Best Answer

Many edible plant and animal oils and fats are used in cooking and food preparation. In particular, many foods are fried in oil much hotter than boiling water. Oils are also used for flavoring and for modifying the texture of some foods e.g. stir fry.

Almost all oils burn in aerosol form generating heat, which can be used directly, or converted into other forms of fuels by various means. The oil that is pumped from the ground is then shipped via oil tanker to an oil refinery.

Crude oil can be processed into petroleum; 'petrochemicals' are chemical products made from raw materials of petroleum or other hydrocarbon origin. They are used in products such as detergents, fertilizers, medicines, paints, plastics, synthetic fibres, and synthetic rubber.

Can you use tea tree pets shampoo on humans?

The short answer is a qualified yes. There are tea-tree oil shampoos made for humans, which are designed to be used frequently (daily if needed). The pet products tend to be high concentrations of a lower grade oil. Higher concentrations because the shampoo has to work through a thick pelt and tends not to be used daily. And a lower grade oil as there are fewer restriction on what can and can not be used in pet care.
