Everything Church & Dwight owns
Controlling ownership as of . Brands grouped under the entity that owns them; large groups are collapsed.
Church & Dwight signed and closed its purchase of the Miss Mouth's Messy Eater stain remover brand on 28 May 2026 for approximately $325 million, announcing it the following day. The brand had about $80 million of net sales and $28 million of EBITDA in 2025, much of it online, and joined the fabric care portfolio that already includes OxiClean. The seller was not named.
Church & Dwight acquired Waterpik for about $1 billion, its largest acquisition. Waterpik had effectively created the water flosser, a device dentists recommend for people who cannot floss conventionally, and it gave the company a durable oral care business alongside its toothpaste.
Church & Dwight acquired Avid Health, owner of the vitafusion and L'il Critters gummy vitamin brands, for about $650 million. Gummy vitamins were then growing far faster than tablets, and the purchase gave the company a position in supplements it had not had.
Church & Dwight acquired Orange Glo International, owner of OxiClean, for about $325 million. OxiClean had been built almost entirely through televised direct-response advertising, a channel most large consumer goods companies had ignored.
Church & Dwight acquired the consumer products business of Carter-Wallace for about $739 million in a joint transaction, taking Trojan condoms and First Response pregnancy tests. It transformed a company known mainly for baking soda into a broad household and personal care group.
