The roots of Okeeffes go back more than 20 years,  Bill O'Keeffe was a diabetic farmer who loved his hard physical work . However, the difficult lifestyle took its toll on his hands and feet. Seeing the discomfort caused by his chronically dry skin, his daughter, Tara, decided to find a solution. Applying her skills as a pharmacist, Tara and her father spent years creating and testing until many years later, she developed a product that worked better than any other. This was the base formula that gave rise to O’Keeffe’s Working Hands and, several years later, O’Keeffe’s for Healthy Feet.
