This layer is composed of 15--20 layers of flattened cells with no nuclei and cell organelles . Their cytoplasm shows filamentous keratin . These corneocytes are embedded in a lipid matrix composed of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids . </P> <P> The stratum corneum functions to form a barrier to protect underlying tissue from infection, dehydration, chemicals and mechanical stress . Desquamation, the process of cell shedding from the surface of the stratum corneum, balances proliferating keratinocytes that form in the stratum basale . These cells migrate through the epidermis towards the surface in a journey that takes approximately fourteen days . </P>
