Fa is an international brand for personal care products. It is a subsidiary of German company Henkel AG.[1] Fa products include skin care lotions, creams and gels, as well as shower gels, bubble baths, soaps and deodorants.[2]
Name origin
[edit]The name comes from German: fabelhafte "fabulous" and German: Fadenseife "thread soap".
History
[edit]The first Fa product, a new bar soap, talc powders was launched in 1954 by Henkel-subsidiary Dreiring. In 1975, Henkel's first Fa-shower gel was introduced. Fa products were since then joined by new series of bar soaps, liquid soaps, shower gels, bubble baths, roll-on deodorants, stick deodorants and deosprays.[3] As of today, Fa is marketed in some 120 countries.
In 2008, the Federal Cartel Office imposed a fine totaling EUR 21.6 million on the Henkel group for price fixing, among other things, for Fa brand shower gel.[4]
The product family includes soap, shower gel and deodorant.[5] Fa is one of the European market leaders.[6] Products are also marketed under the Fa brand in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. In total, Fa is sold in 146 countries. Since Fa gets a new appearance every few years, the brand is considered a prime example for a product relaunch.[7]
