Farmasi

Farmasi's story starts in 1950, when pharmacist Dr. Cevdet Tuna began producing pharmaceutical and personal care products in Istanbul, Turkey. After six decades of building the manufacturing side, the family launched Farmasi as a global direct sales company in 2010. The unusual part of this story is the order of events: the brand launched internationally first, across Europe and beyond, and only opened its opportunity to the United States in 2018. The US business is based in the Miami area, and the company holds its annual Farmasinergy convention there.

Growth since then has been quick. In May 2026 Farmasi reported more than $600 million in global revenue for 2025, said it added more than 500,000 independent sellers that year, and projected $800 million for 2026. It opened eight European markets at once in early 2026, now sells in more than 60 countries and plans to launch in South Korea in 2027. Direct Selling News ranked it No. 11 on its 2026 Global 100 list, up from No. 27 the year before. The company is still family-run: CEO Sinan Tuna and President Emre Tuna are the founder's grandsons.

This milestone is deeply personal to me. My grandfather, Dr. Cevdet Tuna, built FARMASI on science, integrity, and care for people. Seventy-five years later, we are honoring his vision while expanding it worldwide.

Products. Farmasi has its own manufacturing and packaging facility in Istanbul and offers more than 2,000 products: Dr. C. Tuna skin care, Farmasi makeup, hair and body care, fragrance, oral care, a men's line and accessories. The company describes its products as paraben-free, non-GMO, dermatologically tested and free of phosphates, formaldehyde, phthalates and heavy metals, says they are not tested on animals, and says its manufacturing follows Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. Prices are a big part of the pitch: most items sit between $5 and $50.

Wellness. The Nutriplus line is the newest push. Meal replacement shakes, collagen, vitamins and recharge sticks launched through 2025 and 2026, and at Farmasinergy 2026 the company introduced FarmaFit, a fitness, nutrition and community program with its own app. That makes Farmasi a beauty company with a growing wellness arm, which is worth knowing before you pick a niche as a seller.

Car bonus and trips. Beauty Influencers who reach Silver Director and above are eligible for a car bonus, which depends on their volume and title at the time. Top ranks earn incentive trips, including visits to the Istanbul facility. When the US market opened in 2018, Farmasi also ran a Founders Club for its first 100 Influencers with early product access and a trip to Istanbul; that program is long closed, but it says something about how the company treats its leaders. The official US site is farmasius.com.

When you enroll as a Beauty Influencer, the starter kit includes Dr. C. Tuna's skin care guide, a welcome letter, catalogs and more. With sign-up you also get a discount on products and a personal Farmasi website for online orders. You can add the Welcome Product Pack, a bundle of products from the various lines Farmasi carries, so you can sample them yourself and share them with future clients. Enrollment has historically been inexpensive, in the $19 to $49 range depending on the pack chosen, but the price and contents change with promotions, so check the current enrollment page before you sign up.

First thing: no minimum orders or production are required to stay a Farmasi Beauty Influencer. Commission starts at 50% on personal sales, which the company structures as a discount off retail. From there, if you build a team, you earn a group bonus based on the volume you and your team sell in a given month. Group volume bonuses have started at 3% and climbed to 25% at the top of the plan.

On top of personal and group bonuses there are promotion bonuses when you reach a new rank, a leadership bonus for developing leaders in your team, and the car bonus and trips described above. Farmasi updates its plan from time to time, so treat these numbers as a guide and check the company's current compensation plan for exact rates and rank requirements.
