Your tears contain the enzyme lysozyme which can kill gram-positive bacteria by disrupting their cell-walls. It does this by digesting the peptidoglycan found in them.

Secretions from sebacious and sweat glands on your skin don't necessarily kill bacteria but they do give the skin a PH of around 3-5. This acidity helps prevent colonisation by pathogens on the skin.

Is sweat germs?

Sweat itself is primarily composed of water, salts, and small amounts of other substances, and it is not made up of germs. However, when sweat mixes with the bacteria naturally present on your skin, it can produce body odor. The bacteria break down the organic compounds in sweat, leading to the release of odor-causing byproducts. Thus, while sweat isn't germs, it can create an environment where bacteria thrive.
