Stress sweat is a different beast
Heat sweat cools you down. Stress sweat is your fight-or-flight response — triggered by adrenaline, it arrives in seconds and comes from different glands that produce a richer sweat that bacteria love. Translation: it can smell stronger.
The fix isn't blocking your pores with aluminium. It's neutralising odour, absorbing the drip and getting on with the big moment.

Stress sweat Q's
Why does stress sweat smell worse?
Stress sweat comes from apocrine glands, which produce a thicker sweat rich in proteins and fats — a buffet for the skin bacteria that cause odour. That's why nerves smell different to a jog.
How fast does Hand Hero work?
Rub a pea-sized amount into your palms and it feels dry-touch within moments. Reapply every 3–4 hours or right before the big handshake.
Can I reapply Pitt Stop during the day?
Absolutely — it's designed for on-the-go top-ups. A quick swipe resets your freshness in seconds, no shower needed.
