Yes, we offer discounts for healthcare professionals through Blue Light Card and Health Service Discounts.

Shipping

Where do you ship to?

For further information on shipping please see our shipping policy.

Do you ship to the US & Canada?

We currently do not ship to the US & Canada, however our retail partner Space NK does — you can view our collection on their website.

When will my order arrive?

Your order should arrive within 3–5 working days from the date you placed your order in the UK. For international timings, please see our shipping policy.

How do I track my order?

Tracking information is emailed to you via Royal Mail. Single or duo tubes of hand cream are not eligible for tracked delivery. If you've been waiting 10+ working days, please get in touch with our customer service team.

Product information

Do you offer sample sachets?

We don't currently offer samples, but if you'd like to try Nursem we offer a money-back guarantee so you can do so risk-free.

Where on my body can I use your products?

Nursem products can be used externally on all areas of the body, but for best results use on targeted dry and irritable spots. All products comply with applicable cosmetic regulations in the UK and Europe.

Are your products suitable for eczema-prone skin?

All Nursem products have been independently safety tested and approved as having excellent skin compatibility for sensitive skin. If you suffer from allergies or skin conditions, please consult your GP or dermatologist, as Nursem is not a medicine.

Are your products made in the UK?

Yes — we are proud to manufacture Nursem in the UK, with our products made by an MHRA approved partner.

Are your products vegan?

Our Caring Skin Fix and Caring Hand Wash are vegan. The Caring Hand Cream contains Manuka Honey NPA+15.

Is your packaging recyclable?

Our bottles, tubes and cardboard cartons are fully recyclable. Simply rinse out tubes and bottles and place with your other household plastic recycling.

Are your products tested on animals?

No. Nursem is proud to be Leaping Bunny approved — the internationally recognised gold standard for cruelty-free products.

Do I need to patch test?

If you have an acute skin condition, hypersensitive skin or concerns about individual ingredients, we recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before first use. Test inside the forearm or behind the ear, not on already-irritated skin.

What's the difference between the Caring Hand Cream and the Caring Skin Fix?

The Caring Hand Cream is for regular application throughout the day to prevent ongoing dryness. The Caring Skin Fix repairs hands or other areas in a particularly dry, cracked and sore state — it's thicker and richer, and ideal for overnight application.

I'm pregnant, is it safe to use Nursem products?

Nursem products are classified as cosmetics. If you have concerns we advise seeking the advice of a healthcare professional, such as your GP or midwife, before use. If you do use Nursem while pregnant, always patch test 24 hours before application.

The Nursem Promise

How do I nominate a nursing team for the Nursem Promise?

We distribute the Nursem Promise mainly through partnerships with NHS trusts around the UK, ensuring it reaches staff with the most acute need. We also run campaigns letting customers decide where the Promise is delivered. Visit our Nursem Promise page to find out more and receive updates.

Where can I find out more about the Nursem Promise?

To learn more, please visit our Nursem Promise page.

I'm a key worker but not a registered healthcare professional, am I eligible?

As a small business we must currently limit our send-outs to registered healthcare workers. Helping nurses and midwives was the key motivation behind our brand, and it's important we stay true to that mission.

Where have you already helped through the Nursem Promise?

Please see our map to find out where we've sent the Nursem Promise already.

Subscriptions

How does subscribing to a product work?

You'll receive regular deliveries on the schedule you choose — monthly, every two months, or another frequency. It's automatically charged to your payment method, and you can adjust or skip deliveries. Subscribing also gives you 10% off, free shipping and early access to new products.

Can I make changes to my subscription?

Yes — log into your Customer Account to adjust delivery frequency, swap products, add items or skip a shipment at any time.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Cancel any time via your Customer Account under 'Manage my Subscriptions'. Cancellations require at least 2 business days' notice before your next delivery. As subscription orders are discounted, returning subscription items means the discount no longer applies.

How do I update my payment details or address?

Log into your Customer Account, go to your subscription settings, and make changes before your next scheduled delivery.

Discounts

Do you offer a student discount?

Yes — verify your student status through our Student Discount page to access your discount.

Do you offer a healthcare worker discount?

Yes. As a brand founded by a nurse, we're proud to support healthcare heroes. Verify your details on our Healthcare Discount page.

How can key workers get a discount?

Check your eligibility and claim your offer through our Key Worker Discount page.

Are there discounts for seniors?

Yes — visit our Senior Discount page to learn more and apply.

How do I verify my eligibility for a discount?

Each discount page includes a simple verification through GoCertify. Once verified, you'll receive a code to use at checkout.
