In menthol production for topical or inhalant products, a colloid mill disperses menthol crystals or menthol crystals dissolved in oil evenly throughout the base formulation, which helps ensure a uniform cooling sensation and consistent potency in every unit produced. Because menthol can recrystallize if not properly dispersed, thorough shear mixing at a controlled temperature helps maintain a smooth, stable final texture.
