Or Google "Magic Lube teflon". That's what I use for pool eqpt O rings and similar. Same idea, it's paste like, doesn't dry out and may in fact be silicone based. The Magic Lube or similar a pool supply place should have.
Isn't this what everyone uses,

$2.99 for the same size container, and sold by Danco, the same ones who sell the first one.
So what's the difference? It doesn't use the world silicone but what does that mean in practice.
Good of you to ask while you're on the way. I'm guessing yo're home by now.
