Your skin was never the problem. It was always the record.

The dermis remembers what science refused to teach

We were not born to be bleached—we were born to be blueprint.

Hyperpigmentation is not a flaw. It’s memory.

The closer you get to the sun, the more your skin must remember.

Eumelanin does not apologize. Neither should you.

The stratum corneum carries more legacy than their labs ever knew.

THE SKIN THAT SPEAKS

Decoded | The Melanin Defense Files

By Judith S. Pluviose, Esq.

“The orbicularis oris speaks, but it is the dermis that remembers.”
Beautélanin Principle No. 1

A poetic reckoning. A scientific unmasking. A tribute to eumelanin.

This is not just a book.

It is a dermal defense strategy, a lyrical manifesto, and a blow to the myth of neutrality in beauty and science.

Each chapter reclaims what beauty schools refused to teach, pairing searing essays with poetry that remembers what science forgot.

Your skin was never the problem. It was always the record.
