Melanin is formed by the melanocytes which are in the stratum basale of the epidermis. Keratin is formed by the epithelial cells of the skin in the epidermis.
Both are manufactured in the cells .
Keratin refers to a family of fibrous structural proteins. Keratin is the key structural material making up the outer layer of human skin.Melanin is a pigment which gives color to the skin.
The penetration power of less energetic UV radiation isn't that high, and is usually stopped by melanin and keratin. Melanin is produced by a certain type of cell in the skin and deposited in live outer layer skin cells above their nucleus. Keratin is produced by dying outer skin cells and deposited over them, offering further shielding of live cell's nucleai.
It is called Keratinocyte, which is in the outermost layer of the epidermis.
It was common belief that rhinoceros horns were made of compressed hair, but that has been dispelled. Rhino horn is mostly keratin, and the core of it is made from dense mineral deposits of calcium and melanin.
Keratin
Keratinocytes or squamous cells produce keratin and Melanocytes produce melanin, pigment.
No, It is keratin, That is what all hair on mammals is made of.
Epidermis-Which is the thin, cellular, multilayered membrane that produces MELANIN and KERATIN.
No, melanin
its mostly made of protein: keratin and some melanin
Melanin and carotene are skin pigments that help block damaging rays from the sun. The more of these pigments in the skin the greater the protection.
not on its own. hair has metabolites in the hair or keratin and in the melanin or color granules. the "bleaching" (done with peroxide) will take care of the melanin but you will need a good toxin system like hair razor for the keratin.
Skin- melanin. Hair- keratin.

No, hair color is determined by the amount of melanin produced.
