The best stuff is PTFE based, "Superlube" for $5 on Amazon. This is a "food-grade" lube which means it is ok to use on food prep equipment (not to eat) and is non-reactive. It is what "everyone" recommends for 3D printed gearboxes. amazon.com/Super-Lube-21030-Synthetic-Grease <https://www.amazon.com/Super-Lube-21030-Synthetic-Grease/dp/B000XBH9HI/ref=asc_df_B000XBH9HI/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167152075853&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2257681426504032291&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031026&hvtargid=pla-315922229188&psc=1>
Teflon is good stuff. It has low friction and is 100% non-reactive. I don't know what a carrier is but if the stuff is "food grade" i'd guess it is mostly harmless.
