Dimethicone copolyol stearate is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance is an ester of a dimethylsiloxane-glycol copolymer (silicone derivative) and stearic acid. Dimethicone copolyol stearate preserves the moisture of the skin. Furthermore, the substance acts as an emollient (makes the skin supple and smoothes it) and continues to care for the skin.
