It's not water, it's oil. Peanuts are high in peanut oil and when they are ground up the peanut oil separates from the high protein solids. Peanut butter companies like Jif and Skippy chemically alter some of the oil or add other ingredients to hold the oil and the solids together. They also add salt and sugar.

While they are nutritionally similar, Skippy contains 10 more milligrams of sodium than Jif and one more gram of sugar, and has fewer nutrients overall. But it does have half a milligram less saturated fat than Jif. The other main difference is how the two are sweetened. Jif uses molasses, while Skippy uses sugar.

Skippy's robust peanut flavor lingers on the palate longer than that of other regular peanut butters, such as Jif and Peter Pan, and it has a pleasant texture that doesn't feel waxy like some of the other oil-added peanut butters we tried, including Reese's and Target's Good & Gather.

The ingredients of the Skippy Natural are peanuts, sugar, palm oil, and salt. There's nothing unnatural about any of those ingredients, so they can get away with calling it "natural". What it isn't, obviously, is 100% peanuts. It's not even 90% peanuts, which is what the US code calls for in peanut butter.

Natural peanut butters (i.e., those made just from peanuts and salt) are clearly healthier, but we have one key complaint: separation. Highly processed peanut butters contain hydrogenated oils and other stabilizers for a reason: to keep the ingredients from separating.
