O'Keeffe's

O’Keeffe’s is a specialist skincare brand focused on targeted products for extremely dry, cracked or irritated skin. The range includes hand creams, foot balms and intensive barrier-repair formulas designed for people who require fast-acting hydration, long-lasting protection and relief from persistent skin dryness. O’Keeffe’s products are practical, no-fragrance, hard-working solutions suited for workers, athletes and anyone experiencing tough, stressed skin.

What is O’Keeffe’s?

O’Keeffe’s is an American-developed brand originally created to support extremely dry hands and feet in challenging working environments. The formulas concentrate on barrier repair, moisture retention and deep hydration without heavy fragrance or unnecessary additives. The brand has become widely recognised for its iconic “Working Hands” and “Healthy Feet” products, which are often recommended for severe dryness, cracking and rough patches.

This makes the collection particularly relevant for customers exploring foot care, skin soothing products and everyday dryness routines.

Benefits and Features of the O’Keeffe’s Range

Intensive formulas designed for severe dryness and cracked skin.
Creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture throughout the day.
Non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly and allows immediate use of hands.
Suitable for people in manual work, sports, frequent handwashing or cold climates.
Fragrance-free and minimal-ingredient approach to support sensitive skin.
Proven improvement in hydration when used consistently.

Why O’Keeffe’s is Important for Dry, Cracked Skin

Persistent dryness often requires barrier-focused skincare rather than standard moisturisers. O’Keeffe’s formulas use a high-glycerin approach to draw water into the skin while forming a protective surface layer that prevents moisture loss. This combination helps repair rough, flaky or uncomfortable areas faster than typical lotions.

Products in the O’Keeffe’s range pair well with restorative options in skin soothing products, or with specialist treatments for feet available in the hard skin removal and corns & callouses collections.

How to Use O’Keeffe’s Products

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin—especially after washing hands or bathing.
For feet, apply at night to allow the product to penetrate during rest.
Use daily for best results; consistent application improves barrier strength and moisture levels.
Pair with protective socks or gloves if the skin is severely cracked.
Suitable for use on elbows, knees and other rough patches.

Research, Guidance & Practical Insight

Experts highlight that chronic dryness often results from a weakened skin barrier. Ingredients like glycerin and occlusive agents—found in O’Keeffe’s products—help attract moisture and prevent evaporation, making them suitable for environments with cold weather, frequent washing or abrasive surfaces.

Customers who use O’Keeffe’s often enhance results by combining it with exfoliating or smoothing routines drawn from the hard skin removal category or by maintaining consistent care alongside foot care essentials.
