I've got another patch lube to add to the mix. Someone here might know what it is.
I'm not exactly sure what it is but it's labeled, solvent and patch lube and was sold to me by Green river Rifle Works in SA
It smells like ammonia, is watery, yellow in colour and has soapy feel.

I find it definitely keeps the soot soft and I can load all day long without the need for a clean.
Other than that, sometimes I use a beeswax, lard, neatsfoot oil blend ... it's also good on my leather boots, home brew dubbin,
I find it better for pre-lubing patches,
The only other black powder specific thing I've got is another unknown blend "Gun Oil"
Smells like turpentine, is watery, brown in colour and separates into 3 distinct layers when left to rest... I'm guessing oil of some kind, turpentine, and paraffin oil, wax or lard???
