Don't worry about it. Even if it has some metal in it, it works...
But there is a marine formula if your that concerned.

The "original" anti-seize compound and extreme pressure lubricant formulated with copper, graphite, aluminum and other ingredients to protect metal parts against rust, corrosion and seizure up to 1800ºF. Fine metallic and graphite particles in special grease protect parts even in high heat, high pressure and corrosive environments. Ford ESE-M12A4-A, Garrett Engine Div. PCS5724, Pratt & Whitney PWA 360523-2 and tested to MIL-A-907.

The permatek brand (Loctite) is also well suited for marine applications. Frankly I've never heard or seen issues with the regular stuff. I've also used it on my prop shaft (with a bit of grease), and its come right off every year.
