Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (CHD) is a diversified consumer goods company specializing in household, personal care, and specialty products. Its portfolio is anchored by the ARM & HAMMER brand, which serves as a foundation for a range of baking soda-based applications, alongside high-market-share brands including OxiClean, Trojan, WaterPik, and First Response. The company operates through three primary segments: Consumer Domestic, Consumer International, and a Specialty Products Division focused on animal nutrition and industrial chemicals.

This stability is supported by a multi-channel distribution network spanning mass merchandisers, drugstores, and e-commerce platforms.
In addition to consumer staples, Church & Dwight maintains a specialized footprint in the agricultural sector, providing prebiotic and probiotic feed additives to optimize livestock productivity.
