I'm accustomed to seeing large plumes of chemicals coming out the other end in my minds eye when I think about rocket launches. This looks "clean" coming out the exhaust.

Why is that? Is it due to the nature of chemicals it uses?

Basically yes, other rockets might burn chemicals that create more soot. This one seemingly doesn’t.
