AB Skin  of  color  is  differentiated  by  the  amount  and  epidermal  distribution  of  melanin.  Although  there  is  no  difference  in  melanocyte  density  among  different  racial  groups,  previous  studies  indicate  that  darker  skin  has  larger  melanocytes  producing  more  melanin  and  melanosomes  are  distributed  individually  in  keratinocytes.1  This  allows  more  effective  absorption  and  deflection  of  ultraviolet  light.
