Did you mean Cornified Envelope?

Glossary Cornified Envelope

tough, protective layer in the outermost skin part

The cornified envelope is a tough, protective layer found in the outermost part of the skin, known as the stratum corneum. It is composed of cross-linked proteins and lipids, providing a barrier against environmental damage, pathogens, and water loss. This structure is crucial for maintaining skin integrity and function.
