For over a quarter-century, O'Keeffe's has been on a mission to provide relief so you can keep going. Our story is one of dedication, innovation, and a deep understanding of what hard-working hands and feet truly need.
Our Beginnings
A Daughter's Love,
A Father's Need
O'Keeffe's was born out of necessity and compassion. More than 25 years ago, Tara O'Keeffe, a pharmacist, saw her father Bill struggling with dry, cracked hands. Bill, a rancher and diabetic, couldn't find any product that provided the relief he desperately needed.
Determined to help her father, Tara took matters into her own hands. She began experimenting in her kitchen. The result of her efforts would become what we now know as Working Hands.
The Birth of an Icon
From Kitchen Creation to Trusted Solution
Tara's homemade hand cream wasn't just effective – it was life-changing for her father. The formula she created in her kitchen provided the relief Bill had been searching for. But the story doesn't end there.
Word began to spread about this remarkable cream. People started asking for it, recognizing its effectiveness. What started as a solution to keep her father working, became a household name for many others struggling with dry, cracked skin.
