What layer of the skin contains melanin? The epidermis layer of the skin contains melanin producing cells, so I would assume that is the layer with melanin in it. What layer of skin produces melanin? Melanocytes, which produce melanin, are found in the basal layer of the epidermis, also called the stratum basale.
The pigment melanin is not distributed randomly throughout the top layer of skin cells, the keratinocytes.
