In lotion production, a colloid mill refines the oil and water phases into extremely fine, evenly sized droplets, which is essential for creating a stable emulsion that resists separation, creaming or graininess during storage. The adjustable gap allows formulators to fine-tune droplet size for the desired viscosity and skin-feel, making the colloid mill a common finishing step after initial phase mixing.
