    AppleTree, a saddle retailer once told me that they use rubbing alcohol to clean returned saddles before offering them for sale again. Maybe alcohol would dissolve the oils on your saddle.

    Well, this won't help you remove the stain, however we have a local guy in Portland and he got tired of all the artificial ingredients/chemicals in his chamois butter, so he concocted his own. He has a website. I've never used chamois creme/butter yet. Here are his ingredients:
    Shea butter has natural anti-inflammatory properties and acts as the base.
    Aloe helps to soothe skin.
    Arnica is rich in vitamins and helps to relieve sore muscles.
    Olive oil keeps the skin moisturized.
    Eucalyptus oil is antiseptic and anti-bacterial, which comes in handy on epic days in the saddle.
    He calls it "Cream of the Gods" and sells it through local bike shops.

    I tried Hoo ha but it didn’t do it for me, it was ok on really short rides but just not good enough on the longer rides. The girls on my group and I use Endur-It, it works great on really long and hard rides, it does not stain and washes out easily. Before I was using Okole Stuff, it worked fine but it was really greasy, hard to wash out and left a yellowish stain on the saddle. After using almost every major chamois cream I am sold on Endur-It and I really recommend giving it a try
