A common epidermoid skin cyst "sac" is a thin wall of skin-like cells called the stratified squamous epithelium - similar to the outer layer of your skin. These cells shed keratin - which you #popaholics know is the protein found in skin, hair and nails. This keratin builds up inside the sac as thick, sometimes cheesy-looking material like you see here. The wall and the contents are different: the sac is living tissue while the filling is mostly shed keratin. The lining can keep producing keratin which is why it's so important to get the sac out or else it can just refill!
