History of Arm & Hammer
- Founded: 1867
- Founders: Austin Church, John Dwight
The history of Arm & Hammer begins with the founding of Church & Dwight as a baking soda company. Sodium bicarbonate had multiple uses in Victorian households, including baking, cleaning, and oral hygiene. Church & Dwight established the Arm & Hammer brand to distinguish its premium baking soda from competitors.
Through the twentieth century, Church & Dwight leveraged the Arm & Hammer brand to extend into new product categories by finding new uses for its core baking soda technology. The brand entered laundry detergent in 1970, cat litter deodorizer in 1972, toothpaste in 1988, and deodorant and antiperspirant in the 2000s.
The toothpaste extension has been particularly successful. Arm & Hammer toothpaste consistently ranks among the top-ten best-selling toothpaste brands in the United States, competing on the baking soda whitening and cleaning positioning.
