How to work with Farmasi in Nigeria
Where the money comes from, what you do each week, and which expectations are realistic.
Farmasi is a direct sales company: it manufactures its own cosmetics in Turkey and sells them through people rather than shops. You enroll as an entrepreneur, buy at a discount, and earn in two ways: from what you sell and from what the team you build sells. That much anyone will tell you. The detail is where it gets interesting.
Where commissions come from
Your purchase discount
You buy below retail. Resell it and the difference is yours; use it yourself and it is straight savings. This is the part that works from day one.
Sales from your online store
Every entrepreneur gets a store under their own name. Orders placed there earn you commission without you handling stock or shipping.
Personal volume bonus
A tiered percentage based on the volume you move in a month. It starts at zero and climbs by bracket: more volume, higher percentage.
Group and leadership bonuses
When you sponsor others and they sell, you earn the difference between your percentage and theirs. Past certain ranks you add multi-generation bonuses, cash rank bonuses and, at the top ranks, a car allowance.
The part that is not in the brochure
Worth saying plainly: most people who join any direct sales company earn little or nothing. Farmasi's own 2025 income disclosure states that 46.43% of participants earned no commission that year. That does not make it a scam; it means half the people enroll, do nothing and drop out. Join expecting automatic income and you will be disappointed. Join understanding it is a small business you have to work, and it looks different.
What it really costs to land product in Nigeria
The ECOWAS Common External Tariff applies. Nigeria's effective import burden is heavy: the US government's own trade guide notes that tariff, levy, excise and VAT combined exceed 50% on more than 80 tariff lines. One piece of good news is that the 4% FOB import charge was suspended by Nigeria Customs after industry pushback.
This is the part that decides whether the whole thing works for you. Naira-card international limits are set by each bank, not by one CBN rule, and they have moved enormously: GTBank's cap went from USD 1,000 a quarter in July 2025 to USD 20,000 a quarter by August 2026, while other banks sit far lower. Check your own bank's current limit before you enroll, and treat a domiciliary or USD card as the reliable route.
Going official as a seller in Nigeria
Under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025, in force since January 2026, a small company with turnover up to NGN 50 million and fixed assets up to NGN 250 million pays no companies income tax — which makes formalising early unusually painless here.
What the week actually looks like
- ◆Use the products yourself. You cannot sell what you do not know.
- ◆Show what you use on social media, without the sales-rep script: results, routines, before and after.
- ◆Answer everyone who asks. Most sales come out of private conversations, not posts.
- ◆Batch your orders to make use of promotions and volume tiers.
- ◆Train the people who join your team. Your group commission depends on them selling, not on how many you sign.
How much time it takes
As a side income, five or six focused hours a week will hold it up. As a main activity it is a full-time business like any other, except there is no salary: you earn what you move. The first quarter is usually learning and small numbers, and that is exactly where almost everyone quits.
