The Touch-Ups Start Before the Day Has. If Your Face Started Sweating in Your 40s or 50s, Your Setting Spray Was Never the Problem.
The damp hairline. The foundation missing from your upper lip. The hair you used to wear down. Every primer and setting spray works on the surface. The heat starts underneath. Here's the herb Europe has used for excess sweating for generations.
You did everything right this morning.
Foundation blended. Brows done. Hair down, because you like it that way.
Then the heat arrives. It starts in your chest, climbs your neck and lands on your face.
By the time you reach a mirror there's a shine at your temples, a streak through your foundation and nothing left on your upper lip. You blot carefully so you don't lift what's left. The elastic comes out of your bag. Your hair goes up.
Twenty minutes later, you check again.
Your makeup bag isn't a makeup bag anymore. It's a repair kit.
It didn't used to be like this.
In your 30s, your makeup lasted all day. Now it barely lasts the drive to work.
You haven't gotten worse at doing your face. Something changed underneath it. For a lot of women, face and scalp sweating shows up or gets worse around menopause, along with the flushes and the nights you wake up hot.6
So you've bought every “sweat-proof” product there is. Mattifying primer. Long-wear foundation. Setting spray that promises 16 hours. Powder on top of powder.
Some of it buys you an extra hour. None of it changes how the day ends. Every one of those products has the same job: hold makeup on your skin. Not one of them can do anything about the heat and sweat coming from underneath.
Europe has had an answer for generations.
It's sage. The same soft gray-green leaf in your spice rack.
Sage has a long history in European herbal medicine for excess sweating. The European Medicines Agency's official herbal monograph lists sage leaf for the relief of excessive sweating, based on long-standing traditional use.2
In Germany, sage tablets made specifically for excess sweating are sold in pharmacies, no prescription needed. Here, almost nobody has heard of them.
Researchers have also studied sage in women going through menopause. In a 2021 placebo-controlled study of 80 women aged 48 to 65, a fresh sage preparation saw hot flash severity scores drop 55% over four weeks.4 That study used a different preparation from ours and was paid for by its maker, so we don't claim its results for Sweat Control. But it shows sage for midlife sweating is taken seriously.
Sage for the sweat. L-theanine for the pressure.
Rootline Labs Sweat Control is two ingredients. Each one has one job.
- 600 mg sage leaf extract. Standardized to 2.5% rosmarinic acid, so every serving carries the same amount. Made as a low-thujone extract and tested every batch.
- 200 mg L-theanine. The calming amino acid found in green tea, studied for supporting a relaxed response to stress without drowsiness.8* Because the presentation, the lunch and the family photo are exactly when the heat decides to show up.
Two capsules with breakfast. Hormone-free. Nothing to carry, nothing to reapply.
And because it never touches your skin, it works alongside any makeup routine you already love.
| Sage leaf extract (Salvia officinalis) | 600 mg | Standardized to 2.5% rosmarinic acid |

Already tried sage tea or another sage capsule?
Then you know the problem: you never really knew how much you were getting. A cup of sage tea depends on the leaves, the water and how long it steeps. A lot of sage capsules online list one milligram number and nothing else. No standardization. No word on thujone. No testing.
Sweat Control tells you exactly what's inside, and every batch is tested.
We can't promise it will work where something else didn't. Nobody honestly can. What we can promise is that you'll know exactly what you're taking, and you'll have 90 days to decide.
What to honestly expect.
This isn't a miracle in a bottle, and you don't need one.
You want to do your makeup in the morning and stop thinking about it. Lunch without a mirror check. A photo you're happy to be in. Your hair down again.
Give it 2 to 4 weeks of daily use. Some people notice sooner, some later. That's why we suggest starting with 3 bottles, and why every order comes with 90 days to decide.
Try Sweat Control for 90 days. If it doesn't work for you, it's free.
Every order is a one-time purchase, never a subscription.
Orders placed before 2 PM ET on weekdays ship the next business day.

- Low-thujone, tested every batch
GUARANTEE

Quick answers
Is this a subscription?
No. Every order is a one-time purchase. You're charged once, and nothing ships again unless you place a new order.
How soon will I notice a difference?
Give it 2 to 4 weeks of daily use. Some people notice sooner, some later. If you notice no change after 6 weeks, talk to your doctor, and remember you have 90 days to get your money back.
Is it okay to take every day?
Yes, it's made for daily use at 2 capsules a day. The EU monograph on sage leaf for excess sweating allows long-term use. Our extract is low in thujone and tested every batch.
I tried sage before. Why would this be different?
Sage tea and most sage capsules don't tell you how much you're getting. Ours is 600 mg of extract standardized to 2.5% rosmarinic acid, low in thujone, tested every batch, plus 200 mg of L-theanine. We can't promise it works where something else didn't, which is why you get 90 days to decide.
Does it work for hands, face, feet or underarms?
It's taken by mouth, so it isn't limited to one area. Everyone responds differently.
Will it make me sleepy?
L-theanine supports a calm, focused state rather than sleepiness, and there are no sedating herbs in the formula. Take it with breakfast.
Can I keep using my antiperspirant or other treatment?
Yes. Sweat Control doesn't replace anything your doctor has given you. If you take any medication, especially for seizures, diabetes, blood pressure, sleep or mood, check with your doctor first.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Message our support team within 90 days of your order and we'll refund you in full, even if every bottle is empty.
Who shouldn't take it?
Sweat Control is for adults 18 and over. Don't use it if you're pregnant or nursing, or if you're allergic to sage or other mint-family plants. If your sweating is sudden, new, or comes with fever, weight loss or other symptoms, see a doctor.
