Detailed explanation-1: -The basal cell layer contains cells called melanocytes. Melanocytes produce the skin coloring or pigment known as melanin, which gives skin its tan or brown color and helps protect the deeper layers of the skin from the harmful effects of the sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -Further, melanosomes in dark skin are resistant to degradation by lysosomal enzymes, remain intact throughout the epidermal layers (65) and form supranuclear caps in keratinocytes and melanocytes which contribute considerably to photoprotection against UV-induced damage (71).
Detailed explanation-3: -Melanin provides pigmentation to your skin, eyes and hair. The substance also absorbs harmful UV (ultraviolet) rays and protects your cells from sun damage.
