Vaseline, or petroleum jelly, is not an emulsifier; it is an occlusive agent that helps seal moisture in the skin. Emulsifiers are substances that help mix water and oil by reducing surface tension, while Vaseline does not have this property. Instead, it serves to provide a protective barrier and retain moisture rather than facilitating the blending of different phases in a mixture. Therefore, it's not suitable for use as an emulsifier in formulations.
