Smooth peanut butter

My granddaughter (6) loves smooth peanut butter. Where she lives in the Czech Republic, they can buy this with no additives (sugar, salt, oil) and no brown bits of peanut 'skin'. Here I cannot find anything that fulfills these requirements. The 'pure' ones have the brown bits (presumably to add a touch of verisimilude) and the own brand ones with no brown bits have sugar salt and palm oil.
Does anyone know of a brand that ticks all the boxes?

I buy mani- life peanut butter. Two ingredients: peanuts and salt (0.3%).

I have Meridian. It’s manufactured in the UK, and has no additives at all if you get the no sugar/no salt version. None of their products contain palm oil. It does have the skins though, peanut butter is healthier with them on.

Another vote for Nuts About Nature.

I get advice on additive free food from Aldi Lidl and M&S on instagram and I’m sure one of them had a sugar free peanut butter. I’ve only just realised that peanut butter is good for my cholesterol lowering diet. Going to Aldi next week so I’ll see what they have.

Thank you for these suggestions. I have looked at Nuts about Nature, Mani-life and Meridian, but, while good on additive-avoiding, all have the 'brown bits' that my granddaughter objects to.
welshgirl2017 The BwfO one seems smooth, but I can't see if it has skin bits and it's a bit expensive to order without knowing.
I am sure the skins are healthy, Casdon but health is not (yet) my Granddaughter's priority!

The brown bits are the thin skins of the peanuts.

I'm pretty sure Pip & Nut (No Salt Smooth): Pip & Nut removes the skins before roasting.
Their unsalted smooth version contains from memory is perfect.

I think Biona organic peanut butter is the sane in the no salt version.

? What a jumble. Apologies!

I'm pretty sure Pip & Nut (no salt smooth version ) removes the skins. I'm typing this from memory though.

Whole Earth Organic smooth is delicious. Often on offer in Tesco.
