Very small amount of ultra violet rays are incident along with normal light rays on the human body which helps convert the skin oil into vitamin D.

Ultra violet rays are absorbed by Ozone layer, then how could it comes to skin.

Not direct UV rays strike the skin. The filtered UV rays from ozone, which are non destructive indulge in this process.

@Raji

Skin oils are nothing but white lipid substance beneath our skin.

Ozone layer is the protective layer. Its chemical composition is O3. It absorb ultra violet ray, which is very harmful for us. But now a day, due to heavy pollution layer become destroy. The main harmful gass is carbon-mono-oxide, chloro-fluro-carbon.

Ozone layer either pass uv rays or stop them. Whats the meaning of filtered uv rays. Sunlight is filtered no doudt through ozone. Moreover uv rays are of short wavelength, if it penetrate in skin, it would cause skin cancer or may cause mutation in cells. Sunlight stimulate the formation of melanin pigment in the skin layers. Which is helpful in maintaining homeostasis of body.
