Dimethicone copolyol phosphate is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance is an ester of a dimethylsiloxane-glycol copolymer (silicone derivative) with phosphoric acid. Dimethicone copolyol phosphate acts as a moisturizer and emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together).
