 Exhibit 10.1 

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. 

2022 OMNIBUS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN  

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT 

This STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as
of                 (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (the “Company”)
to                 (the “Grantee”). 

RECITALS 
 The
Church & Dwight Co., Inc. 2022 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (as amended and restated effective as of April 28, 2022) (the “Plan”) provides for, among other things, the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock of the
Company. The Compensation & Human Capital Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), which administers the Plan, has decided to make a stock option grant as an inducement for the Grantee to continue in
the employ of the Employer and promote the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. References in this Agreement to the Committee shall include any successor thereto appointed under and in accordance with the Plan. Any capitalized term
used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in
the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee a nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) to purchase                 shares of common stock of the
Company (“Shares”) at an exercise price of $        per Share. The Option shall vest and become exercisable according to Paragraph 2 below. The Option is not intended to qualify and will not
be treated as an Incentive Stock Option. 
 2. Exercisability of Option. Except as provided in Paragraphs 3(b) and 5 below or the Plan, the Option
shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the schedule set forth below, if the Grantee continues to be employed by the Employer on the applicable vesting date(s). 
  

			
	 Vesting Date(s)
	  	Shares for Which the Option is Exercisable on the Vesting Date(s)
	 Third anniversary of the Date of Grant
	  	100%

 3. Term of Option. 

(a) The Option shall have a term of ten years from the Date of Grant and shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant, unless
it is terminated at an earlier date pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan. 











 (b) The Option shall automatically terminate upon the happening of the first of the
following events, unless otherwise agreed by the Committee by resolution passed prior to or contemporaneously with the grant of the Option: 

(i) The expiration of the 90-day period after the Grantee ceases to be employed by the
Employer, if the Grantee’s employment is terminated due to any reason other than Disability (as defined below), death, Retirement (as defined below) or Cause (as defined below). In the event such employment termination results from a
termination by the Employer without Cause (other than a termination due to Disability, death or Retirement), then, during such 90-day period, if the Grantee executes a written release (in a form acceptable to
the Company) of any and all claims against the Employer and all related parties with respect to all matters arising out of the Grantee’s employment and termination of employment with the Employer and such related parties, and such release is or
becomes irrevocable under applicable law during such 90-day period, then the Option (to the extent unvested) shall continue to vest and become exercisable in accordance with the schedule set forth in Paragraph
2 above during such 90-day period. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee continues to vest in the Option during such 90-day period, but the Option would not
otherwise vest under the schedule set forth in Paragraph 2 above during such time, no vesting shall occur. 
 (ii) The
expiration of the three-year period after the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Employer, if the Grantee’s employment is terminated on account of the Grantee’s Disability. Upon such employment termination, the Option (to the extent
unvested) shall continue to vest and become exercisable in accordance with the schedule set forth in Paragraph 2 above during such three-year period. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall be determined in accordance
with the Employer’s long-term disability plan then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee is a party to an employment agreement with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary that contains a definition of “disability,”
such definition shall apply to Grantee for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (iii) The expiration of the three-year period after
the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Employer, if the Grantee’s employment is terminated due to his or her death while employed by the Employer. Upon such employment termination, the Option shall continue to vest and become exercisable in
accordance with the schedule set forth in Paragraph 2 above during such three-year period. 
 (iv) The expiration of the term
described in Paragraph 3(a) if the Grantee’s employment is terminated on account of the Grantee’s Retirement (as defined below). Upon such employment termination, the Option shall continue to vest and become exercisable in accordance with
the schedule set forth in Paragraph 2 above during such term. For purposes of this Agreement, a Grantee shall be considered to meet the requirements of “Retirement” if: 

(1) The Grantee’s termination of employment is voluntary and is not a termination by the Employer without Cause, and the
Grantee (A) has provided the Employer with at least 120 days’ prior written notice of the proposed termination date, (B) has entered into a separation 

  
 -2- 












 
agreement with the Employer that contains confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement and invention assignment provisions, and (C) is aged 55 or above as of the Grantee’s employment termination date and, as of such employment termination date, (i) the Grantee has
provided the Employer and its affiliates with at least five years of continued service and (ii) the sum of the Grantee’s age and his or her aggregate years of service with the Employer and its affiliates is equal to or greater than 65; or

