O'Keeffe's Company is a specialized manufacturer of concentrated moisturizers designed to provide "guaranteed relief" for extremely dry and cracked skin. Founded over 25 years ago, the brand has grown from a family-run operation into a global leader in hardworking skincare, particularly known for its flagship product, Working Hands. Company History and Ownership Founding: The company was founded by Tara O'Keeffe, a pharmacist, who spent over two years developing the original formula in her kitchen to help her father, Bill O'Keeffe. Bill was a rancher and diabetic whose hands and feet frequently cracked and split from his rigorous physical work. Expansion: "Working Hands" first went on sale to the American public in 2000 and expanded into the UK market in 2012. Acquisition: In 2009, O'Keeffe's was acquired by The Gorilla Glue Company, which is also a family-owned and operated business. Headquarters: The company is currently headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, sharing operations with its parent company. Core Product Philosophy O'Keeffe's products are engineered to be "no-frills" but highly effective, typically being unscented and non-greasy. Mechanism of Action: The formulas work by immediately increasing moisture content in the skin and creating a protective barrier that traps moisture and shields against further dryness. Satisfaction Guarantee: The brand offers a 100% money-back guarantee if customers are not completely satisfied with the results. Clinical Testing: Products are "real-world tested" to ensure they perform under the toughest circumstances. Major Product Lines Originally starting with just hand cream, the brand now offers a full body skincare range: Working Hands: Concentrated cream designed to heal and repair extremely dry, cracked hands. Healthy Feet: Specially formulated to provide relief and intense moisturization for cracked feet. Lip Repair: Offers instant, long-lasting relief for dry lips; variants include SPF 35 protection and overnight treatments.
