Dimethiconol duhpa butterate is used in cosmetic formulations. Dimethiconol behenate is a reaction product of fatty acids from duhpa butter (see below dhupa oil, a vegetable oil obtained from the seeds of Vateria indica, a plant species in the family of Dipterocarpaceae) and dimethiconol. Chemically, dimethiconol is a silicone compound that is similar in structure to dimethicone(Dimeticon). Only the terminal CH3 group has been replaced by a hydroxyl group (-OH). The substance acts as an emollient and skin care product.
