-An Eclipse mint is an oval prism rounded at top and bottom, with the top and bottom half varying colours, depending on the flavour. [[Spearmint]] (green), [[peppermint]] (blue), and Winterfrost (dark blue) are available, as well as [[cinnamon]] (all pink) and [[orange (fruit)|orange]] (light orange).

-The ingredients in the Australian and New Zealand cinnamon product are [[sorbitol]], flavour, [[anticaking agent]] (470), [[sweetener]]s (955, 950) and colours (129, 133); while the orange product contains food acid (330), sweetener (951) (instead of 950), and colours (102, 129) (instead of 129, 133).  The orange product advises that it contains [[Phenylalanine]].
-Though classified as breath mints, it is unknown if the mints contain active antibacterial ingredients. The new packaging now claims to have a 'natural ingredient' that is scientifically proven to help kill the germs that cause bad breath.  Such ingredient is not specified but the label points to a pending patent for this ingredient.  Wrigley's product website for Eclipse describes the ingredient as Magnolia bark extract (MBE), which has its origins in traditional Chinese medicine.  In lab tests, MBE is said to have killed almost all oral bacteria, including the types that cause bad breath and cavities. Eclipse is the first product in the US to contain MBE. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wrigley.com/brands/eclipse.do/|title="Wrigley.com: Eclipse"|accessdate=2008-10-13.}}</ref>
-Eclipse mints are packaged in a metal box. The top of the box (narrow end) is attached with metal hinge (a true [[hinge]], not a [[living hinge]] like many boxed mints). The top may be opened and pushed back on the hinge to gain access to the mints. On opening the box the tagline "incredibly fresh breath" is revealed, printed on a raised metal plate on the inner surface of the lid.
-mints are contained in each package, with a [[net weight]] of 34 [[gram|g]] (1.2 [[ounce|oz]]).
-==Availability==
-Eclipse mints are sold in [[Canada]] under the name Excel.  They are sold in the [[United States]], [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], [[Singapore]], [[Latvia]] and [[Hong Kong]] under the name Eclipse mints; in Australia they were previously sold under the name Airwaves.
-The Australian and New Zealand products contains a [[French language|French]] translation on the outer wrapper, even though it is not an official language of either country.
-In Canada Excel Mints are sold in cardboard boxes, with both French and English on the box, as required by law. The tag phrases on the box are "Excel-erate Your Breath" and "Rafraichaleine!"
-==Eclipse gum==
-Eclipse mints were introduced in 2003 as a brand extension of [[Eclipse (chewing gum)|Eclipse chewing gum]].
-==Other Uses==
-Eclipse mint tins have become popular in crafts and hobbies. They are being used in [[scrapbooking]], [[geocaching]] and the building of miniature castles and forts.
