Abstract

Hyperhidrosis is the production of sweat abnormally greater than that required to regulate body temperature. The symptoms are manifested mainly in the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, armpits and craniofacial regions. Currently, there are various treatments for hyperhidrosis, being the topical treatment with metal salts, and specifically, with aluminum chloride hexahydrate, the most used for its effectiveness, safety and ease of application, however, some people may experience sensitivity reactions to the aforementioned salts. The formulation proposed in this study provides an effective and safe alternative for the treatment of hyperhidrosis, using as essential ingredients of the formulation essential oil of tea tree, apple cider vinegar, sage and thyme extracts and menthol in individualized cellulose wipes. After testing different formulations in three volunteers with hyperhidrosis, the results were satisfactory when rapid absorption of the formulation, freshness and prolongation in time of the dryness of the treated área was perceived. The result of the study shows that cosmetic preparations with natural compounds can be a satisfactory research path in the search for the treatment of hyperhidrosis
