O'Keeffe's Hardworking Skincare
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. Applying her skills as a pharmacist, his daughter Tara, seeing the pain caused by his chronically dry skin, was driven to find a product that relieved her father’s severely dry, cracked skin. Many years later, she developed the basic formula for what has become O'Keeffe's Working Hands. O'Keeffe's has a loyal following of not just people who work outdoors, but also nurses, teachers, mechanics, diabetics, and people with skin conditions such as Eczema.
