Explanation:
Agree with SwissTell

if you type "substantivity to the skin" on a search engine you should find several sites using this term in a similar context. some will also use "on the skin"

Explanation:
I think here "sostantività" does not mean "being made of the same substance, matter", but "substances, matters being able to react with each other".
