You can find some possible things here.
But finding replacements that work as well as the ingredients you suggested is not a simple task. There is a reason those ingredients have been used in cosmetics for so many years.

@Perry, thanks.
Babassu oil, castor oil, argan oil, shea butter can replace lanolin or petroleum with the same values? -
Sure, you can try any of those. Lanolin, Petrolatum & Mineral Oil are hydrocarbons. So any hydrocarbon is a potential replacement. Whether it works well or not is a different question. To get the answer to that you have to experiment.
