Hydrophilic molecules are those that have an affinity for water. Polar molecules have regions of positive and negative charge due to unequal electron sharing (like in water itself). Water molecules (which are polar) are attracted to other polar molecules. Non - polar molecules (like oils) are hydrophobic (water - fearing) as they lack the charge separation needed to interact well with water.
