Most cats (and dogs) will lick anything you put on them like that right off, so not so sure how effective it will be if he just licks it off....
I'm thinking it could be the dust from the litter, but its is odd he's not cleaning w/e it is off himself. If you can, I would ask the vet. If you can't afford to take him in, just call 'em up and ask if it should be a concern enough to bring him in or if you should just keep cleaning it off. If he's always had this buildup- its probably not a big deal, but if its just now a recent occurrence, might be a bit of concern. Could just be caused by allergies.
Good luck.