 (2) The Grantee’s termination of employment is involuntary and made by the Employer without Cause, and the Grantee
(A) pursuant to the request of the Employer, has entered into a separation agreement with the Employer that contains confidentiality, non-competition,
non-solicitation and non-disparagement provisions, and (B) is aged 55 or above as of the Grantee’s employment termination date and, as of such employment
termination date, (i) the Grantee has provided the Employer and its affiliates with at least five years of continued service and (ii) the sum of the Grantee’s age and his or her aggregate years of service with the Employer and its
affiliates is equal to or greater than 65. 
 (v) The date on which the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the
Employer for Cause. In addition, upon such employment termination, the Grantee shall automatically forfeit all Shares underlying any exercised portion of an Option for which the Company has not yet delivered the Share certificates, upon refund by
the Company to the Grantee of the exercise price paid by the Grantee for such Shares. Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Paragraph 3, if, after the termination of Grantee’s employment with the Employer, the Committee (or its designee)
determines that the Grantee has (i) engaged in conduct which would reasonably be expected to constitute Cause hereunder, or (ii) breached any restrictive covenant by which the Grantee is bound (whether under this Agreement or otherwise),
then in each case, 100% of the Option shall immediately terminate and be forfeited. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean the Grantee’s dishonesty, malfeasance, misfeasance, fraud, insubordination, willful
misconduct, commission of a criminal offense or refusal or failure to perform services (for any reason other than Disability or physical or mental incapacity), in each case, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Grantee is a party to an employment agreement with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary that contains a definition of “cause,” such definition shall apply to Grantee for purposes of this Agreement. 

(vi) The tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant. 

(c) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING: 

(A) In no event may the Option be exercised on or after the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant; 

(B) Any portion of the Option that is not vested or exercisable at the time the Grantee ceases to be employed by the Employer,
and that will not subsequently vest or become exercisable as provided in subparagraph 3(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, shall immediately terminate and be forfeited as of the Grantee’s employment termination date; and 

(C) In the event that: (i) the Grantee’s termination of employment is involuntary and made by the Employer without
Cause, (ii) the Grantee resides outside of the United States, and (iii) the Grantee will receive severance or separation payments that exceed one year’s base salary or wages, then, to the extent legally permissible under applicable
local laws and regulations, the Option will immediately terminate and cease to be outstanding as of the Grantee’s employment termination date.

 4. Exercise Procedures. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2 and 3 above, the Grantee may exercise part or all of the vested and exercisable portions of the
Option by delivering written notice to a representative of the Company designated by the Committee on any business day (the “Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased accompanied by full
payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased. The Exercise Notice will be effective when it is received by the Company’s representative. Any Person exercising the Option after the death of the Grantee must provide appropriate
documentation to the satisfaction of the Company that such Person is entitled to exercise the Option. Payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased in full shall be made in one (or a combination) of the following:
(i) in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Company, (ii) with the approval of the Committee, by delivery of unrestricted Shares which have already been owned by the Grantee which are surrendered to the Company having a Fair Market
Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price, (iii) by payment through a broker in accordance with procedures permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board or (iv) by such other method as the Committee may
approve. The Committee may impose from time to time such limitations as it deems appropriate on the use of Shares of the Company to exercise the Option. 

(b) The Company’s obligation to deliver Shares upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to the Plan (including, without limitation,
Section 15 thereof) and all applicable laws, rules, regulations and stock exchange requirements and also to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the Company, including such actions as Company counsel shall
deem necessary or appropriate to comply with such applicable laws, rules, regulations and stock exchange requirements. 
 (c) The Company or
the Employer shall have the right to require payment of, or deduction from payments of any kind otherwise due to Grantee, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by applicable law to be withheld upon the issuance, vesting or
delivery of any Shares, dividends or payments of any kind. The Company or the Employer may withhold taxes from any payments due to Grantee or Grantee may deliver a check to the Company or the Employer. Subject to the prior approval of the Committee,
which may be withheld by the Committee in its sole discretion, Grantee may elect to satisfy the minimum statutory withholding obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by having the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable to Grantee or
(ii) by delivering to the Company Shares already owned by Grantee. The shares delivered or withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy the minimum statutory total tax withholding obligations. The shares used to
satisfy any tax withholding obligation must be vested and cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, or other similar requirements.

 5. Change of Control. The provisions of the Plan relating to the consequences of a Change of Control
(including, without limitation, Section 14 of the Plan) shall apply to the outstanding Option, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may take such actions as it deems appropriate in accordance with the Plan. 

6. Restrictions on Exercise. Except as the Committee may otherwise permit pursuant to the Plan, only the Grantee may exercise the Option during the
Grantee’s lifetime and, after the Grantee’s death, the Option shall be exercisable (subject to the limitations specified in the Plan) solely by the legal representatives of the Grantee, or by the person who acquires the right to exercise
the Option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, in each case, solely to the extent that the Option is exercisable pursuant to this Agreement. 

7. Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all
respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The grant and exercise of the Option are subject to interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (a) the registration, qualification or listing of the Shares, (b) changes in capitalization of the Company and (c) other requirements of applicable law
and stock exchange rules and regulations. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe the Option pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder. A copy of the Plan
has been provided to the Grantee. By accepting the grant of the Option, the Grantee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement and agrees that all of the decisions and determinations of the Committee shall be final and binding.

