Yep, index matching oil. We use it all day every day at my job hahaha. My bottles have labels though so I can’t see the effect like yours. Nice!

That's correct! This exact phenomenon was a question in the Gaki no Tsukai's New Year's Batsu Scientists special and included a demonstration with a glass submerged in salad oil. The glass vanished!

"It's a science!" 😁
