Abstract
Edible bird's nest (EBN) is an ingredient that has been consumed for a long time in Asia as a soup. Not only for soup but also used as a cosmetic. Edible bird's nest has an international Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient (INCI) name of Swiftlet nest extract with listed function as skin conditioning. We summarized and analyzed EBN and its biomedical impact on the skin in recent 5 years to serve as a foundation for future research on the effects of EBN. The EBN contains protein, sialic acid, and Epidermal Growth Factor Hormone (EGF) as important compositions. Not only contain some beneficial compounds, but EBN also contains nitrite and nitrate that consider ingredients that could produce harmful substances. EBN has long been famous for its pharmacological effect on the skin whether as enhancing skin complexion, anti-aging or whitening skin. This article reviews the composition and effect on the skin of EBN. Finally, this article proposed research directions to serve as a foundation for more research on EBN.
