No, skin is a complex organ made of many different molecules.
Melanin is the molecule that plays a crucial role in protecting the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays emitted by the sun. It absorbs and dissipates UV radiation, helping to prevent DNA damage and reducing the risk of skin cancer. Higher melanin levels are associated with darker skin tones, which provide increased protection against UV exposure.
This is a compound, a molecule.
No UV light can not be treated as vit D precursor as it only provides the energy in the form of radiation for the reaction to take place. It is the steroid molecule present in dermis which is precursor for vitD synthesis.
C.A molecule that has a symmetrical shape will be a nonpolar molecule.
A molecule.
Skin is composed of trillions of Cells
Vitamin D production begins when a precursor molecule is exposed to ultraviolet light in the skin.
The molecule responsible for waterproofing the skin is ceramide. Ceramides are lipids naturally found in the skin that help to form a protective barrier, preventing water loss and keeping the skin hydrated.
If the temperature of the water is less than your body temperature, then heat will be transferred from the warmer body to the colder body of water. The molecules in your skin vibrate because they are warm. When a water molecule touches a warm vibrating skin molecule, some of the heat energy in the skin molecule is transferred to the water molecule, warming the water.

Vitamin D is produced in the skin, on exposure to UV (ultravoilet) radiation, from a modified cholesterol molecule; necessary for normal bone growth and function.
the ultraiolet rays in a sunbed damages a important molecule (DNA)
Water is a polar molecule so it clings to other water molecules and hangs on your skin even after you dry off a bit.
The active molecule in chilies, capsaicin, binds to nerve receptors in the skin, causing a sensation to be sent to the brain exactly like that of a burn or abrasion.

As it is broken down by the body its by products can leave through the skin, since it is part of the excretory system. But, as the original chemical compound, no. It is much too large a molecule to nake its way through all the structures of the skin that are designed to keep such things in.
The absorption of UV light into the skin converts a precursor molecule into vit. D
