Not sure if this is the right subforum, or if it’s been provided here before but I saw some people with a Diddy-level interest in lubricants so I thought I’d share this for whoever it may benefit.
SOTAR home-brew lube is basically all I use anymore. If you don’t feel like watching the whole video it’s full-synth motor oil, and full-synth red mobil1 grease mixed to the consistency of honey. More runny for colder environments. Any grease would work. $20 for a lifetime supply. I also picked up some Of these brand bottles off amazon to throw in every chest rig & range bag so you’re never without. They’re designed for relatively thin oils so they don’t leak. You can mix it to your own desired viscosity. It’s not natural by any means. I also bring de-lead hand wipes in my range bag and always wash with dawn when I’m home.
If you’re fairly concerned about toxicity of artificial oil interactions then avocado or grape seed are probably your best bet for firearm related endeavors. I’m no scientist but I’d probably be more concerned with the explosion of fumes within 2 feet of your breathing holes, than skin contact(Unless you’re a smoker, but also strange prioritization there). You could probably try a similar method as above mixing beef tallow and whatever cooking oil of choice but I’m not sure if the consistency would stay over time.
