An Insight Into Nursem Skincare with Founder Jonny Philp

We recently caught up with the founder of Nursem Skincare, Jonny Philp, to learn about the story behind starting the brand and how they support nurses all around the UK.

Expert Tip for Nursem

"Hands often need more than an occasional layer of moisturiser, especially when frequent washing is part of your day. Keep an everyday hand cream within easy reach and apply it regularly, then introduce a richer formula when areas become particularly dry or cracked. A consistent cleanse, protect and repair routine can make caring for hard-working hands feel much more manageable."

Nursem: The Skincare Brand Born On A Nursing Ward

When Antonia, a paediatric intensive care nurse, kept returning home with sore, cracked and bleeding hands from constant hand washing at work, she began to wonder if she could come up with a solution. Together with her husband Jonny, the pair began working on an idea that could not only help Antonia, but other nurses and midwifes across the UK experiencing the same issue, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nursem skincare?

Nursem is a British skincare brand born from co-founder Antonia's experience as a paediatric intensive care nurse. The range was created to support hands affected by frequent washing, with products designed around the needs of dry, sore and sensitive skin.

Why is Nursem particularly suited to dry hands?

Nursem focuses on replenishing moisture and caring for skin exposed to repeated washing and everyday stresses. Its hand care range includes options for daily moisturising as well as more intensive care for persistent dryness.

What is the difference between Nursem Caring Hand Cream and Caring Skin Fix?

Caring Hand Cream is an everyday moisturiser designed to absorb quickly without leaving hands feeling greasy. Caring Skin Fix offers richer, more intensive care for persistently dry and cracked areas, making it useful when skin needs additional nourishment.

Can I use Nursem if I wash my hands frequently?

Yes, frequent hand washing was one of the reasons Nursem was created. Its cleanse, protect and repair approach makes the range particularly relevant for nurses, healthcare professionals and anyone whose routine involves washing their hands regularly.

Is Nursem suitable for sensitive skin?

Nursem offers products developed with dry and sensitive skin in mind, including fragrance-free options. Always check the individual product information and ingredients to make sure a formula is appropriate for your skin.

Can Nursem be used on eczema-prone skin?

Selected Nursem products are suitable for eczema-prone skin and can help provide moisturising care for dryness, tightness and discomfort. Cosmetic skincare should support the skin rather than be considered a treatment for eczema itself.

When should I use Nursem Caring Skin Fix?

Caring Skin Fix can be used when hands or other areas feel particularly dry, cracked or in need of intensive care. It can also be incorporated into an evening routine to give hard-working skin a richer layer of moisture.

What is the Nursem Promise?

The Nursem Promise is the brand's ongoing commitment to nurses and midwives. For every Nursem product purchased, the brand provides a month's worth of free hand cream to a nurse or midwife.
