Cones: List of water soluble/not

[K_Angel]

I was trying to figure out if the cone in my shampoo was water soluble or not, so I went online looking for the answer and came across several places that listed some of the list below. I'm not sure if a list like this has already been compiled, but just in case, here is a small list of Cones: water soluble/not. Hope I'm posting in the right place?

Amodimethicone - not soluble in water by itself

Amodimethicone (and) Trideceth-12 (and) Cetrimonium Chloride - mixture that is soluble in water in the bottle*

Behenoxy Dimethicone - sparingly soluble in water

Cetearyl methicone - not soluble in water

Cetyl Dimethicone - not soluble in water

Cyclomethicone - not soluble in water

Cyclopentasiloxane - not soluble in water

Dimethicone- not soluble in water

Dimethicone Copolyol- water soluble**

Dimethiconol- not soluble in water

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein Hydroxypropyl Polysiloxane - water soluble

Stearoxy Dimethicone - sparingly soluble in water

Stearyl Dimethicone - not soluble in water

Trimethylsilylamodimethicone - not soluble in water

Lauryl methicone copolyol - water soluble

PEG-12 dimethicone - Water soluble silicone, transient conditioning

PEG-8 dimethicone - Water soluble silicone, high molecular weight

Phenyl Trimethicone - not soluble in water

PEG-modified dimethicone – water soluble

*"Amodimethicone is never water soluble after being applied to your hair. It clings like any other silicone that is not water soluble.”

I was just looking for a list of silicones. Of course, TLHC is where I end up. =)
