There was a similar question a few months ago on our French website (Ecohabitation) where a reader had found an adhesive that claimed to be 100% non-toxic and they were asking if it was available locally in Quebec. If a product like that existed it would almost certainly carry a certification, and a researcher at Ecohabitation checked through Ecologo, Greenguard, Green Seal and the Scientific Certification System(SCS), and that particular product did not appear anywhere.
To the best of our knowledge there are no epoxies that are non-toxic and safe for those with chemical sensitivities, so if one existed it would be big news. We can’t say for sure there aren’t any, so if by some chance you are able to find one please let us know. You can learn more about stone and other green kitchen counters here -

Engineered stone is a composite material made of crushed stone bound together by an polymer resin. Some versions use cement mix as the binder. Marble and quartz are the most commonly used crusted stones.
