Nothing to figure out. It just IS melanin.

That would be melanin (just as an aside- melanin is what gives freckles their dark coloration)

---

Melanin is naturally occuring in the skin at different levels. People with fair skin have far less melanin than those with tanner skin. The level of melanin can change as a response to exposure to sunlight (this is why you get tan). This, however, can impact levels of vitamin D in the body. Very dark skin needs more exposure to sunlight to produce the same levels of Vitamin D than a person with fair skin does.
