Oils extracted from plants have been used since ancient times and in many cultures.  Many vegetable oils are consumed directly, or indirectly as ingredients in food – a role that they share with some animal fats, including butter, ghee, lard, and Schmaltz. 

Many vegetable oils are used to make soap, skin products, candles, perfumes and fragrances as well as other personal care and makeup products. Some oils are particularly suitable as drying oils, and are used in making paints, dyes, ink and other wood treatment products. Dammar oil (a mixture of linseed oil and dammar resin) is used almost exclusively in treating the hulls of wooden boats. Vegetable oils are increasingly being used in the electrical industry as insulators as vegetable oils are not toxic to the environment, biodegradable if spilled and have high flash and fire points.
