Sperm oil comes from sperm whales, they are an endangered species. Besides the oil was not used so much for cooking as for lighting.
Oil from the sperm whale does not gel up in freezing temps like petrochemical oil does.
Lip gloss is made out of neither. It's acctually made out of jobala oil which comes from the jobala plant not fish scales or whale sperm. However it used to be made out of oil (blubber) from the sperm whale's head. But they didn't use whale sperm.

The sperm whale was hunted almost to extinction for its oil. Whale oil was used to light lamps, and thus there was always a great demand for it -- people needed it the way they need electricity today.

Lip gloss is not made from whale sperm; this is a common misconception. Some cosmetic products historically used a substance called spermaceti, derived from the oil found in the head of sperm whales, but modern formulations typically use synthetic alternatives or plant-based oils. Today, ethical and environmental concerns have led to the discontinuation of whale-derived ingredients in cosmetics. Most lip glosses now use substances like shea butter, beeswax, or synthetic polymers.
For electricity it is still coal, for transport it is oil
