Tyler,
To limit the stack effect, you don't need a product. You need to perform a series of tasks. Collectively, these tasks are called air sealing. The work is usually performed by a weatherization crew or a home-performance contractor.
If you want to do the work yourself, here are two articles to explain what you need to do:
