I think there are various forms of Polyethylene Glycol and a search in CosmeticDatabase reveals many differing results with varying toxicity.

I have very sensitive skin, so I try as much as possible to avoid harsh chemicals. Then I came across an article about the natural products containing such ingredients.

But then again, I'm no expert, I don't know what's right or wrong. http://articles.latimes.com/2008/mar/14/business/fi-natural14 This has got my attention awhile back and was the reason why I switched to organics products.
