Is lithium stearate soluble in a non-polar solvent

Lithium stearate is a lithium salt of stearic acid, which is a long-chain fatty acid. As such, it is largely a non-polar compound due to the lengthy hydrocarbon tail of the stearate ion. However, as an ionic compound, lithium stearate is not very soluble in non-polar solvents like hydrocarbons (e.g., hexane or petroleum ether). Ionic compounds typically prefer polar solvents (such as water or alcohols) for dissolution. In summary, lithium stearate is not soluble in non-polar solvents.
