We will not go into details about how the soup is made from the nests and how they are used in medicine. We are interested in how this works in cosmetology and, in particular, in creams.

When solidified, saliva turns into a brownish crust. The most valuable nests are built by the gray swiftlet, they are white without any impurities. Swallow's nests are a product rich in micro and macro elements. The most important component of the swallow's nest is the glycoprotein biomolecule, which combines carbohydrate and protein.

How the valuable extract of the swallow's nest is obtained

Salangan live in caves and grottoes, so hunting for their nests is dangerous and difficult. People who dig for nests must be not only courageous, but also physically strong and agile. After all, they often have to climb steep cliffs or tall bamboo forests. Therefore, the price for this product is high. These birds are so shy that, if they are carelessly prey, they can leave the nesting place forever. The largest place for the extraction of quality nests is Vietnam, Khanh Hoa province. (Although, every country where this product is mined considers itself the largest producer of the best nests in the world). Here, all caves where swallows nest naturally are carefully guarded. In addition, the province is actively developing the cultivation of swallows at home. This is not only safe, but will also help to avoid extinction of this species in the future. Swift farms are also common in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
