Big presentation? Recital? First date? Championship game? Whether it’s nerves or stress, any of these circumstances would give many people sweaty hands, underarms or feet – likely leading to an embarrassing situation. Known as hyperhidrosis, the condition can be distressing and potentially affect lifestyles. According to the Mayo Clinic, Hyperhidrosis is abnormal excessive sweating that’s not necessarily related to heat or exercise.
Until recently, there wasn’t easy, over-the-counter help for this condition that recent studies say affect nearly 5 percent of Americans – more than 15 million people. And research from other countries indicates a nearly 20 percent incidence in some regions. Enter Carpe, a company that’s producing the world’s first non-greasy, no-residue antiperspirant lotion.
