Vernix caseosa

1. is the "waxy" or "cheesy" white substance found coating the skin of newborn humans. It is secreted by the fetus's sebaceous glands in utero, and is hypothesized to have antibacterial properties."Vernix" is the Latin word for "varnish." The vernix varnishes the baby. "Caseosa" is "cheese" in Latin

Vernix is composed of sebum (the oil of the skin) and cells that have sloughed off the fetus' skin.

2. For the town in France, see Vernix, Manche - commune of the Manche département, in France.

I'll have the parma ham and Vernix caseosa on rye, lightly toasted with a side of potato salad and green onion

vernix-style

A delicious way to have your French toast with enough butter and powdered sugar on it to make a thick paste that resembles vernix.

Me: I'll have my French toast vernix-style, please.

Man: What does that even mean?

Woman: Please stop calling it that, it's disgusting. I'm not hungry any more.

Me: More French toast for me, then.
