O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream

O’Keeffe’s is a specialized skincare brand renowned for its targeted treatment of extremely dry and cracked skin. The brand was founded by Tara O'Keeffe, a pharmacist who developed the original Working Hands cream to help her father, a rancher who suffered from severely dry hands due to his work and the harsh weather conditions.

The product range is widely recognized for its high-concentration formulas that provide deep hydration and skin barrier protection. Today, the brand has expanded from its original hand cream to include foot creams, lip balms, and body lotions, maintaining a reputation for efficacy among manual laborers and individuals with chronic dry skin issues.

While the brand originated as a small family operation, it was acquired by the Gorilla Glue Company in 2010. Under this ownership, the brand has achieved global distribution while maintaining its headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio. Manufacturing primarily takes place in the United States to ensure quality control, though some regional distribution and local filling may occur in international markets.
