The corneous layer is made up of eight to fifteen layers of flattened, dead corneous cells, which adhere to each other firmly. Shortly before cornification the living cells produce various lipids, known as barrier lipids.

They are pressed together to form the lipid layers like ‘bricks’ in the corneous layer. The lipid layers act like cement in a brick wall, simultaneously holding and protecting the corneous cells.
