    We can’t tell you that, you might be a spy.
    You’ll have to try it yourself and see.
    PS drop the result in dead letter box #97.

    HLB is an acceptable initial approach to select
    surfactant. Nevertheless it’s quite simple system, and does not give indication
    on the structure of the surfactant. Lecithin and steareth-2 are very different
    molecules, so I agree with Belassi  you have to try
