natural sebum produced by sebaceous glands

Oil, in the context of hair and skin, refers to the natural sebum produced by sebaceous glands. Sebum is a lipid-rich substance that helps to moisturize and protect the hair and scalp, maintaining their health and preventing dryness. For professionals, understanding the balance of sebum production is crucial in diagnosing and treating conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and various forms of alopecia.
