I recently got my hands on the Nursem Ultra Caring Body Balm, and as a body care obsessive, I have to say it ticks all the boxes for me. Here is everything you need to know.

What is Nursem Ultra Caring Body Balm?

This is a rich body balm created for use all over the body, and designed to boost filaggrin. It is suitable for even the most sensitive skin, including eczema-prone.

It is formulated with colloidal oatmeal, mondo grass and niacinamide and works to rejuvenate the skin and help to restore the skin’s natural barrier:

Key Ingredients

Mondo Grass – helps restore the skin barrier and boost the skin’s natural filaggrin

Colloidal Oatmeal – provides a soothing and anti-inflammatory action, and helps calm irritation and redness

My Review

I love a good rich body product and this one suits me down to the ground!

Texture & Performance: What I Loved

The first thing I noticed about the Nursem Ultra Caring Body Balm is the rich and balmy texture. In the pot it has a lovely firmness, which makes it feel really substantial and luxurious. As soon as you scoop some out and begin to massage it into the skin, it melts in beautifully and spreads with ease, without feeling sticky or heavy.

Once applied, it leaves the skin feeling super soft and deeply comforted. I love how it provides long-lasting moisturisation that you can still feel hours later, even into the next day. It really does create that cushion of hydration that dry, sensitive skin craves.

Another thing I adore is how well this balm suits sensitive and eczema-prone skin. The unfragranced formula means there’s no irritation, and instead it delivers a calming and soothing effect that makes the skin feel much more balanced and comfortable.

Because I fake tan regularly, my skin can often become extra dry and prone to flakiness. A formula like this, that is rich, effective, and melts effortlessly into the skin, is exactly what I need to keep my skin smooth and hydrated so my tan looks even and lasts longer. For me, this balm will be a go-to for keeping dryness at bay while still feeling like a treat to use.

How I Use It in My Routine

I’ve been reaching for the Nursem Ultra Caring Body Balm at the moments when my skin needs the most comfort. For me, that’s usually straight after a shower, when skin can feel a little tight. Because the texture is rich yet melts into the skin so easily, it’s ideal for locking in moisture while my skin is still slightly damp.

I like to massage it generously over my arms and legs, focusing on any areas that tend to get extra dry like my elbows, knees, and shins. I also love using it before bed, almost like an overnight treatment. By the morning, my skin always feels soft, calm, and nourished.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is this balm safe for eczema flare-ups?

The product information states it is best used between flare ups, not during acute weeping / broken skin. Always patch test, and if your eczema is severe, consult a dermatologist.

Does it contain fragrance?

No, it’s unfragranced. That’s great for sensitive noses and skin.

Is it vegan & cruelty-free?

Yes, the product is labelled vegan.

How often should I use it?

Daily maintenance is recommended. After showering, or when skin tends to dry out. For very dry patches, apply two-times a day or layer overnight.

What makes this balm “filaggrin boosting”?

The formula includes ingredients like niacinamide and Mondo Grass root extract which are claimed to help stimulate natural filaggrin production. This helps support skin barrier strength.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Nursem Ultra Caring Body Balm is a standout product in the rich balm / intensive moisturiser space. The blend of clinical actives (niacinamide, colloidal oat, allantoin etc.), combined with very nourishing butters, gives a luxurious feel and powerful hydration.

For me, someone who fake tans and has dry skin, this balm ticks almost all the boxes. If you want something that feels like skincare and pampering, and you don’t mind a richer texture, this is definitely worth the investment.
