Try water, rosewater, some panthenol, your favorite essential oil, and your favorite regular oil. Right now I use water, evoo, eucalyptus, cassia oil, and sometimes add rosewater or wheat germ oil for that extra moist / shiny feel.
Also you can easily take your favorite conditioner water it way down and add a growth aid and call it your own braid mix. I do that in the summer and it works like a charm when I'm not feeling glycerin
