I have an old Turbo saddle that was on a bike I purchased used (and didn't see it up close) and I use Desert Essence coconut body lotion, it is all vegan and smells quite nice and the saddle seems to be doing ok. I at the time didn't realize the saddle was made of animal skins and probably would have avoided the bike based on that.
However on my Brooks, I use nothing because I don't need to because it is made from cotton canvas and natural rubber. +1 for Cambium.
If you are worried about fungus then try adding some tea tree oil to the body lotion or separately.
