    process by which skin's outer layer develops protective functions

    Skin barrier formation refers to the process by which the outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, develops to protect the body from environmental threats like pathogens, chemicals, and physical injuries. This barrier is composed of tightly packed dead skin cells and lipids, which work together to prevent water loss and maintain hydration, ensuring the skin remains healthy and functional.
