I think of this as being a "wax" thing.  I'd just use a wax pencil, candle 
wax, or maybe even a crayon.  Like others have said.  Rub it in.  The 
squeaking is due to the cork material vibrating at a high frequency as it 
incurrs friction with the bell brass. If you eliminate the sound producing 
friction without totally drenching the cork in lube (thus destroying the 
grip of the cork), then you should be OK.

I can always use some skin oil. (some kind of Sodium based thing) I'm the 
oily skin type.  Not as good as wax, but a light lube, and quite natural.
