sweat products with aluminum chloride solutions have an antibacterial effect that prevents unpleasant sweat odor. Therefore, they are suitable for both reducing heavy sweating and combating sweat odor.

Is Sweat Blocking Safe for Heavy Sweating?
July 2020 - Final Study for EU Countries on Aluminum-Containing Antiperspirants: Impairments from Aluminum Unlikely
"It is unlikely that aluminum penetrates healthy skin." July 2020 Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, Berlin
The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) conducted a health risk assessment on aluminum-containing products in 2014. At that time, the data was contradictory. The institute therefore highlighted the need for research on the topic. Now, two new human studies are available, requiring a reassessment of aluminum in products.
The result of the reassessment: The BfR states, "Health impairments from the regular use of aluminum-containing prodcuts are unlikely according to current scientific knowledge... The contribution of aluminum-containing products to the overall aluminum load is significantly lower than previously assumed."
Antiperspirants, due to their superficial effect on the skin, are toxicologically and systemically completely harmless. Aluminum chloride hexahydrate is considered toxicologically harmless according to current knowledge. Systemic effects are not expected because the substance is hydrophilic and highly polar, and therefore, also because of its astringent effect, is not absorbed or does not penetrate (Wolf, personal communication 2002, Heckmann and Rzany 2002). This is also the argument of current Anglo-American literature regarding a connection between aluminum chloride hexahydrate and Morus Alzheimer (Exley 1998) (Hyperhidrosis, Reinhard K. Achenbach, page 128). Read more about the safety of antiperspirants here.
Which Product Is Right for Me?
Choosing the optimal prodcut depends heavily on the specific body area and the extent of sweating. There is no one-size-fits-all product suitable for all body areas, as we sweat differently in various areas. Therefore, it is important to adjust the dosage form and concentration of the antiperspirant to individual needs.
SweatStop® Antiperspirants: Specially developed for every body part and every sweating concern.
SweatStop® offers a diverse range of products specifically tailored to meet these varying requirements.
For individuals suffering from heavy underarm sweating, the top recommendation is the SweatStop® Aloe Vera Forte Comfort Spray. This vegan product provides effective protection against excessive perspiration and can be used under the arms as well as on other affected areas. With its nourishing ingredients, it guarantees long-lasting security and skincare at the same time. If the effect of the Forte Spray is too intense, you can switch to the Sensitive version; should you require stronger protection, the Plus version is also available.
When applying antiperspirants to the face, forehead, and head, special care must be taken to avoid contact with mucous membranes. For sensitive skin in the facial area, the sensitive products from SweatStop® are particularly recommended.
Against heavy foot sweat, SweatStop® offers a combined, effective solution: SweatStop® Forte max Foot Spray is the must-have product for excessive foot perspiration. It provides 24-hour protection and is easy to apply thanks to the practical pump dispenser. For a refresh during the day or on the go, the SweatStop® Powder Stick Cinnamon Menthol is ideal. This unique foot powder stick is flesh-coloured and therefore virtually invisible. SweatStop® Menthol Foot Powder also ensures pleasantly dry feet and can be applied in the morning or several times a day as required.
Many people suffer from sweaty hands, especially in stressful situations. Here, SweatStop® Forte max Hand Spray offers quick and effective relief for 24 hours. For mild hand perspiration and short-term relief of up to 30 minutes, the SweatStop® Instant Lotion is an excellent choice. This flesh-coloured lotion can be applied several times a day as needed.
For application on various body parts such as the back, buttocks, or chest area, the Comfort Sprays are the ideal choice. These can even be used upside down. In the Comfort line, three different product strengths are also available for you.
To support the antiperspirant effect, SweatStop® offers the Aloe Vera ReLotion, which moisturises, soothes the skin and forms a protective film. Many products are also available in practical sets.
