+1 for mineral oil.

Watch out for some common vegetable kitchen oils they can be
slightly acidic.

Mineral oil can be found in almost any drugstore. Ask if you
cannot find it and if you have a cutting board it is the ideal oil
to apply there. Pharmacy grade/ Food safe mineral oil has lots
of other uses too. Looking on the web it is $5.00 for a pint at my
local drug store.
