It means it doesn’t contain chemicals that cause damage to the body. Some people are concerned about long term exposure such as ingesting residue or getting it on their skin that some folks may be sensitive to.

Also non-toxic means that if it is accidentally ingested in concentrated form or gets on the skin or in the eyes it shouldn’t cause severe damage usually caused by chemicals

>Usually caused by chemicals

I need to point out that everything you encounter and interact with, including the oxygen that you breath, is a chemical. Please don't use language like this, it just perpetuates anti-science nonsense

Of course everything is made of chemicals, when referring to chemicals I mean the ones that are harmful.

I'm very glad that you recognize the difference, but saying "dangerous chemicals" instead of just "chemicals" prevents others that don't understand the difference as well from perpetuating anti-science nonsense.
