Conventional detergents often contain harsh surfactants, synthetic fillers, and elevated pH levels that can degrade performance fabrics over time. While these formulas may effectively remove dirt, they also weaken elastic fibers, dull colors, and compromise moisture-wicking properties.

Sweat Chemistry's specialized detergents are engineered with a balanced, low-residue formula that uses five carefully selected surfactants to break down sweat, oil, and bacteria, without damaging the structure of technical fabrics. By avoiding common irritants and maintaining fabric integrity, it helps preserve stretch, fit, and breathability, ultimately extending the functional lifespan of your activewear.

Yep! Unlike most grocery-store detergents, Sweat Chemistry’s specialized formula is completely perfume free ∙ SLS free ∙ SLES free ∙ sulfate free ∙ paraben free ∙ phthalate free ∙ 1,4-dioxane free ∙ ethoxylated alcohol free ∙ optical brightener free ∙ filler free ∙ petroleum free ∙ palm oil free ∙ gluten free ∙ hormone disruptor free ∙ carcinogen free, and simply worry free.

It sure is. All Sweat Chemistry products are made with a 100% biodegradable formula, and they rinse clean without leaving a trace.

Each of our scents is crafted using either an essential oil, a phthalate-free fragrance oil, or a blend of the two. For more details on how each detergent is scented, please check the individual product page.

Great question! The $2.84 per month figure is based on doing one load of laundry per week with Sweat Chemistry.

• A bottle of Sweat Chemistry costs $38 and covers 30 small loads.
• This means each load costs $38 ÷ 30 = $1.26 per load.
• For comparison, we used Tide Hygienic Clean Pods sold at Walmart.ca, which cost approximately $0.55 per load before taxes.
• The difference per load is $1.26 – $0.55 = $0.71 extra per load.
• Doing one load per week means 4 loads per month.
• So, the extra monthly cost is 4 × $0.71 = $2.84 more per month.

Switching to Sweat Chemistry costs only an extra $2.84 a month; a small investment to protect and extend the life of your valuable activewear. Not to mention you to support a Canadian business!

Our unscented option, NAKED AF, is hypoallergenic and free from any added fragrance. Our scented varieties include essential oils or phthalate-free fragrance oils, which may not be ideal for those with very sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities.
