Abrasive and harmful agents
The problem here is the word "escoriante", which literally translates to 'excoriate' in English. I don't feel comfortable using 'excoriating agents', so another word needs to be used in it's place, hence my suggestion "harmful", as in harmful to the skin.
Here is a dictionary definition (in English) of 'excoriate':
ex·co·ri·ate
verb
2.
MEDICINE
damage or remove part of the surface of (the skin).
synonyms: abrade, rub away, rub raw, scrape, scratch, chafe;

... 'in its place', excuse my rushed input.
