Hi everyone,
I frequently find the word sensoriale/sensorialità used in Italian cosmetics.
Here's an example:
Fondotinta in polvere compatta dalla sensorialità cremosa e vellutata si fonde con la pelle...
I am not a fan of the word sensorial to be honest, but clients, especially Italian ones, seem to love it for some reason.
Do you think this sounds right:
"Compact powdered fountain with a creamy and velvety sensorially melts onto skin..."
I think a similar meaning can be conveyed in English with the word Feel instead:
"Compact powdered foundation with a creamy and velvety feel melts onto skin..."
Looking forward to your comments.
Thanks!

Feel / Sensation
You should go for one of these, but I would choose "feel" above "sensation", which is often used for foods and taste.
Example sentence:
"Thanks to the revolutionary Second Skin Technology innovation, its unique formula leaves a VELVETY FEEL on the skin and offers matte appearance for 6 hours which softens the appearance of wrinkles. "
"The moisturizer itself has a calming, firming sensation on my face, while the facial cleanser has a very creamy SENSATION."
