Default Poly Bushing Grease Application

So after trying to search a bit for an answer, I see there is great debate on poly vs. rubber.
Well, I already have these polyurethane control arm bushings so I reckon that's what I`m going to use.
My question is in regard to where to apply the grease that came with the new bushings? I assume that I separate the outer shell (they come off fairly easy) and apply the grease there between the bushing and outer shell?
BTW- these little tubes did not say anywhere `do not eat` so I darn near spread some on my toast this morning. just kidding, but funny they put that on desiccants.

I found this video, and it explains where to apply grease. Pretty much what I had thought and this should work even though my bushings are a different brand.
