choosing the right counter ?

Hi,
I am about to remodel our kitchen and am in the process of choosing what will be best for me. My big problem is that I am chemically sensitive. I am tired of tile because you have to use bleach for the grout which is very toxic for me and the environment. I thought stone would be a good choice only to learn that it must be sealed. With what ? Another chemical? Could marble or lime stone work with being sealed with pure beeswax? Is it true that there are mold or bacteria problems with these sonte surfaces? I really love the natural feel and look of stone products versus corian etc. . Is there any way for me to have a marble or stone counter without the usse of chemicals for upkeep?
Thank you,
Annette.
