Dimethicone copolyol mango butterate is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance is an ester of a dimethylsiloxane-glycol copolymer. It acts as a moisturizer (preserves the moisture of the skin; increases the water content of the skin, moisturizes) and as an emollient (softens and smoothes the skin).
