Sweat glands generally release water, salts (mostly NaCl), and urea (a waste product of protein degradation in the liver). Sweat also contains small amounts of 2-methylphenol and 4-methylphenol (also known as o-cresol and p-cresol, respectively) which are responsible for much of the unpleasant odor.
