Ditto, Proofride, or any leather treatment that primarily includes beeswax.
Beeswax adds "tooth" without softening leather. It's what I've used on my Herman Survivor boots since 1973. I'm still wearing the same pair of boots I bought in 1973 when I was 15.

Tilt the saddle until you don't notice how slippery it is?

It depends on the saddle, and "olde sells Italia" tells me nothing. Is this a plastic saddle with leather cover?
