    Glossary Basal Layer

    deepest epidermal layer where new skin cells form

    The Basal Layer, also known as the Stratum Basale, is the deepest layer of the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin. This layer is crucial because it contains basal cells that continuously divide and push older cells towards the skin's surface, where they eventually shed. It also houses melanocytes, which produce the pigment melanin, giving skin its color and providing some protection against UV radiation.
