    Glossary Melanin Transfer

    process where pigment moves from melanocytes to skin cells

    Melanin transfer is the process by which melanin, the pigment responsible for hair, skin, and eye color, is transferred from melanocytes (cells that produce melanin) to keratinocytes (the primary cells in the outer layer of the skin). This transfer is crucial for pigmentation and protection against UV radiation.
