Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE: CHD), founded in 1846, is the largest U.S. producer of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). The company manufactures and markets a diversified portfolio of consumer household, personal care, and specialty products sold under well-known brand names including ARM & HAMMER, TROJAN, OXICLEAN, FIRST RESPONSE, NAIR, ORAJEL, XTRA, BATISTE, WATERPIK, ZICAM, THERABREATH, HERO, TOUCHLAND, and MISS MOUTH'S.

The company has been actively reshaping its portfolio through strategic acquisitions of high-growth brands such as THERABREATH (oral care), HERO (acne care), TOUCHLAND (hand sanitizer), and most recently MISS MOUTH'S MESSY EATER (stain remover), while divesting slower-growth product lines. E-commerce is a significant and rapidly growing channel, representing 25.5% of total consumer sales. Innovation is central to the company's growth strategy, with new product launches expected to drive approximately half of organic growth. Updated Jul 31, 2026
