How it works
The SAEM Urban Eco Harakeke Emulsion 130ml is a Korean color and skincare brand known for approachable, everyday formulas, formulated as an emulsion for the Korean market rather than a US-shelf reformulation. Sodium Hyaluronate is a lower-molecular, water-soluble hyaluronic acid derivative that draws and holds moisture at the surface, supporting a plumper, more comfortable feel. It sits at position 14 of 27 ingredients on this row's own list, ahead of most of the formula's supporting agents. Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, marigold, is a calming botanical used in Korean formulation to support a soothed, more comfortable-looking complexion. Further down the list, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Fruit Extract appears at position 12 of 27, adding a supporting layer rather than the lead role.
Key benefits
- Sodium Hyaluronate closes out the back half of the list at position 14 of 27, a supporting rather than lead role.
- Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract appears at position 13 of 27 on the ingredient list, ahead of most of the formula's supporting agents.
- Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Fruit Extract appears at position 12 of 27 on the ingredient list, ahead of most of the formula's supporting agents.
- Fragrance is listed, so this is a scented rather than fragrance-free formula.
- Comes sized at 130ml, the Korean-market fill rather than a US-repackaged size.
- Ships as The SAEM's Korean-market formula, with the Korean barcode and batch code intact on the box.
How to use
- Apply after essence or serum as a lightweight moisture step before a heavier cream if needed.
What is the The SAEM Urban Eco Harakeke Emulsion 130ml?
It is The SAEM's emulsion. Sodium Hyaluronate is a lower-molecular, water-soluble hyaluronic acid derivative that draws and holds moisture at the surface, supporting a plumper, more comfortable feel. Apply after essence or serum as a lightweight moisture step before a heavier cream if needed.
What does Sodium Hyaluronate do in the The SAEM Urban Eco Harakeke Emulsion 130ml?
Sodium Hyaluronate is a lower-molecular, water-soluble hyaluronic acid derivative that draws and holds moisture at the surface, supporting a plumper, more comfortable feel. It sits at position 14 of 27 on this row's own ingredient list.
Who is the The SAEM Urban Eco Harakeke Emulsion 130ml suited for?
It suits normal, combination and oily skin looking for lightweight daily moisture. Fragrance is on the ingredient list, so anyone avoiding added scent should check the list before buying. The SAEM sells this as the same formula stocked on Korean shelves, not a version built for US retail.
How do I use the The SAEM Urban Eco Harakeke Emulsion 130ml?
Apply after essence or serum as a lightweight moisture step before a heavier cream if needed. Give it a few weeks in that slot before judging the result, since an emulsion works cumulatively rather than after one use.
Is the The SAEM Urban Eco Harakeke Emulsion 130ml the authentic Korean-market formula?
Yes. We stock The SAEM's Korean-market formula rather than a version reformulated for US shelves. What ships is the 130ml unit sold on Korean shelves, with the Korean barcode and batch code intact on the box.

Ingredient list read from inkeedecoder.com on 10 September 2026.
23 of 26 explained
- Water(Aqua) 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.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate emollient
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate is a light ester emollient that gives a dry, silky finish and disperses pigment evenly.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin) emollient
- Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin) is a synthetic hydrocarbon emollient. It gives a smooth, silicone-like glide and is completely stable, so it does not go rancid.
- C14-22 Alcohols fatty alcohol
- C14-22 Alcohols is a declaration for a mixture of long-chain fatty alcohols. They thicken a cream and hold the emulsion together.
- C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside emulsifier
- C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside is a sugar-derived emulsifier used in mild, plant-based cream bases.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Blackcurrant fruit extract, unusually high in vitamin C and anthocyanins. It is used as a plant antioxidant.
- Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract plant extract
- Marigold flower extract, one of the oldest plant ingredients used for the look of reddened, easily bothered skin. It carries carotenoids and flavonoids.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate humectant
- Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate carries a positive charge, and skin carries a slight negative one, so it is attracted to the surface and stays through rinsing. It is the hyaluronic used where a formula gets washed off.
11 more explained
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid humectant
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid cut into much shorter fragments. The smaller the fragment, the further into the outer layer it can settle, which is why serums stack several sizes together instead of using one.
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid modified to be part oil-loving, so it clings to skin instead of rinsing away. Formulators call it the one that stays put.
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer is hyaluronic acid linked into a mesh. It holds water in a soft gel on the surface rather than sinking in, and it releases that water slowly through the day.
- Hyaluronic Acid humectant
- Hyaluronic Acid is a sugar chain the body already makes, and one gram of it can hold several litres of water. In a formula it is a humectant that pulls water to the surface of skin and holds it in a film, which is what makes skin look plumper while it is there.
- Potassium Hyaluronate humectant
- Potassium Hyaluronate is another salt of hyaluronic acid, used for the same reason as the sodium form: it dissolves easily and holds a large amount of water in the outer layer of skin.
- Carbomer thickener
- Carbomer is a synthetic polymer that only gels once a base neutralises it, which is why arginine or tromethamine sits nearby on the list. It gives the clear, non-stringy gel texture a xanthan formula cannot reach.
- Tromethamine pH adjuster
- Tromethamine neutralises acidic thickeners such as carbomer so they gel, and holds a formula near skin-friendly pH. It is used at a fraction of a percent.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- 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.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Fragrance(Parfum) fragrance
- Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
