Solution

The correct option is A Sebum
  • Specialized glands in the dermis, called sebaceous glands, are responsible for the production of these natural oils.
  • Natural oils give our skin a radiant glow and good appearance.
  • Normally, the sebaceous glands, which are present in the deeper layers of the skin, produce sebum to lubricate the skin surface and form a barrier preventing the evaporation of moisture from the top layers of the skin. Hence, Skin's natural oil is called as Sebum.
So, the correct answer is 'Sebum'.
