Lola Implexa

What is Lola Implexa?

A filamentous green algae found in marine environments, used in skincare for its polysaccharide and mineral content.

Why is it used in products?

It provides conditioning and hydrating benefits, often included in marine-themed natural skincare lines.

Why does it clog pores?

Lola Implexa produces polysaccharides that form a sticky film over pores, trapping sebum and dead skin cells. Its marine mineral content includes iodides that irritate the follicular lining. This makes it a hidden pore-clogger in products marketed as gentle and natural.
