Next Question. The main ingredient in eggshells is calcium carbonate (the same brittle white stuff that chalk, limestone, cave stalactites, sea shells, coral, and pearls are made of). The shell itself is about 95% CaCO 3 (which is also the main ingredient in sea shells).
A very basic egg wash is made by simply lightly beating an egg and brushing it onto the food. Other ingredients, like milk, water, or salt, may be added for a specific finish, and eggs are also frequently separated to make a wash. When one is made from whole eggs beaten with salt, it will be shiny.
