Answer: Salt and Sugar.

Explanation: The word hydrophilic translates to water loving. These molecules either have full charges like salt, or have partial charges due to polar covalent bonds, like sugar. Salt dissociates in water to form ions. These ions have full charges and interact with the partial charges on water.
