The uppermost, scaling, keratin-containing (see below keratin) barrier layer of the epidermis (see below orthokeratosis; see below hyperkeratosis; see below parakeratosis), consisting of so-called corneocytes, 0.02-0.5 mm thick. The separation of the stratum corneum from its support is called corneolysis.
