Dimethicone copolyol laurate is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance is an ester of a dimethylsiloxane-glycol-copolymer and lauric acid. The substance acts as a moisturizer (preserves the moisture of the skin; increases the water content of the skin, moisturizes) and as an emollient (makes the skin supple and smooth).
