The skin acts as an interface between the body and its surrounding environment. The epidermis, the surface layer of the skin, is chiefly responsible for this interactive protective function. The epidermal barrier may be subdivided into three defensive systems: the photoprotective barrier, the immune barrier, and the physical and chemical barrier of the stratum corneum or horny layer. To protect against harmful ultraviolet radiation, the epidermis has absorption factors such as melanin, produced by melanocytes, and urocanic acid, which is a degradation product of filaggrin. The epidermal immune defence system comprises an innate component, which is rapid but non-specific, together with adaptive response, which is systemic and antigen-specific, initiated by Langerhans cells. The stratum corneum, derived from terminal differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes, plays a key role as a physical and chemical permeability barrier. This homy layer is made up of corneocytes, covered with horny envelopes and linked to one another by corneodesmosomes and by extracellular matrix sheets. The epidermal barrier, which is constantly being renewed, is characterised by its extremely great capacity of adaptation to changing conditions in the environment.
