    Glossary Stratum Corneum

    outermost skin layer composed of dead, keratinized cells

    The Stratum Corneum, also known as the Horny Layer, is the outermost layer of the epidermis, consisting of dead, flattened skin cells that are rich in keratin. This layer acts as a primary barrier to protect underlying tissues from infection, dehydration, and mechanical stress, playing a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration and overall health.
