What is melanin? — cultural cohesion

  Melanin is a natural skin pigment. Melanin is a molecule that functions as the body's built-in UV protection. Everyone, regardless of skin tone, has melanin molecules in our skin. In fact, hair, skin, and eye colour in people and animals, mostly depends on the type and amount of melanin they have.  Special skin cells called melanocytes make melanin. Melanin is a type of complex pigment that, in humans, is responsible for producing the pigmentation in our hair, skin, and eyes. Embrace Melanin. Support skin positivity.
