    Glossary Eumelanin

    type of melanin pigment responsible for dark hair and skin

    Eumelanin is a type of melanin pigment found in human hair, skin, and eyes. It is responsible for darker colors, such as brown and black, and provides protection against UV radiation. Eumelanin is more abundant in individuals with darker skin tones and plays a crucial role in determining hair color and skin photoprotection.
