Farmasi Shampoo & Hair Care Products in Bangladesh

Farmasi is a Turkish cosmetics house, and what reaches Arogga from it is mostly hair care. Two shampoos, a conditioner, a hair mask and a styling wax make up the bulk of the shelf, with a shower gel, a body lotion and one eau de toilette alongside them.

It is a compact range, which makes it easy to read in one pass. Arogga’s Haircare shelf is where the comparable brands sit.

Farmasi Is a Cosmetics Brand from Istanbul

The name trips people up, and it is worth settling in one line. Farmasi is a trade name, spelled the way it is because the company began life in pharmaceuticals before it moved into cosmetics.

In several languages the same word simply means a chemist’s shop, which is why the word turns up attached to street addresses across Southeast Asia. Here it is a brand, and the products under it are shampoos, skincare, colour cosmetics and fragrance.

If you arrived at this page after typing the word and expected a shop sign rather than a bottle, that is the whole explanation.

Every Title Puts the Range Name Before the Job

Farmasi names a range first and the product second. Olive Oil Nourishing, Keratin Therapy, Naturelle and Shield Man are families, and the words after them say what the bottle does.

That matters when two things from the same family sit next to each other in the same size, which happens twice on this shelf. The family word tells you nothing about which bottle you are holding; the job word is the one to read.

The Olive Oil Pair: Same Bottle, Different Half of the Body

This is the one to be careful with. Both Olive Oil products come in a 360ml bottle, both carry the same range name, and one is for hair while the other is for skin:

• Farmasi Olive Oil Nourishing Shampoo with Protein Complex & Natural Olive Oil 360ml — hair, with a protein complex named in the title
• Farmasi Olive Oil Nourishing Shower Gel with Natural Olive Oil 360ml — body, and no protein claim in the title

Telling them apart on the shelf

The reliable difference is the word Shampoo against Shower Gel, sitting roughly a third of the way into each name. The protein complex is the second tell, since only the hair bottle names it.

Using a shower gel on hair will not harm anything, but it is formulated for skin and tends to leave hair squeaky and hard to comb. The reverse is the more common mistake in a wet bathroom.

Keratin Therapy Is Built as Two Steps

The Keratin Therapy range on this shelf is a wash and a treatment, and they are meant to be used in sequence rather than chosen between.

The wash

Farmasi Keratin Therapy Damage Repairing Shampoo 360ml comes in the same 360ml bottle as the olive oil shampoo. It is aimed at hair that has been coloured, heat-styled or chemically treated rather than at everyday washing.

The treatment

Farmasi Keratin Therapy Conditioning Repairing Hair Mask 200ml is the 200ml half of the pair. A mask is left on for several minutes before rinsing, which is what separates it from an ordinary conditioner you rinse straight away.

The smaller tub is not an oversight. A mask is used once or twice a week against a shampoo used most days, so the two run out at roughly the same rate. Arogga’s Hair Masks and Treatments shelf holds the alternatives.

Naturelle Crosses from Hair to Skin

Naturelle is the only range here that appears on both sides of the shelf, and the pair share nothing except the family name.

The conditioner

Farmasi Naturelle Sea Therapy Hair Conditioner 200ml adds a second sub-name, Sea Therapy, on top of the family one. It is a rinse-out conditioner in the same 200ml size as the keratin mask, and the difference between them is contact time rather than thickness.

The body lotion

Farmasi Naturelle Hand & Body Lotion 200ml is the skin half. Its title names both hands and body, which in practice means a lotion light enough to absorb before you touch anything. The wider aisle is Arogga’s Bath & Body collection.

Shield Man Is the Men’s Side of the Range

One listing here carries the Shield Man name: Farmasi Shield Man Amino Acid Complex Styling Matte Hair Wax 110ml, a 110ml tub.

Why matte rather than gel

Matte is the operative word. A matte wax gives hold without shine, which reads as styled rather than greasy, and it behaves very differently from a gel in humidity. It is also the only product on this shelf that stays in hair rather than being washed out of it.

Working it through dry hair

A wax of this kind goes into hair that is dry or very nearly dry. Warm a small amount between the palms first, then work it from the back forward, because starting at the front puts most of the product on the fringe and leaves none for the crown.

