    outer skin layer between hair follicles

    The interfollicular epidermis is the part of the skin's outer layer that exists between hair follicles. It plays a crucial role in protecting the body from environmental damage, preventing water loss, and serving as a barrier against pathogens. This area is composed of multiple layers of cells, including keratinocytes, which are responsible for producing keratin, a protein that strengthens the skin.
