Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Squamulate

👉 Squamulate is a type of protein found in the skin. It's produced by cells called melanocytes and helps protect the skin from damage caused by UV rays. In layman terms, squamate occurs when melanocytes produce more melanin, which is a pigment that gives the skin its color. This increase in melanin can cause the skin to appear darker than usual, especially under the sun or after swimming.