Putting a Farmasi Hair Routine in Order

Most of this shelf is for hair, and the hair bottles are not alternatives to one another. Run in the order the formats imply:

Shampoo first, choosing between the olive oil and the keratin bottle by how stressed the hair is. Then one of the two treatments — the mask on the days you have five minutes, the Sea Therapy conditioner on the days you do not. The wax goes on last, once hair has dried.

Stacking the mask and the conditioner in the same wash does nothing useful. They sit in the same step and the heavier of the two simply wins.

Which of These Rinse Off and Which Stay On

Splitting a small shelf this way is more useful than splitting it by range, because contact time is what decides how a formula behaves:

• Rinsed within a minute — the two shampoos and the shower gel
• Left on, then rinsed — the hair mask and the conditioner, which is where most of the repair claim on a hair range lives
• Stays on — the hand and body lotion, the styling wax and the eau de toilette

An ingredient in the first group has seconds to do anything. The same ingredient in the third group has all day, which is why a lotion and a shower gel built on the same oil are not comparable products.

The One Fragrance on the Shelf

Farmasi Signora Pearl EDT for Women 50ml is the only perfume here, and the EDT in its name is the part worth noticing.

An eau de toilette carries a higher share of perfume oil than a body mist and a lower share than an eau de parfum, so it sits in the middle of the strength scale. At 50ml it is a dressing-table bottle rather than a handbag one.

What Changes the Price

Across a shelf this size the figure moves with:

• Bottle size — 360ml, 200ml, 110ml and 50ml are all represented, and the range covers a sevenfold spread
• Category — a fragrance and a shampoo are priced on completely different logic even at the same volume
• Import batch — everything here ships from Turkey, and consignments land at different costs

The sizes are the thing to hold on to. Two bottles that look alike on a phone screen can be 360ml and 200ml, and the per-wash figure is nothing like the shelf figure. Each listing states its own volume, which is the number to compare on.

About Farmasi

Farmasi is a Turkish cosmetics and personal care company headquartered in Istanbul and part of the Tuna Group. It was founded in 1950 as a pharmaceutical business by Dr. C. Tuna, moved into cosmetics manufacturing decades later, and still carries his name on one of its skincare ranges.

The company makes colour cosmetics, skincare, hair care, body care, fragrance and wellness supplements, most of it produced at its own plant near Istanbul. Its ranges are organised as named families — Dr. C. Tuna, Naturelle, Keratin Therapy, Olive Oil Nourishing, Shield Man — rather than by skin or hair type.

Farmasi sells principally through a direct-selling network of independent representatives, operating across more than a hundred markets. That model explains why the company is far better known among its own representatives than from a shop shelf, and why its packs arrive in Bangladesh through importers and online retail.

Because the shelf is small, the quickest way through it is to decide hair or body first and then pick the range name. Everything above states its volume in the title.

For similar products from other makers, Arogga’s Shampoos and Conditioner shelves line the alternatives up by size and format.

Check the full title at checkout rather than the first two words. On this range the first two words are the family name, and the family name is shared.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What kind of brand is Farmasi?

A Turkish cosmetics and personal care company based in Istanbul. The name comes from its origins in pharmaceuticals, and in some languages the same word means a chemist’s shop, which is where the confusion starts.

2. Which Farmasi shampoo suits damaged hair?

The Keratin Therapy one names damage repair in its title and is aimed at hair that has been coloured or heat-styled. The Olive Oil shampoo is the everyday-washing option of the two.

3. Is the hair mask the same thing as a conditioner?

No. A mask is left on for several minutes before rinsing; a conditioner is worked through and rinsed out. That difference in contact time is the point of buying both.

4. Why are the shampoo and the shower gel the same size?

They belong to one range and share a bottle. Read the word that follows Nourishing — Shampoo or Shower Gel — because nothing earlier in the two names differs.

5. How strong is the Signora Pearl fragrance?

It is an eau de toilette, which sits between a body mist and an eau de parfum on perfume oil content. Expect it to last a few hours rather than all day.

6. Farmasi কী ধরনের brand?

এটা তুরস্কের একটা cosmetics brand — ওষুধের দোকান নয়। নামটা শুনতে ফার্মেসির মতো লাগে কারণ কোম্পানিটা শুরু হয়েছিল ওষুধ দিয়ে, পরে cosmetics-এ চলে আসে। এখানে মূলত hair care-ই বেশি।
