Tips for using putty/mortar to plaster on basement walls indoors wanted.
Because there is cement (lime too?) and sand on the wall from before. Then it is very suitable to use the same next time as well. It is also 100% diffusion-open.
Then it is also environmentally and health-related. The curing agents can contain toxic phenols and amines. Fix with plastic always contains toxic biocides. Surfactants, plasticizers, and consistency agents..
I'm not writing here to question my decision to use cement-based. I just wanted help to identify a suitable product

Jones69: Most people who write here both give and receive information. This is not an encyclopedia, but a forum. You can always expect to be questioned. It's just part of it.
Regarding your fear of phenols and amines, I'm pretty sure it's fairly unfounded. Normally, polymers are used in mills to modify rheological properties, not for the actual curing. Amines in the form of diamines are used in epoxy materials, together with epoxides. Both substances should be used with care. If they cure under the right conditions, the resulting material is quite harmless. Phenols are typically used in curing phenol-formaldehyde resins, and in that case, it is primarily the formaldehyde you should be careful with.
I may be a new moderator here, but I have long experience with the forum and even longer experience as a material engineer. You can expect to be questioned.
