Again, the ESRF's synchrotron light was used to illuminate the corneocytes and lipids together and look for any clumps or other ordering.

The corneocytes were also studied using electron microscopy, yielding their size, shape and water content.

Its outstanding properties come from the addition of just 10\% each of lipid molecules and dead skin cells (corneocytes), so the exact composition of the mixture is important.

Keratinocytes secrete the content of lamellar bodies, which are Golgi derived organelles, in the extracellular domain where lipids are enzymatically converted into multilayered structures that occlude the extracellular spaces among corneocytes.

As opposed to amphibians, in mammals the stratum corneum can be described as a brick wall, where the bricks are the corneocytes (cell remnants of the terminally differentiated keratinocytes found in viable epidermis) and the mortar is the abundant intercellular lipid
