enveloping

Alto livello di confidenza perrché Dior è sempre Dior..

This incredibly soft, enveloping creme is the perfect complement to the Night Concentrate, providing skin with a boost of nutrition and maximum filling ability.

neutral James (Jim) Davis : Don't know where Dior is getting its copywriters from, but I would get pretty scared about being enveloped by a cream, or by anything for that matter.

Ciao Jim! That's funny...Dior would never ever scare me for sure! :) In any case, apparently is a term commonly used in the industry.

Embracing

Another idea:

"EMBRACING
Verb
1. to take or clasp in the arms; press to the bosom; hug.
2. to take or receive gladly or eagerly; accept willingly: to embrace an idea.
....
6...to encircle; surround; enclose."
