I actually really like this cream. I like the ingredients, the packaging and especially the scent. The scent is gorgeous fruity floral scent. I got this as a GWP. I have really dry eczema prone hands and I didn't find this cream moisturizing enough for my hands. I definitely think it's a real treat as a body cream since the consistency is nice and thick but absorbs and the fragrance is gorgeous. But I do find it rather pricey for me to use as a body cream as I ended up going through it rather quickly. So the next GWP tube went to my and I needed a gift for my grandma so I gifted it to her and she really liked it for her hands. As a hand cream it would probably suit you if don't have really dry hands like me and it does come a really big tube, also makes a really nice gift to someone who loves fruity, floral scents and natural skincare.

Tips: If you use it as a body cream you will go through it significantly faster than if you used it as a hand cream so to prolong the use of the tube but still enjoy the pampering you can use an unscented or lightly scented or at least a non-clashing scented body lotion, cream or oil all over and just put a little Joyful Body Cream on some parts that need a little bit more moisture or pampering or anywhere that a bit heavier moisture would go nicely like legs or arms. That way you get some pampering and you get to experience the fragrance but you don't use up the tube so quickly since it's pricey.
I was so excited to try this out when it came out because I have found other Antipodes products awesome and the packaging is so pretty! I forked out over $40 for it and was really disappointed as it did a pretty poor job of moisturising. For the price I was expecting a better product. Personally, the fragrance is a bit sweet for me too.
This hand cream is a gorgeous treat. I got given it as a gift but it was on my wishlist for a long time, I just couldn't justify spending $40 on it. I know it says that it is a body cream too but I wouldn't recommend using it as that as you will go through the tube very quickly, I just use it as a hand cream. Whenever I apply it I literally cannot stop smelling my hands, it is a mouth watering berry fragrance that has you dreaming of tropical holidays. I really like the packaging, I hate moisturisers/hand creams with flip top lids that are hard to grasp once you have product on your hands. This tube is easy to use and the cap just screws on and off.
The only downside I have with this product is that it isn't as nourishing as I thought it would be. If you have very dry skin this isn't the product for you. Having said that it does absorb very quickly and doesn't leave your hands feeling greasy so it is great to use while you are at work/sitting at a desk.
Tips: Use it at night before you go to bed, that way you can enjoy the gorgeous scent as you drift off to sleep and wake up with soft hands.
