Vernix, also known as vernix caseosa, is a waxy coating which develops on the skin of fetuses, starting around the 20th week of pregnancy. The level of this waxy coating declines over the course of the pregnancy, with full term babies typically having very little vernix, while premature infants may have a thicker layer of this white, waxy substance.
Vernix has a highly variable makeup but is primarily composed of sebum, cells that have sloughed off the fetus's skin and shed lanugo hair. 12% of the dry weight of vernix is branched-chain fatty acid-containing lipids, cholesterol and ceramide.ernix corneocytes lack desmosomal attachment and this distinguishes them from corneocytes found in mature stratum corneum. Thickness of a corneocyte is 1-2 Âµm. These cells are surrounded by a layer of amorphous lipids lacking typical lamellar architecture present in mature stratum corneum.
