I'm not the person behind the @mastenspace account, and all you asked for was the ingredients. ;-)

I don't have much to add besides what all we've now tweeted out, but for those not on twitter, here is what was tweeted:

MXP-351 can get within 90 - 95% of the theoretical Isp of a traditional NTO/MMH bipropellant. We plan to use it for our small moon landers

Theoretical Isp:322s vs 336 for NTO
Both propellants nontoxic. Splash protection & simple chem respirator 2 handle

Storage duration: long-term study is ongoing - current estimate is a few years

And a couple of videos:
