No. And a look here shows that it is not a suitable lubricant for high oxygen environments. http://www.super-lube.com/where-to-use-super-lube-ez-160.htm
Alll things considered I think there are better choices.

I have used it with good results. You can use any food grade silicone grease on your reg as long as you breathe air.
If I remember correctly, Super-0-lube is a Parker brand name. It is silicone based and can be used on any non-silicone o-ring (as it will cause swelling of silicone rubber) and as noted above, not good for high O2 levels (above 40%)
I have used this Parker grease and it works fine, except that after a couple of years as the oil begins to separate from it, it gets thicker and darker....not a problem if you're just lubricating o-rings as will probably not notice it.

Edit: Ooops. I just noticed you typed "SuperLube" not Super-O-Lube. I don't know anything about it, but there are some interesting results if you Google SuperLube edible...
