    Sol-Gel has developed silica glass based nano-encapsulates for topical (sunscreen) applications.  Likely adaptable to other solid or semi-solid actives.  Some mention of water dispersibility.  Not sure if applicable to foods.

    Why not launch a Kingsford branded "Natural" or "Eco" firestarter  (maybe a gelled or thickened ethanol with natural colorant and some sodium present to produce yellow flame highlights for consumer feedback on ignition).

    Claims:  natural, renewable resource, no residue, no taste

                 Also confirm no residual alcohol remaining so that it can be used universally.

    As a kid, I learned to light a whole bag of charcoal (regardless of size) by poking holes (about two dozen) somewhat uniformly around the bag as it lies in the grill, (Flipping upsdie down so at least some holes are in bottom), and completing the holes on top and around sides.

    Then light four corners of bag on fire -  25 minutes later - all the coals ready to go. Bag consummed.

    Works everytime.  Beats a starter chimmney which only gets 1/4 to 1/3 of coals ready, then have to kindle the remainder.

    Does not require Match Light bag or fluid.

    Here is a squeezable pouch with child-friendly features that would be a great single-serve salad dressing option.

    Mineral whitener

    Anhydrous food-grade calcium sulfate is also used as a whitening agent for foods (frostings, ice cream, toothpaste).  May also support a claim of product having extra calcium present as a supplement.