 8. No Employment or Other Rights. The grant of the Option shall not confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained by or in the employ of any
Employer and shall not interfere in any way with the right of any Employer to terminate the Grantee’s employment at any time. The right of any Employer to terminate at will the Grantee’s employment at any time for any reason is
specifically reserved. 
 9. No Stockholder Rights. Neither the Grantee, nor any person entitled to exercise the Grantee’s rights in the event
of the Grantee’s death, shall have any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to the Option, until certificates for Shares have been issued upon the exercise of the Option. 

10. Assignment and Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing in Paragraph 6 above, the Grantee shall be permitted to transfer the Option to a
“family member” (as defined in General Instruction A.1(a)(5) to Registration Statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Grantee; provided that the Grantee
receives no consideration for such transfer and the transferred Option continues to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Option immediately prior to such transfer; and provided, further, that any such
transfer shall be effectuated only by a written instrument acceptable to the Committee that is executed and delivered to the Company by the Grantee and the transferee, and consented to by the Company.

 11. Data Privacy Consent. As a condition of the grant of the Option, Grantee hereby consents to the
collection, use and transfer of personal data as described in this paragraph. Grantee understands that the Company, the Employer and their affiliates hold certain personal information about Grantee, including (as applicable) name, home address and
telephone number, date of birth, social security number, social insurance number, salary, nationality, job title, ownership interests or directorships held in the Company, the Employer or their affiliates, and details of all stock options or other
equity awards or other entitlements to Shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested or unvested (“Data”). Grantee further understands that the Company, the Employer and their affiliates will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary
for the purposes of implementation, administration and management of Grantee’s participation in the Plan, and that the Company, the Employer and any of their affiliates may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting in the

as may be required for the administration of the Plan or the subsequent holding of Shares on Grantee’s behalf, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s participation in the Plan,
including any requisite transfer to a broker or other third party with whom Grantee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired under the Plan. Grantee understands that he or she may, at any time, view such Data or require any necessary amendments to
it.

party, Confidential Information, unless compelled by law after reasonable advance notice to the Company. If the Grantee has any questions regarding what data or information would be considered by the Company to be Confidential Information subject to

 -6- 












 
Competitive Activity (as defined below), either as a partner, proprietor, shareholder, creditor, joint venturer, officer, director, agent, employee, consultant, executive, trustee, affiliate or
otherwise; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Grantee from (i) performing services for a person or entity engaged in Competitive Activity that are not the same or substantially similar to those performed by the Grantee for the

(f) Subject to this Paragraph 12, the Grantee agrees to keep the existence of, terms of and conditions of this Agreement
confidential and the Grantee agrees that the Grantee will not disclose any information concerning this Agreement or its terms to anyone other than the Grantee’s spouse, legal counsel and/or financial advisors, provided that: (i) the
Grantee first informs them of the Grantee’s obligations under this Paragraph 12 and that this Agreement is highly confidential; and (ii) they agree to maintain confidentiality. 

(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Grantee from (i) disclosing information and documents when required by
law, subpoena or court order (subject to the requirements of this Paragraph 12), (ii) disclosing the Grantee’s post-employment restrictions in this Agreement in confidence to any potential new employer, or (iii) filing a charge with,
reporting possible violations to, or participating or cooperating with any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission,
Congress, or any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower, anti- discrimination, or anti-retaliation provisions of federal, state or local law or regulation (provided, however,
that the Grantee may not disclose information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is protected by the attorney-client privilege, except as otherwise required by law) and the Grantee does not need the authorization of the Company to make
any such reports or disclosure and shall not be required to notify the Company that the Grantee has made such reports or disclosures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Grantee is subpoenaed by any person or entity (including, but
not limited to, any government agency) to give testimony (in a deposition, court proceeding or otherwise) which in any way relates to the Grantee’s employment by the Employer, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantee shall
give prompt notice of such request to a designated Company representative and shall make no disclosure until the Company has had a reasonable opportunity to contest the right of the requesting person or entity to such disclosure, unless the Grantee
is otherwise ordered by a court or governmental authority. Nothing in this Agreement prevents a Grantee from discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that

seal. The Grantee’s disclosure of trade secrets to attorneys, made under seal, or pursuant to court order is also protected in certain circumstances under 18 U.S. Code §1833.

