👉 Pigment is a type of pigment that is produced by cells in the skin, hair, nails and other parts of the body. Pigments can be divided into three main types: melanin, which provides color to the skin and hair; vitamin D3, which helps maintain healthy skin; and cerulein, which is found in the eyes and urine. Pigment production varies among individuals, depending on their age, sex, diet, lifestyle, and other factors.
