Melanin is the pigment responsible for determining the color of our skin. It is produced by special cells called melanocytes, which are located in the epidermis of the skin. The amount and type of melanin produced by these cells determine the various shades of skin color that exist among different individuals. Melanin also plays a crucial role in protecting the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation by absorbing and dissipating the energy.
