What do you mean by penetration test?
Normally for deodorants, you need a Sniff Test which gives you the amount of time you can print on the label ( 72 h) …
you need an epicutan test to Evaluate if your formulation is harmful to the skin ( Europe)
you need a Mibi test if you’re not having a lot of alcohol inside.
never heard of a Penetration test and would be interested to know what that means.

Yes -mechanical penetration for physical status of solid deodorant
-
could you tell me what exactly this test is? is it to analyze the amount of deo that penetrates throughout the skin?
-
No - it is a QC method that assures the stick is sufficiently “hard” as judged by depth of penetration using a probe.
