Key actives
10Laminaria Japonica Extractplant extract
Laminaria Japonica is kombu kelp. Its extract carries alginates, minerals and iodine, and it is used as a hydrating, mineral-rich ingredient. On this balm's own ingredient list it is named tenth.
11Salicornia Herbacea Extractplant extract
Glasswort, the hamcho that grows on Korean tidal flats. It concentrates sea minerals as it grows, so its extract is used as a mineral-rich hydrating ingredient. It is named eleventh on this balm's list, alongside Laminaria Japonica Extract.
12Sargassum Fulvellum Extractplant extract
Mojaban, a Korean brown seaweed. Its extract carries alginates, minerals and polyphenols and is used as a hydrating marine ingredient. The panel names it twelfth on this balm's list, beside Laminaria Japonica Extract.
13Gelidium Cartilagineum Extractplant extract
A red seaweed extract from the genus agar is made from. It thickens and hydrates and leaves a cushioned film. It is named thirteenth on this balm's list, alongside Laminaria Japonica Extract.
14Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Sprout Extractplant extract
Broccoli sprout extract. Sprouts carry far more sulforaphane than the mature head, which is why the sprout is declared separately. The panel names it fourteenth on this balm's list, beside Laminaria Japonica Extract.

Where each key active sits on the declared ingredient list, by entry number. Position is proportion: the further forward, the larger its share.
Where does this balm go in my routine?
As the final layer of the evening routine, over your usual moisturizer. Anything thinner than a balm goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Laminaria Japonica Extract and not three changes at once.
Does this balm contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Limonene. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this balm is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Laminaria Japonica Extract?
Salicornia Herbacea Extract, Sargassum Fulvellum Extract and Gelidium Cartilagineum Extract. The order they are printed in on this balm's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Laminaria Japonica Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Sprout Extract, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax and Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil.
Not on the ingredient list below: fragrance or parfum, denatured or SD alcohol, silicones, parabens, sulfate surfactants, mineral oil or petrolatum and added color.
Full INCI (17): Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Kernel Butter, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Beeswax, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Laminaria Japonica Extract, Salicornia Herbacea Extract, Sargassum Fulvellum Extract, Gelidium Cartilagineum Extract, Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Sprout Extract, Water, Butylene Glycol, Limonene
Ingredient list read from isoi.co.kr on 30 August 2026.
16 of 17 explained
- Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil emollient
- Castor Oil is thick, glossy and unusually good at dissolving pigment, which is why it dominates lip and cleansing-balm formulas. It is a heavy emollient.
- Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil emollient
- Jojoba Oil is a liquid wax rather than a true oil, and its structure is close to human sebum, which is why it absorbs so readily. It is an emollient that leaves a soft, non-greasy finish.
- Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil emollient
- Meadowfoam Seed Oil is over 95 percent long-chain fatty acids, which makes it exceptionally stable against going rancid. It is an emollient that leaves a soft, sealed feel.
- Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax occlusive
- Candelilla wax, from a desert shrub, and the usual plant substitute for beeswax. It gives sticks and balms a firm, slightly brittle set.
- Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil occlusive
- Plant oil hardened by hydrogenation. It behaves as a soft solid, so it gives balms and sticks their body and slows water loss from the surface.
- Beeswax occlusive
- Beeswax is the wax bees build comb from. In a formula it thickens the oil phase and forms a breathable, water-resisting film, which is what makes a balm hold its shape.
- Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax occlusive
- Carnauba wax comes from a Brazilian palm leaf and is the hardest wax in common cosmetic use. A small amount raises the melting point of a stick sharply.
- Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil fragrance component
- Grapefruit Peel Oil is a citrus essential oil rich in limonene. It scents a formula and belongs to the aromatic class reactive skin often avoids.
- Laminaria Japonica Extract plant extract
- Laminaria Japonica is kombu kelp. Its extract carries alginates, minerals and iodine, and it is used as a hydrating, mineral-rich ingredient.
- Salicornia Herbacea Extract plant extract
- Glasswort, the hamcho that grows on Korean tidal flats. It concentrates sea minerals as it grows, so its extract is used as a mineral-rich hydrating ingredient.
- Sargassum Fulvellum Extract plant extract
- Mojaban, a Korean brown seaweed. Its extract carries alginates, minerals and polyphenols and is used as a hydrating marine ingredient.
- Gelidium Cartilagineum Extract plant extract
- A red seaweed extract from the genus agar is made from. It thickens and hydrates and leaves a cushioned film.
4 more explained
- Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Sprout Extract plant extract
- Broccoli sprout extract. Sprouts carry far more sulforaphane than the mature head, which is why the sprout is declared separately.
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Limonene fragrance component
- Limonene is the citrus-peel aromatic. It appears here because EU labelling requires 26 fragrance components to be named individually rather than hidden inside "fragrance", and it is one of them.

How it works
The Sensitive Skin Moisture Lip Balm is a 5g balm, used as the final layer of the evening routine, over your usual moisturizer. The plant extract it is built around is Laminaria Japonica Extract, named tenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Salicornia Herbacea Extract, Sargassum Fulvellum Extract and Gelidium Cartilagineum Extract, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Laminaria Japonica Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the balm format rather than by the list alone. isoi sells this Laminaria Japonica Extract balm in Korea, and this is that version.
How to use
- Pat or sweep onto clean skin right after cleansing, morning and night, before serum or moisturizer, to prep the skin for what follows.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this balm on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Laminaria Japonica Extract on the list.
- This list names Limonene, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
