Oyster extract? That's a new one on me.

 

Also Korean cosmetic labeling standards are as good as US ones, but they list their ingredients differently.  So you can't really guestimate the concentrations from looking at the label unless you know they have been standardized to the US format.

For me the list of ingredients is just way too long. Makes me uncomfortable. Anti-freeze and petroleum distillates aren't my cup of tea.
