Domestic aesthetic brand FAU, owned by Paran Medicas (2004), was established in 2011. A year later, FAU launched five kinds of ampoules. In 2016 they launched FAU Skin Solution BB, which was distributed in South Korea and also to overseas customers. FAU also participated in domestic and overseas fairs such as in Cosmoprof Hong Kong in Asia and other countries. The brand entered duty-free stores in Korea, such as Lotte, Shinsegae, Shilla and Hyundai. They also expanded to other Asian countries, the United States, Canada and Europe.

The following year, FAU received the Award of the Export Tower of one million dollars on the 59th Trade Day. In 2021, 32 kinds of products completed a skin irritation test; they launched their Shiny Pumpkin Vegan Line; they won first place in the vegan cosmetics category in the Korean Consumer Impression Index and ranked first for four consecutive years in the Korean Consumer Ratings. 21 FAU products have been registered to CPNP in the European Union. They aim to make vegan and cruelty-free products with eco-friendly, reusable packaging and biodegradable materials. FAU uses only natural premium ingredients from nature.    

FAU Co., Ltd. uses the German pronunciation of 'V' to mean 'victory of the skin'. As skin experts, they have imported products that meet Germany's strict good manufacturing practice (GMP) regulations and manufactured high-performance, high-quality products that meet Korean GMP standards. Consumers are losing their skin's natural beauty and health due to external environmental factors or internal stress.

FAU has been supplying cosmetics that can be used by skin experts since 2004 to improve skin that has lost its beauty and health. They develop products by combining pure natural botanical ingredients and state-of-the-art technology. In addition, skin experts are conducting continuous research through FAU's long-standing know-how to deliver more effective therapy methods to customers. In the future, as a global aesthetic brand loved by dermatologists and consumers in 26 countries, including Korea, FAU is constantly researching and striving to restore the natural beauty of the skin.

FAU makes many donations to support the Drinking Water Development project of Ubuntu in Africa, as well as international NGOs, JTS, support for single-parent and low-income families, elderly families living alone, multicultural families and North Korean defectors.
