Established in 2025, in Illovo.
Each product is handcrafted by a medical doctor, combining scientific insight with a passion for skincare. His journey into soap-making began when he created bespoke soaps for his own wedding.
Today, Jupita Soaps reflects a dedication to gentle, sensitive skin care, paired with a distinctive artistic flair. What started as a personal project has grown into a small, considered range of cold-process bars — each one hand-poured, hand-cut, and cured with patience rather than shortcuts.
Dr. Samet Citlak
"Jupita Soaps is more than just a brand; it's a personal creation of a practicing general practitioner who believes in natural care. Blending a medical understanding of skin with a passion for traditional crafts, I personally craft every small batch using cold process methods, ensuring each bar is as wholesome as possible. My mission is to offer you the same care and quality I dedicate to my patients, built with Earth's finest ingredients." — Dr. Samet Citlak, Founder
Our craft, step by step.
Choosing Jupita Soaps means choosing pure, traditional craftsmanship — no harsh chemicals, no added preservatives, just oils saponified with lye and water.
1. Selecting the oils
Olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, castor oil and almond oil are measured out for every batch — nothing artificial added.
2. Cold-process saponification
The oils are saponified with lye and water using the traditional cold-process method, then hand-poured and swirled.
3. Curing and hand-cutting
Each batch cures before being hand-cut into bars — small natural variations in colour and shape are part of the charm.
