Stratum Corneum is the outermost, horny layer, consisting of dead cells filled with a protein substance called keratin. It forms the protective covering for the body.
Stratum Lucidum is a layer lying directly beneath the stratum corneum. It is present in the thick skin of the palms and soles. Cells are flattened and filled with keratin.
