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.
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.
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.
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.
