Transparent Layer of the Epidermis

The transparent layer **epidermis** is a thin, transparent layer of skin that lies under the epidermis and protects it from damage. It is of great importance for skin health. This layer is associated with all metabolic and hydration processes of the skin and also provides protection to its outer layers. In this article, we'll learn more about the clear layer of the epidermis and explain how it keeps your skin healthy.

What is the transparent layer of the epidermis? The transparent layer of the epidermis is one of the layers of the skin**. The epidermis** (or outer layer of skin) is made up of hundreds of thin layers of cells and proteins. Each layer performs its function on the skin and protects it from pathogenic factors. Under the top layer of the epidermis is a transparent layer - the **shiny** epidermis. The lustrous epidermis is a light and thin layer that is extremely important for skin health as it protects the skin and helps it retain moisture. Without it, the skin will be vulnerable to drying out.

The shiny or transparent layer forms a coating on the top layer of the skin and gives shine and smoothness to the skin. Its transparency shows the healthy appearance of the skin and can help identify problems in the upper layers of the skin. The transparent **layer of the epidermis** is so called because it is transparent or pale in color and without a stratum corneum unless it itself is damaged.

There are two types of epidermis, depending on the depth of chromophoric compounds. The top and middle layers, called the stratum lucidum or stratum lucidum, are called stratified epidermis, while the lower layers are called simple.

It protects the skin at the top and maintains good function and health of the underlying layers.

The stratum lucidum of the epidermis contains fewer cells than the normal layers of skin and contains protective molecules such as **keratin**, melanin, filaggrin and other skin protective factors.[1] Transparent epidermis makes
