Dimethiconol mohwa butterate is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance is a reaction product of fatty acids of mohwa butter and dimethiconol. Chemically, dimethiconol is a silicone compound with a similar structure as dimethicone (Dimeticon). Only the terminal CH3 group was replaced by a hydroxyl group (-OH). The substance acts as a skin care product and emollient (makes the skin supple and smoothes it).
