More Information
Sebum contains numerous sebaceous glands that secrete oils (including neutral fats and small amounts of free fatty acids) through the sebaceous ducts of hair follicles to the skin surface, resulting in oiliness, also known as "sebum."
The composition of sebum is quite complex because sebaceous gland cells primarily synthesize neutral fats (triglycerides). After neutral fats enter the hair follicle, they can be broken down into glycerol and free fatty acids under the action of microorganisms before reaching the skin surface. Sebum also contains components such as waxes and squalene.
Functions of sebum include:
•Moisturizing the skin and hair
•Forming a lipid film with sweat to protect the skin, preventing moisture loss
•Exhibiting weak acidity, which can inhibit and kill bacteria on the skin surface
