How to protect car's leather & vinyl steering wheel?

Do u guys think a hand moisturizer cream can causes the leather steering or vinyl steering to peel and crack. I encounter this on my previous car's leather steering and now my mom's car....? My previous car becoz every time I get back the car from my ex-gf, the steering is oily and greasy. She use hand lotion and sun protection lotion. And I notice my leather steering started to crack from that point on...?

Now I notice this problem on my mom's 1 1/2 yr old car. She has some skin problems and she uses hand lotion often. Now it's looks like the vinyl steering wheel's coating is peeling off. How do u guys usually clean a steering wheel?

I can't use chemical on it coz I don't know if it will have any side effect on my mom's skin problem...? Her skin is also sensitive to some detergent. Do you think I should just leave the peeling steering alone for my mom's sake. Or what kind of other ways could I clean & protect the steering from getting worse. Thanks.
