In salicylic acid production for topical formulations, a colloid mill ensures salicylic acid particles are evenly and finely dispersed throughout a gel, solution or cream base, since incomplete dispersion can leave gritty undissolved crystals that reduce product quality and consistency. The controlled shear also speeds up processing time compared to relying on prolonged stirring alone.
