About
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.
Founding Story
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. 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.

12 Best Over-the-Counter Moisturizers, Creams, Serums & Balms for Eczema Relief
The article was a round-up of the best over-the-counter moisturizers, creams, balms and serums for eczema relief, specifically targeted toward midlife women (ages 35 - 65) with varying stages of eczema. Each product was tested by staff members aged 35 - 65, experiencing mild to moderate forms of eczema in different areas of the body, with two staffers testing the more heavy duty balms/ointments on active flares. Each product was tested for a minimum of two weeks (or according to instructions). As the senior health editor who recently developed eczema on my left elbow, I personally tested O'Keeffe's Skin Repair Eczema Relief, Gloves In A Bottle Shielding Lotion, Dr. Dan’s Hydrocortisone Hand and Body Lotion and First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. While the products are listed by number, the numbers do not signify ranking; in fact, each product received its own badge for what it did best. O’Keeffe’s Skin Repair Eczema Relief was crowned "Best Lightweight Daily Moisturizer for Eczema" and Gloves In A Bottle Shielding Lotion was crowned "Best for Irritant Protection & Eczema Prevention."
