NEW YORK, May 29, 2026 – Proskauer advised Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE: CHD) on the acquisition of the Miss Mouth’s Messy Eater® brand for approximately $325 million.
Miss Mouth’s has gained a following among customers in need of fast-acting, non-toxic, on-the-spot stain removal across multiple surfaces. The brand has become the #1 stain remover brand on Amazon, and has recently expanded to multiple US retailers. Miss Mouth’s net sales and EBITDA for the twelve months through December 31, 2025 were approximately $80 million and $28 million. The transaction aligns with Church & Dwight’s acquisition strategy that focuses on #1 or #2 brands in a proven category with strong margins, that are asset-light and that can take advantage of Church & Dwight’s global sales, distribution, innovation and operations platforms.
Church & Dwight, founded in 1846, manufactures and markets a wide range of personal care, household, and specialty products under recognized brand names such as ARM & HAMMER®, TROJAN®, OXICLEAN®, FIRST RESPONSE®, NAIR®, ORAJEL®, XTRA®, BATISTE®, WATERPIK®, ZICAM®, THERABREATH®, HERO® and TOUCHLAND®.
