Body Hydration

Italian marine body lotion and emulsion — deep, lasting hydration that restores skin's natural moisture balance without a heavy or greasy feel.

Dry, tight-feeling skin is usually a hydration problem, not an oil problem — and the two call for different products. Fabbrimarine’s Hydra Body Emulsion is built on polysaccharides, oligosaccharides and amino acids that restore the skin’s natural water balance directly, rather than simply sealing in whatever moisture is already there.

Why hydration and moisture aren’t the same thing

Moisture generally refers to oil content — how much a product seals the surface. Hydration refers to actual water content within skin cells. Skin can be oily and dehydrated at the same time, which is part of why a heavier, oil-rich product doesn’t always solve a tightness or flaking problem. An emulsion built on humectant actives like polysaccharides and amino acids addresses hydration specifically — drawing and holding water within skin, rather than just coating the surface.

How this differs from body oil

An emulsion hydrates from within and absorbs quickly enough for daytime use under clothing. Body oil works differently — sealing existing moisture at the surface, best applied to damp skin after showering. Many people use both, at different times of day; see our body oil guide for that side of the routine.

How to use it

Apply daily, ideally on slightly damp skin right after showering — that’s when hydrating products absorb most effectively and lock in the most water. For very dry or flaking areas (elbows, knees, shins), a second application in the evening can help.

Common questions

Frequently asked

In practice the terms overlap — both describe a lighter, faster-absorbing hydrator than a heavy cream or oil. Fabbrimarine's Hydra Body Emulsion is formulated to restore the skin's own moisture balance rather than just sit on the surface.
Daily, ideally on slightly damp skin right after showering — that's when hydrating products absorb most effectively and lock in the most moisture.
Yes, for general dryness. If flaking is severe, persistent or accompanied by irritation, that may need a dermatologist's input alongside your regular routine.
Yes — it's formulated as a daily-use product, not a concentrated treatment, so there's no need to cycle on and off the way you would with a mask or intensive cream.
Yes — oiliness is about surface oil production, dehydration is about internal water content, and the two are independent. A hydrating emulsion addresses water content specifically, which is why it can help oily skin too, not just dry skin.
Yes, and a second application in the evening on those specific areas can help if daily use alone isn't enough — dry patches often need more frequent attention than the rest of the body.
