O'Keeffe's 3-Step Process for healing dry, damaged skin
O'Keeffe's products create the perfect microenvironment for damaged, split, and cracked skin to repair itself and regain its integrity. We utilize three chemical properties in combination to stimulate the skin to initiate the healing process.
First, O'Keeffe's products hydrate the skin with both water and glycerin. Glycerin is a humectant which draws moisture to itself at a molecular level causing hydration of the skin. Hydration is the process of replacing lost cellular water. This is vital because only hydrated cells are capable of repairing themselves.
Secondly, our products trap that moisture at the cellular level with two occlusive agents, stearic acid and paraffin. These highly effective ingredients prevent evaporation of the hydrating compounds and water.
Thirdly, O'Keeffe's products alter the pH in the dermis layer of the skin causing the chemoreceptors to sense this change. These receptors react by activating the body's own powerful repair cycle.
| 10/21/08: "Hi I saw your product in a local store and decided to give it a try and am I glad I did. I have for many years had to deal with cracking and splitting hands especially now in the fall weather. I used your product and in just over 1 week all of the problems I have had to suffer with for years have just gone away. I have tried a lot of other products that say they relieve cracked skin and they are all worthless. I cannot say enough good things about O'keeffe's so I will just say thank you and I wish I would have had this stuff over the last 20 years." D.O. Zeeland, MI |
