Probably..if chemicals are used of any kind..it will be to a certain extent.
I guess a non toxic form can be found,but in general like any other alternative option it will be rare because it will be more expensive.
Heres a list of toxic chemicals

Vegetable oil to get varnish off then soap and water :)
Varnish preserves wood better than paint.
A lot of resins are used in varnishes. Printer's varnish uses copal resin, polyurethane varnish uses polyurethane, amber varnish contains amber.
Depends on the quality and amount you buy. A litre of average varnish is about $9-10 in Canada.
Varnish does not always include shellac. It's usually a combination of a drying oil, a resin, and a thinner. Go to the wikipedia link below to read all about varnish.
When applying non-toxic varnish to wood toys for children, it is important to follow these best practices to ensure safety: Use varnish specifically labeled as non-toxic and safe for children's toys. Apply the varnish in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes. Allow the varnish to fully cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before giving the toy to a child. Check for any rough or sharp edges on the toy before and after varnishing to prevent injuries. Regularly inspect the toy for wear and tear, and reapply varnish as needed to maintain safety.
You want the varnish to be insoluble in water and common household solvents so you can do routine things like wash your hands and cook food without your nail polish coming off. OTOH, you want the varnish to be soluble in a chemical that's not overly toxic so it can be removed when it's damaged or your nails have grown out.
Black lacquer is obtained from the varnish tree that yields a toxic exudation. The chemical name of black lacquer is pyroxylin.
No, resin is not a varnish .
No varnish will cover beeswax
A lot of resins are used in varnishes. Printer's varnish uses copal resin, polyurethane varnish uses polyurethane, amber varnish contains amber.

Sure but you may set yourself up of a secondary infection due to the matter that forms in the piercing that needs to be washed away. Don't mess around, just take out the jewellery and leave the tissue alone, it will close when it is ready to. Varnish or lacquer can be toxic when applied to the skin.
I used varnish to clean the kitchen table.
Yes, as varnish is toxic to humans via breathing the vapours. Polyurethane varnish containing TDI is one of the most toxic varieties. At high concentrations for short periods of time it will cause irritation to the respiratory system (among other problems) in humans. Given that cats also breathe air, I would advise to keep kitty away from fresh varnish vapours (e.g. garage, friends house). Also, the toxicity data is based on the mass of an average human male. Therefore, the effects on smaller creatures can be expected to be worse. The TDI varnishes can take up to one week to completely cure. It is likely that the worst of the solvent vapours would be gone after 1 day, and it would be reasonably safe for people and cats to sleep in the same area.
Applying kerosene on varnish can potentially dissolve or damage the varnish due to its properties as a solvent. It may also alter the appearance or finish of the varnish. It is not recommended to use kerosene on varnish surfaces unless you are looking to remove or strip the varnish entirely.
