I just want to know how you can make some. And please, don't tell me to add cooking oil to my cube, my friend already tried it and his cube got slower. Any way to make it like the dnm-37 or something?

Is there any way to make custom lube from homemade ingredients?

tbh, I would recommend just spending a few dollars on some stuff online. They're all going to be better than homemade stuff because they've been specifically designed to improve cubes. I've seen some videos online, but idk. I just got some Silk lube from the cubicle, and it works way better than any stuff I would use at home.
Only thing I tried was I think vitamin E oil?... idk, it was one of mom's cosmetics lol. Still, it would probably be about the same price, if not more, for an actual lube.

I don't think that it is possible to "make" your own lube if you arent a chemist with a professional lab.
One thing you could try is to use some other kinds of silicone lube.
There is a wiki entry on this page about lubricants

I tried this in the beginning with some cheap cubes because there is no cube shop in my area, but ended with ordering some lubes from the internet.
I don't think that there is magic in the specific lubes from the cubeshop.
It's just some kind of silicone oil they buy cheap, fill it into little bottles and sell it expensive.
But they are tested and proven good by many cubers.
Even if it's expensive, a little bottle last forever.
