Manuka honey is a natural powerhouse. It helps your skin hold onto moisture (which hands seriously need), so it feels calmer, softer, and less likely to dry out after washing.

Natural ingredients to soothe, repair & protect your hands
All Nursem products use high-quality ingredients, tested by medical experts and approved by at least 90% of our user panel.
White willow extract comes from the bark of a white willow tree and has been proven to help soothe dry, cracked and painful skin to alleviate pain and irritation.
Allantoin comes from the root of the comfrey plant and helps soften rough, dry patches of skin and soothe skin inflammation. (Basically, it helps hands feel like hands again.)
Vitamin B5 is a nutrient found naturally in lots of foods. Pro-Vitamin B5 is the same thing, but adapted to protect your skin barrier, so your hands stay softer and more comfortable between washes.
Glycerin is one of the unsung heroes of keeping hands soft. It draws hydration to the surface of your hands and helps keep it there, so they feel soft and protected long after you’ve applied the cream.
We use natural oils from grapes, pomegranates and passionfruit that have been proven to sit on skin barrier, make your hands smoother and keep them hydrated throughout the day.
Who said skincare had to smell like a pharmacy? We’ve added a few drops of real citrus oils so your hands are moisturised and smell good too. (Go unscented if you have very sensitive skin.)
“My hands got so bad I had to time off work, but no creams helped. So we spent 7 years making one that does.”
Hi! I’m Antonia. When I worked in paediatric intensive care, my hands went through it. After the constant washing, wearing gloves and cold hospital air, my skin got so dry, cracked and sore I had to take time off work.
That’s why my husband Jonny and I spent seven years working with nurses and scientists to create a hand cream that does more than just moisturise.
That’s why every ingredient in Nursem is all-natural and there to help soothe, repair and protect your skin.
We couldn’t be prouder of the fact that 1M+ customers love our products, recommend them to our friends and help us send Nursem packages to nurses, carers and midwives around the country.
You've helped 666,145 nurses protect and restore their hands
For every Nursem product you buy, you’ll also be giving a month’s worth of free hand cream to a nurse or midwife to protect their hard-working hands.
