Stratum corneum: The outer most layer of the epidermis
Subcutaneous: A term referring to below the skin ...
Stratum Corneum - The outermost layer of the epidermis, consisting of dead skin cells.
Subcutaneous Tissue - The deepest layer of skin; hypodermis.
Sumycin - Trade name for tetracycline.
Stratum Corneum (S.C.): The skin's barrier layer; is the outermost layer of epidermis, about the thickness of one human hair, and is made up of 25-30 layers of flat, dead cells completely filled with keratin, a waterproof protein.
Stratum Corneum- Also known as the horny layer, the outermost layer of the skin.
Sunblock- A method to physically deflect UV rays.
Sunflower Oil- Used for its smoothing properties, very high in essential fatty acids.
Stratum corneum - the uppermost layer of the skin.
Subcutaneous - under the skin.
Stratum Corneum: The horny cell layer of the epidermis.
Stratum Germinativum: The basal cell layer of the epidermis, where normal cell division takes place.
The skin's ability to properly regulate and maintain the correct moisture balance within its stratum corneum has long been the subject of great interest.
The most superficial layers of the stratum corneum (at the top of the epidermis) is removed or thinned during exfoliation.
Tocopheryl Linoleate: (Vitamin E) A substance that helps prevent stiffening of the stratum corneum as a result of UV exposure. Provides the skin with linoleic acid, one of the major essential fatty acids.
Lactic acid, being an alpha hydroxy acid diminishes the cohesion of surface skin cells and subsequently, prevents the thickening of the stratum corneum.
Ingredients in moisturizers and serums must penetrate the stratum corneum (the skin's outmost layer), to work effectively. An exfoliator used twice a week will help slough off dead skin cells, allowing creams to penetrate.
The uppermost layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum, is made of dead, flat skin cells that shed about every 2 weeks. The second layer lies deeper and is known as dermis. It contains blood vessels, nerves, hair roots and sweat glands.
A main component of the intercellular lipids that is responsible for cell cohesion at the top layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum.
It signifies diffuse plaques of hyperplasia of the stratum corneum of the skin, particularly of the ahnds and feet, eg.,tylosis, congenital, arsenical, menopausal, chronic eczema, syphilis, psoriasis, avitaminosis, pityriasis rubra pilaris, etc.
Corynebacteria invade the upper one-third of the stratum corneum and under favorable conditions these organisms proliferate.
It's the thinnest layer, but it's responsible for protecting you from the harsh environment, with five layers of its own: stratum germinativum, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum.
Skin layers
The skin consists of several layers: the stratum corneum on the surface; the superficial epidermis, composed of several layers of cells; and the thicker, deeper dermis which is vascularised with nerve endings.
It is made up of 5 layers: Stratum Corneum - horny layer, Stratum lucidum - clear layer, Stratum granulosum - granular layer, Stratum spinosum - spiny layer - prickle cell, melanin production, ...
Myristoyl/ palmitoyl oxostearamide/ arachamide mea
Derived from palm oil; patented ingredient; provides the main component for the stratum corneum's lipid composition; helps skin repair its own barrier function.
Bi-layers of these phospholipids create liposomes that enhance penetration and bioavailability of active ingredients in the stratum corneum.
