Answer

Sebum

Sebum - Definition and Functions

Sebum is an oily, waxy substance that plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the skin and hair. It helps to lubricate the skin, prevent dehydration, and protect against external elements. However, excessive sebum production can also contribute to conditions like acne when it clogs pores and mixes with dead skin cells and bacteria.
