☀️ Sunlight, Skin, and the Quiet Alchemy of Vitamin D
From section: 🔬 A waiting molecule in the skinAt this scale, the skin is more than a protective barrier. It becomes a site of photochemistry, where light reshapes a molecule and begins a pathway that continues after the illumination ends. The next transformation requires no additional UVB. It proceeds gradually through the warmth of the skin itself.
