The mint choco is mostly just mint, which was a relief to me. However, I think that mint lip balm formulas are always never as good as others -- since they are naturally drying. It is a great moisturizer and isn't sticky. I have dry lips since it is winter and it kept my lips moisturized however, it didn't necessarily heal the cracks that were there. I had to use my cocoa butter to do the trick :) But this is still great for a lip balm at the end of the day. Color is clear, has a slight bluish hue that may make you look sick lol. It is a big pot for lip palm!
