KOROLKOVA Mineral hydrogel
Benefits from minerals, elegance and youth from science
For several years, mineral hydrogel has been winning the hearts of our clients. Still it raises plenty of questions: how it works, what its composition is.
Let’s find out why this product is so unique. We will try to give answers to most of your questions, basing them on objective data of scientific medical research of the staff of the institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and other leading research centers, both national and foreign.
The mineral hydrogel appeared three years ago on the basis of the studies carried out by scientists of the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Medical and Technical Sciences. The main course of the work was the research of medical use of mineral waters from deep horizons of Western Siberia, belonging to “iodide-bromine” group. All scientific research in this field and products created on the basis of the research have been certified and received official patent in the ROSZDRAVNADZOR (Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare). The label has the corresponding data on it. Otherwise, as you understand, we would have many problems since the use of our product has become very widespread.
Application field of the product is not limited to cosmetology and makeup design. We will attach several such documents to this post as an example. Now let’s say a few words about the composition: it is not just mineral water with some thickening agent.
The product contains a unique mineral complex, which includes a set of potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium salts, as well as chlorine, bromine, iodine and boron ions (a more detailed composition of minerals with mass content is in the appendix).
This mineral complex is not taken directly in the form of mineral water, but is produced in the laboratory by evaporation and electrolysis. After placing this concentrated mineral complex in a thickening agent, we get not just a solution, but a colloid, i.e. a suspension of mineral particles of a certain size and certain polarization.
To make you understand: the process of penetration of any chemical component into the cell through the membrane is determined not so much by chemistry as by physics: namely, the polarization (charge) of a particle (atom, molecule or compound). This is where the answer lies: why the product works, penetrates deeply and nourishes skin cells, and has “150 functions”.
Now let’s say a few words about the thickening agent. It has a secondary function: the ability to hold a colloid of concentrated mineral complex. The composition of the thickening agent is taken from medicine and is a registered gel additive. It is completely safe and designed for surface interaction with the skin. It is used to manufacture gels for physiotherapy and in medications.
Methylparaben is an ester with pronounced fungicidal and bactericidal properties. It was first extracted from blueberries, and then artificially synthesized. It is actively used in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In the food industry, it is called sodium methylparaben – preservative E-218. Every day you consume it with food or medications. It is found in meat products, confectionery, jams and marmalade, some types of pastries, breakfast cereals, mayonnaise and many other products. In pharmaceuticals, it is used to preserve the properties of ointments, creams, gels, suppositories, tinctures, decoctions, cough syrups, as well as in dressings.
Methylparaben is easily broken down in the human body and has no tendency to accumulate in tissues. Compared to other series of preservatives, it is non-toxic and has no carcinogenic or allergic effects, and is freely excreted from the body naturally (This study has been conducted repeatedly in the USA, Russia and other countries under laboratory conditions). It is approved for use in the European Union.
Methylparaben and breast cancer is another unsupported myth that should be dispelled. One of the popular studies in this area is the work of Philippa Darbre, who found that in cases of breast cancer, high levels of methylparabens were observed in samples of the upper outer quadrant of the affected organ. She attributed this fact to the use of deodorants containing this compound. However, examining samples taken from patients with the disease and not using deodorants, the picture was the same, and mammologists claim that the localization of tumors is most often in this area (the outer quadrant), due to the increased content of adipose tissue there. Thus, the research data not only failed to be confirmed, but also fell to pieces. Therefore, to write that methylparaben can cause cancer is a mere talk, absolutely groundless accusations which are not based on anything.
There has been a lot of hype lately about the use of a number of parabens. Indeed, ethylparaben and propylparaben are harmful compounds. The analogy with alcohols is very well chosen here: methanol alcohol is a poison. Ethanol is ordinary food alcohol.
We chose methylparaben as a preservative for a reason. Compared with alcohol-containing preservatives, its use is acceptable on the surface of damaged skin, burns, and children’s skin.
Most often, alcohol preservatives and urea are used in products based on aloe, since it is an organic extract. However, this excludes the use on damaged and sensitive skin.

As for the composition indicated on the labels, it is complete. The only thing it does not include is the composition of the mineral complex, because that would not fit on the label. At this point, we have prepared a series of video and text materials to explain all of this information in detail. However, this is a very demanding and time-consuming issue.
Hydrogel does not contain any fragrances or colorants. There is simply no point in it. All who claim otherwise are mistaken. These very components usually act as the most severe allergic irritants. Also, there are no medicinal ingredients like panthenol and others.
To summarize the above: our product is not a panacea.
It is a very high quality and unique scientific development. Hydrogel and products based on the mineral complex have found wide application in the field of cosmetology. Restorative and regenerative properties have been repeatedly shown to work with dermatitis, burns and other skin injuries.
Hydrogel deeply nourishes, moisturizes, soothes the skin, and relieves puffiness. This happens due to the quality of cell nutrition, as regeneration and repair mechanisms are triggered at the cellular level.
