Conditioning Soft Plastics in Tacklebox

I keep my soft plastics in quart ziplocs sorted by body type and I keep all the quart bags in a gallon bag. No problems.

Any suggestions on products that can be used to re-lubricate them?

Mineral oil. (NOT mineral spirits)

Add some anise oil (one ounce to one quart of mineral oil) if you want it to smell nice - otherwise there is zero scent.

I can't prove the anise oil will attract bass/sac-a-lait, but I've used it for decades and my freezer (sac-a-lait] and my tournament results (bass) will prove that it doesn't reject fish. I mainly use it to replace the liquid that comes in "Uncle Josh" pork rind bottles.

Back when I used to keep my plastic baits in a tackle box I always squirted mineral oil/anise on them.
Now I just keep them in the original package.

Mine as well, just way too many colors and styles to pull out and put into tackle trays now a days. I then separate colors into 3 one-gallon zip locks and throw all in a soft side tackle bag. I separate by the color of water and conditions, clear water colors in one, dirty water colors in one, and every variation in the middle goes in a third. Most days I'm only picking out of one due to conditions.
