Whatever you use don't use Neatsfoot Oil, it will soften your holster till it becomes sloppy & mis-shaped. You might try Lexol on the belt loop that is usually where noise comes from as it moves against the belt at every step. I'd really be hesitant to use oil etc on the holster body as they can cause the holster to loosen up.

Wear it and break it in.  My CC holster stopped squeaking after about a week of constant use.

I stopped my saddle from squeeking by covering the insides  with baby powder.
