natural color of skin determined by melanin levels

Skin pigmentation, also known as skin color or complexion, refers to the natural color of a person's skin, which is primarily determined by the type and amount of melanin produced by melanocytes in the epidermis. Melanin is a pigment that provides protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Variations in skin pigmentation can be influenced by genetic factors, sun exposure, and certain medical conditions.
