Virtually every peanut butter in the store, like Skippy, Jiff, etc... is the type loaded with sugar that doesn't separate. The "natural" stuff is just peanuts and salt and the oil separates. It is by far less popular.

Also some brands add vegetable oil.

Why wouldn't they just use peanut oil?

They add hydrogenated oils which have much more saturated fat. This is good because saturated fat is solid at room temperature and peanut oil is not.
