O'Keeffe's: Hardworking Skincare Born from a Daughter's Love

When you're working 12-hour shifts in all weathers, dealing with harsh chemicals, or constantly washing your hands throughout the day, skincare isn't a luxury – it's essential kit. That's where O'Keeffe's comes in. O'Keeffe's began with a daughter's love for her hardworking father. What started in a kitchen to help one rancher's dry, cracked hands has grown into a trusted brand, helping millions find relief from extreme dryness.

The Story Behind the O'Keeffe's Brand

The roots of O'Keeffe's Company go back more than 20 years to an arid region on the California-Oregon border known as the Klamath Basin. Bill O'Keeffe was a rancher and diagnosed diabetic who loved his rigorous, physical work. The tough lifestyle, however, took its toll on his hands and feet.

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.

Applying her skills as a pharmacist, Tara and her father spent years creating and testing various formulations mixed in her kitchen, until, many years later, she developed the basic formula for what has become O'Keeffe's Working Hands and, eventually, O'Keeffe's for Healthy Feet.

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, recognising its effectiveness.

Why O'Keeffe's Works

What sets O'Keeffe's apart from standard hand creams? The formulations are highly concentrated and specifically designed for people who actually use their hands for a living. Whether you're in law enforcement, emergency services, construction, or any other hands-on profession, O'Keeffe's understands that your skin takes a battering.

The key ingredient across the O'Keeffe's range is a high concentration of glycerin, which draws moisture into the skin and locks it in. Combined with ingredients like allantoin, which helps remove dead skin cells, the formulas penetrate deeply to provide genuine, lasting relief.

Best of all, O'Keeffe's products are non-greasy and odourless. You can apply them and get straight back to work without leaving residue on equipment, paperwork, or your steering wheel.

O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream - 58g Tube

Prefer a tube format? Same proven formula, different packaging. The tube design makes it easy to keep in your patrol bag, locker, or vehicle for quick application throughout the day.

O'Keeffe's Working Hands and Body Lotion - 315ml

This all-in-one moisturiser extends the O'Keeffe's formula to your entire body. With a lighter texture than the hand cream, it absorbs quickly and provides up to 48 hours of dry skin treatment. It's ideal for use after showering and perfect for full-body application, leaving your skin soft and moisturised without any greasy residue.

For Your Feet

O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet Foot Cream - 58ml Tube

When you're on your feet all day – whether you're on patrol, attending incidents, or covering miles on foot – your feet take serious punishment. O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet is specifically formulated to tackle the thicker, rougher skin on heels and soles. The cream instantly boosts moisture levels and creates a protective layer to prevent further moisture loss. For best results, apply after exfoliating to allow the moisturiser to penetrate effectively. Users often report seeing improvement in as little as two days.

For Your Lips

O'Keeffe's Lip Repair Cooling Lip Balm - 4.2g Stick

Working outdoors in harsh conditions? O'Keeffe's Lip Repair provides clinically proven relief with just one application, keeping lips moisturised for up to 24 hours.
