I sense that the carrier is water based, and won't burn.
Please try it, and write up what you find. I could easily be
mistaken.

On an outdoor trip a couple weeks ago. I tried foamy
Vaseline hand cream, for fire starter. Useless. Finally, I
read the label and find out it's about 15% vaseline. Which
means 85% water. Oops.

Mineral oil "baby oil" is combustible. Also most kinds of
cooking oil will burn. Cooking oil takes some convincing to
get it to burn. But, some cooking oil in paper towel will
burn for a while after it lights.

I am going to experiment with q-tips and triple antibiotic
ointment like
neosporin to see if it will behave like vaseline when lit.
It looks and
feels similar, maybe it will burn the same way. If so, the
q-tips can serve
a dual purpose.
