Is every grease a lubricating grease?

Lubricating grease is a specific type of product designed for the lubrication of industrial, automotive, and other mechanisms.  It is formulated from lubricating oil (petroleum, vegetable, or synthetic), performance additives, and a thickener.  It is distinguished from other materials that are commonly called grease, such as cooking oil, animal fat, and even hair care preparations.
