water-soluble
Mixes into water
Water-soluble describes substances that dissolve in water.
It's a technical term most commonly encountered on vitamin bottles, where it distinguishes vitamins like C and the B complex (which dissolve in water and pass through the body relatively quickly) from fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K (which accumulate in fatty tissue).
Water-soluble paints clean up easily with soap and water.
