"The small esters are fairly soluble in water but solubility falls with chain length.
The reason for the solubility is that although esters can't hydrogen bond with themselves, they can hydrogen bond with water molecules. One of the slightly positive hydrogen atoms in a water molecule can be sufficiently attracted to one of the lone pairs on one of the oxygen atoms in an ester for a hydrogen bond to be formed." http://www.chemguide.co.uk/organicprops/esters/background.html

This is a good reference tool. You can print it out and take it with you to the drug store. The numbers have to do with how bad of a pore-clogging ingredient it is: 5 is the worst.

Ionic compounds (like alcohols) are soluble only in polar solvents (eg. water).
Use of borane in THF in organic synthesis?
Borane takes aldehydes to primary alcohols and ketones to secondary alcohols it also reduces esters but only slowly
What is the ease of solubility in monohydricalcohols?
Most of the compounds soluble in water are also soluble in methyl and ethyl alcohols but as the no of carbon of monohydric alcohols increases the solubility of polar compounds becomes decreased.
