smooth texture

Without any roughness

Smooth texture describes a surface quality that is even and free of roughness, bumps, or irregularities.

The phrase appears in contexts from cooking to skincare to materials science: The lotion leaves skin with a smooth texture, Beat the batter until it has a smooth texture.

Texture here emphasizes the tactile or visual quality of the smoothness rather than smoothness as a general property.