 (i) The provision of any benefits under this Agreement are expressly made
subject to the Grantee’s compliance with this Paragraph 12. The Grantee agrees that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for the Grantee’s failure to comply fully with the
provisions of this Paragraph 12, in addition to any other legal and monetary remedies which may be available to the Company and its Subsidiaries. If the Grantee violates any restrictive covenant set forth in this Paragraph 12, the Grantee agrees
that the period of such violation shall be added to the term of the restriction. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the provisions of this Paragraph 12 shall be in addition to (and not in lieu of), and shall not
have any effect on, any restrictive covenants that the Grantee is bound to under or pursuant to any other plan, policy, agreement or arrangement. 
 13.
Forfeiture; Recoupment. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (i) the Grantee is terminated
for Cause, or (ii) after the termination of Grantee’s employment with the Employer, the Committee (or its designee) determines that the Grantee has (x) engaged in conduct which would reasonably be expected to constitute Cause
hereunder, or (y) breached any restrictive covenant by which the Grantee is bound (whether under this Agreement or otherwise), then in each case, the Company shall have the right to recoup from the Grantee, and the Grantee shall repay to the
Company, within thirty (30) days following demand by the Company, a payment equal to the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Shares received upon exercise of the Option (if any) within the 12-month period
immediately preceding such termination or determination, as applicable, net of the aggregate exercise price paid by the Grantee in cash upon exercise of such Option (if any); provided, that, the Company may require the Grantee to satisfy such
payment obligations hereunder either by forfeiting and returning to the Company such Shares received upon exercise of the Option or any other Shares, or making a cash payment or any combination of these methods, as determined by the Company in its
sole discretion. 
 (b) The Grantee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the forfeiture and recoupment conditions set forth in
this Paragraph 13, in view of the nature of the business in which the Company and its affiliates are engaged, are reasonable in scope and necessary in order to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and its affiliates, and that any
violation thereof would result in irreparable harm to the Company and its affiliates. The Grantee also acknowledges and agrees that (i) it is a material inducement and condition to the Company’s issuance of the Option that such Grantee
agrees to be bound by such forfeiture and recoupment conditions and, further, that the amounts required to be forfeited or repaid to the Company pursuant to forfeiture and recoupment conditions set forth above are reasonable, and (ii) nothing
in this Agreement or the Plan is intended to preclude the Company (or any affiliate thereof) from seeking any remedies available at law, in equity, under contract to the Company or otherwise, and the Company (or any affiliate thereof) shall have the
right to seek any such remedy with respect to the Option, or otherwise. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the Options awarded under this Agreement and the underlying Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any clawback and/or recoupment policy adopted by the Company from time to time that
applies to similarly situated employees of the Company, the Employer, and/or their respective affiliates. Notwithstanding the 

  
 -9- 












 
foregoing, to the extent applicable to the Grantee, the Grantee agrees that incentive compensation, as defined under of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and
such regulations as are promulgated thereunder from time to time (“Dodd-Frank”), payable to Grantee under this Agreement shall be subject to any clawback policy adopted or implemented by the Company in respect of Dodd-Frank, or in respect
of any other applicable law or regulation. 
 14. Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this instrument shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. 
 15.
Notice. Any notice to the Company provided for in this instrument shall be addressed to the Company in care of the General Counsel at 500 Charles Ewing Boulevard, Ewing, New Jersey 08628, and any notice to the Grantee shall be addressed to
such Grantee at the current address shown on the payroll of the Employer, or to such other address as the Grantee may designate to the Employer in writing. Any notice shall be delivered by hand or by a recognized courier service such as FedEx or
UPS, sent by telecopy or enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as stated above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service. 

16. Consent to Electronic Communications. The Grantee agrees that the Company may provide him or her with any communications associated with this
Option in electronic format. Grantee’s consent to receive electronic communications includes, but is not limited to, all legal and regulatory disclosures and communications associated with this Option or notices or disclosures about a change in
the terms and conditions of this Option. 
 17. Taxes. Any tax obligations of Grantee and tax liability therefore, including, without limitation, any
penalties or interest based upon such tax obligations, that arise from any payments made to Grantee in respect of the Option (or any portion thereof) shall be Grantee’s sole responsibility and liability. In addition, the Grantee hereby agrees
that neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability to the Grantee in respect of such tax obligations or liability. 
 18. No
Acquired Rights. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Company may terminate or amend the Plan at any time; (b) the award of Options made under this Agreement is completely independent of any other award or Grant and is
made at the sole discretion of the Company; and (c) no past Grants or awards (including, without limitation, the Options awarded hereunder) give the Grantee any right to any Grants or awards in the future whatsoever. 

19. Severability and Judicial Modification. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, (a) each of the Company, each of its Subsidiaries and their
respective successors, and the Grantee hereby agree that such provision(s) should be modified by the court and, to the maximum extent permissible under the applicable law, enforced; and (b) any invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of a
particular provision will not affect any other provision of this Agreement.
