It is Xanthan gum.
It’s widely used because it is low in carbs and doesn’t require cooking like corn starch does. It is also used as a substitute for gluten in gluten free breads and baked goods to give the product structure like gluten would normally do.

It is a thickener used both in food and in toothpaste and cosmetics, a substance made from a bacteria, not much unlike yogurt BA teria. Xanthan gum is also used to keep fats or oils from separating in storage, or herbs and spices suspended I. salad dressings, etc.
