Items needed, 80% dipropylene glycol, 8% sodium stearate, 6% witch hazel, 2% aloe vera extract, 2% turkey red oil (sulfonated castor oil - emulsifier), 1% essential or fragrance oil, 1% polysorbate 20 1) Weigh the dipropylene glycol and sodium stearate in a heatproof container
2) Heat until the sodium stearate is melted.
3) Add the witch hazel, aloe vera, and turkey red oil (optional) and mix until fully blended.
4) Mix the polysorbate 20 and essential or fragrance oil in a small container, and add it to the mixture after you remove it from the heat.
5) Pour into a deodorant container and let sit until solid.  You can try different fragrances such as, tea oil tree or green bamboo fragrance oil.
Polysorbate 20 will make it sticky, so you will need to add a detackifier and glide enhancer!  Try a PEG or Crodamol PMP at 2% in place of the turkey red oil. Tinosan at 0.3% twill offer some anti-bacterial and preserving properties.  Also, Polysorbate 20 in the mix as the water soluble ester will help solubilize the fragrance oil.

One suggestion is including 2% Iamolin in place of water.  It is water soluble ester and to add some emolliency. If you don't have witch hazel or aloe vera substitute hydrosol, alcohol, or water.
