Colloid cloudy and cannot be separated into oil and water by filtration or centrifuge. On the basis of collagen in Gelatin, it could be one type of colloid. Butter is an example of colloid. Colloids have bigger particles than Suspensions, its emulsion basically.

Answer: colloid

Step-by-step explanation:

The colloid is a mixture in which particles from one substance is suspended into particles of another substance. The particles of the colloids remain dispersed and they do not settle at the bottom of the container. The mixture appear in cloudy appearance. The particles of the mixed substances cannot be separated from each other in a colloidal mixture.

On the basis of the above description, and comparing the features of the skin lotion this can be said that the lotion is colloidal mixture.
