Dimethiconol/silsesquioxane copolymer is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance is a reaction product of dimethiconol and the silsesquioxane copolymer. Chemically dimethiconol is a silicone compound with a similar structure as dimethicone (Dimeticon). Only the terminal CH3 group has been replaced by a hydroxyl group (-OH). The substance acts as a hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume) and as a skin care product.
