Steve Chan is Technical Director at EFFECT-PIGMENT, a GMP-certified effect-pigment manufacturer based in Hangzhou, China, exporting to 100+ countries since 2003. He leads the technical team behind the company's pearlescent, glitter and colour-changing pigment ranges.
His writing focuses on the practical side of effect pigments: how substrate and coating chemistry drive luster, how to specify particle size and documentation for food-contact and cosmetic compliance, and how to avoid common defects in coatings, plastics and nail-art formulations. Every guide is original and grounded in recognised standards (FDA 21 CFR Part 73, EU cosmetic regulations, ISO test methods).
Certifications underpinning the product range: FDA, Kosher, ISO 9001 and GMP.
