This is an "old school" solution but works: unsalted butter.
The old time, hand-made saddle makers recommended this. I have a 30+ year old saddle that's never had anything but unsalted butter used on it and it looks new.

One I forgot is neatsfoot oil. I know a lot of people that swear by it for saddles and tack.
The leather should be warm, but not hot.
You rub the butter in and it is absorbed. Moisturizes the leather.
This really only works on a leather that has not had a varnish or finish applied like most pistol holsters.
Messy? yes. Smelly? not really, the leather which absorbs it.
+1 For Obenauf’s Heavy Duty LP and their their water shield as well. Used both extensively in a boots soaked in salt water environment and can attest to how well it helped my boots hold up. I’ve also used it on some Saddleback Leather products I own, even over the owner’s penchant to “chamberlains leather milk”. I found that product to make the leather look chalky as it’s a water based. Personally, I stay away from mink and neatsfoot, though.
I've been using some this Bee Balm, which works pretty well: https://beyondclothing.com/products/beyond-bee-balm. I've used in on my Beyond gloves, other leather work gloves, and some other leather products. Handy container, low viscosity and no leaks. Eucalyptus smells pleasant. No ill effects on anything yet.

Bickmore Apache Oil for most of my boots and leather rifle slings. Best stuff!!!
Got a little "squeek" in some Merrells I use in the field. They are a mix of some leather and some fabric. Fabric will be safe is I get some kiwi or something similar accidentally on them won't it?
