Stanford University scientists have found a way to make skin transparent without damaging it.
They used a popular yellow-orange food dye called FD&C Yellow 5 that is notably used for coloring Doritos .
The dye reduced the difference in refractive index between water and lipids in the skin.
When applied to the mouse’s abdomen, it made all the internal organs, including the liver, bladder and small intestine, visible to the naked eye.
The FD&C Yellow 5 dye is widely available, but replicating Hong’s results at home and making the transparency lotion on your own is not the brightest idea.
The human skin is significantly thicker than mouse skin, with the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis , serving as a substantial barrier.
