A lotion is usually an emulsion - similar to, for example, mayonnaise. An emulsion is made of two liquids that won't normally mix (such as oil and water) and a third chemical is added that enables the other two to join together. This makes a creamy mixture. This third chemical is called an emulsifying agent.
In the case of a lotion, the oil is often palm oil and the second is usually just water. Any of a number of different emulsifying agents (such as emulsifying wax for example) are added to join the oil and water. Scents and perhaps also medicines are then added, as needed, to make whatever particular lotion is required.
