Frequently Asked Questions
How does the hypoallergenic formula protect people with sensitive skin?
It avoids common irritants like fragrance and heavy dyes, and is tested to reduce the risk of allergic reactions, making it safer for daily use on fragile or reactive skin.
What does it mean that this cream is safe for people with diabetes?
Diabetic skin tends to be drier, thinner, and slower to heal, and many standard lotions contain ingredients that can irritate it. This cream is specifically formulated to be gentle and effective on diabetic hands without harsh additives.
How does the non-greasy formula keep hands safe during daily tasks?
Because it absorbs without leaving a slick residue, hands maintain grip and tactile sensitivity, reducing the risk of dropping tools, slipping on surfaces, or having reduced control during precision work.
How does the moisture-locking barrier help prevent further skin damage?
By sealing hydration into the skin, the barrier helps protect small cracks from exposure to irritants, detergents, and germs, which lowers the risk of painful splits or infection in damaged skin.
Why is the unscented formula safer for households with kids or pets?
Unscented products reduce airborne irritants and avoid artificial fragrance exposure, which is better for children, pets, and anyone with respiratory sensitivities or fragrance allergies.
Is this hand cream safe for someone with diabetes to use daily?
Yes. It is one of the few hand creams specifically formulated and tested to be safe for diabetic skin, and the unscented, hypoallergenic formula supports daily use without irritation.
As a healthcare worker, is this safe to apply between hand washings?
Yes. The non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and will not interfere with gloves, and the concentrated glycerin base helps restore moisture lost from frequent sanitizing and washing.
Is it safe to use this on cracked, bleeding hands?
The gentle, hypoallergenic formula is designed for severely cracked skin. For deep or infected wounds, consult a healthcare professional, but the cream is generally safe to apply around minor cracks to support healing.
Can my child safely use this if they have dry hands?
Yes. The hypoallergenic, unscented formula is appropriate for older children, though adult supervision is recommended for very young kids to avoid ingestion.
Is this safe for someone undergoing chemotherapy or with medically fragile skin?
The gentle, fragrance-free formula is well tolerated by sensitive skin, but anyone undergoing treatment should confirm with their medical team before introducing any new skincare product.
How is this safer than heavily fragranced designer hand creams?
Designer creams often contain synthetic fragrance, dyes, and alcohol-based drying agents that can worsen cracks and trigger reactions. This cream avoids those ingredients, reducing the risk of irritation and contact dermatitis.
How does this compare to using petroleum jelly for cracked hands?
Petroleum jelly is occlusive but does not add moisture. This cream combines glycerin to draw water into the skin with a barrier to lock it in, which is more effective for actively repairing cracks than simply sealing them.
Is this safer than antibiotic ointments for cracked hands?
Antibiotic ointments are intended for infection, not daily moisture. This cream focuses on repairing the skin barrier to prevent cracks from worsening, reducing the need for antibiotic treatments in the first place.
What if the cream causes a reaction on my sensitive skin?
While the formula is hypoallergenic, individual reactions are possible. Discontinue use if irritation occurs, and the 100% money-back guarantee allows you to request a refund from the manufacturer.
Is it safe to use this on children or pets if they accidentally touch it?
Yes. The unscented, non-toxic formula is safe for incidental skin contact, though it is intended for external use only and should be kept out of reach of very young children and pets to avoid ingestion.
What if I have a wound on my hand and I'm worried about infection?
The moisture-locking barrier helps protect minor cracks from external irritants, but it is not a substitute for medical care. Clean any open wound properly and consult a healthcare professional if signs of infection appear.
How do I use O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream for the best results?
Start with clean, dry hands. Scoop a small amount from the jar and massage it into cracked areas, knuckles, cuticles, and fingertips. Apply sparingly throughout the day and more generously at bedtime. A little goes a long way because the formula is highly concentrated.
How often should I apply the hand cream each day?
For severely cracked hands, apply three to four times daily for the first week, then reduce to twice daily as your skin improves. Always reapply after washing hands or spending time in cold, dry conditions.
Can I use this cream on other dry areas like feet or elbows?
Yes. The concentrated glycerin-based formula works well on feet, elbows, knees, and other rough patches. Many users keep one jar dedicated to hands and a second for other problem areas.
Is this cream compatible with latex or nitrile gloves?
Yes. The non-greasy formula absorbs fully into the skin and will not damage or degrade latex or nitrile gloves, making it safe for healthcare workers, cleaners, and tradespeople who wear gloves regularly.
Will this cream interfere with my hand sanitizer or sanitizing routine?
No. The cream absorbs fully and leaves no film that would block sanitizer effectiveness. For best results, apply the cream after sanitizing rather than immediately before.
What is included in the box when I order this product?
You will receive two 3.4 oz jars of O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream. No additional accessories are required to use the product. You may want to keep a small spatula or clean hands for hygienic jar use.
Is this product safe for people with skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis?
The hypoallergenic, fragrance-free formula is well tolerated by many people with eczema or psoriasis, but it is not a medical treatment. Always consult your dermatologist before introducing a new product to a flare-up area.
What is the shelf life, and how should I store the jars?
Unopened jars have a long shelf life, and opened jars typically remain effective for 12 months or more. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the lid tightly closed to preserve the formula.
What is the difference between a hand cream and a hand lotion?
Hand lotions are typically lighter, water-based products designed for everyday moisture. Hand creams are thicker, more concentrated formulas designed to repair and protect severely dry or cracked skin. O'Keeffe's Working Hands is a true hand cream, built for repair rather than simple hydration.
