THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
On the Frog Lube website you will see it implied that frog lube was developed by a navy SEAL.

Frog Lube was founded by CAPT Larry Lasky, US Navy SEAL (ret), who spent the past 32 years in service to the United States Special Operations Command, Naval Special Warfare and to the U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines whose gallant performance he attributes to every success on any mission and on any battlefield he has served. After a career of uncounted operations in every environment from jungle, to arctic, to maritime and desert, he’s seen the impact of these extremes on weapons and equipment. He felt the best equipment, products and weapons always came from combining the most arduous conditions and the solutions created by the world’s best field “operators”. He’s taken this ethos into product development with FrogLube, a new technology lubricant...



Though if you dig around the distributors website you will see claims it was "discovered" in a civil war cannon then reverse engineered from that sample.


"FROGLUBE® may be more revolutionary than new, because it has been around since the mid 1800’s and possibly longer! FROGLUBE® was discovered in a rural Pennsylvania barn six years ago by a group of mechanics and engineers who wanted to shoot a cannon. These men loved to shoot muzzle loaded black powder rifles in competition. At one event, they witnessed the firing of an old cannon. Intrigued, they went on the hunt for a cannon of their own to shoot.
A farmer they met told them he had a cannon in his barn that had been in his family since the 1860’s. if they could get it to work, they could use it. Upon inspection of the cannon, they discovered a mass of goo inside the smoothbore barrel. After removing the goo, they discovered the barrel was free of rust and pitting.
They questioned the farmer about how often he cleaned the barrel and he replied that his cannon had been sitting here since the end of the Civil War and to the best of his knowledge, had never been cleaned.
The men decided to send a sample of the goo to a chemist in order to discover what it was, and eventually, how to make more. They used some of it at work, discovering that the goo reduced wear between metal parts and acted as a lubricant long after it was wiped off. It also adds life to urethane wheels, rubber “O” rings, plastic, nylon and other durable surfaces. It can also be welded through, unlike oil.
Thus was created FROGLUBE®..."


On further investigation it appears it may be roller coster track lube repackaged to make it green and smell different.

What you cant find anywhere is what is actually in it? Is is a soy bean based product. Is it essentially crisco dyed green and scented?

Why the lack of details on the ingrediants and the cloudy background story?

The only thing I have really seen on it

http://centermassgroup.com/2011/07/don’t-waste-time-cleaning-weapons/
FrogLube is a biobased cleaner, lube and protectant (CLP) made from food grade ingredients. Its petroleum – free (and actually smells good!) and works by actually absorbing into metal pores. It cleans at room temperature and dissolves carbon and active corrosion on contact. Unlike other lubes, it will not ‘bake on’ during firing. FrogLube drastically reduces my cleaning time, eliminates friction and provides lasting protection from rust.


I'll stick with Breakfree CLP, RemOil and TW25B.

I actually just removed all the CLP from my HD shotgun and greased it back up with TW25B. I had over oiled it with CLP (it was late and I was too lazy to put the TW25B back on it) and spent a minute every night for the last 3 months wiping CLP off the stock as it kept running off...
