Eccrine sweat gland produce a secret devoid of cytoplasmic constituents. The sweat is the less concentrated body fluid and its composition is individual not only in concentration but also in the biochemical composition. Sweating is important for termoregulation, horny layer hydration and excretion of toxic substances. Localized increased sweating (focal hyperhidrosis) could be controlled by a wide range of topically administered active substances, the mostly used antiperspirants contain metal salts, especially alluminium salts.
