skin's most apical layer is full of keratin
the tight jxn's holding the stratified squamous epithelium together use claudin and occludin
there are a few more cellular jxn's that use other proteins as well
there is type IV collagen laminin and proteoglycans in the basal lamina under the epitheluim
then there is LOTS more collagen in the loose and dense connective tissue underneath.
hope that helps!
