## Abstract

A deodorant stick composition that contains from about 80% to about 90% of a solvent and a structurant. The solvent includes water and organic solvent that includes a polar organic solvent and a non-polar organic solvent. The polar organic solvent can include 1,3 propanediol and/or glycerin. The ratio of polar organic solvent to non-polar organic solvent is from about 4:5 to about 3:1. The deodorant stick composition can have a hardness from about 80 to about 120 mm*10.
