About
CALYX Roots

Meet CALYX Roots
CALYX Roots is a reef-safe dry shampoo brand founded by Reachelle Kacz — an ocean lover, certified diver, and beauty industry professional. After witnessing coral bleaching firsthand and struggling to find a clean, non-aerosol dry shampoo that aligned with her values, she set out to create her own.
CALYX is made with all-natural ingredients and packaged in recyclable paper, keeping both your scalp and the ocean in mind. Inspired by the protective structure that anchors coral to the reef, CALYX is rooted in sustainability — with a portion of proceeds dedicated to coral reef conservation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still deciding?
Yes, we prioritize using recycled polyester whenever we can.
Every piece in our collection manufactured from our US production partner is made from 75% recycled polyester (rPET), sourced from post consumer plastic waste.
If you're ordering from Europe, the majority of our pieces are made from at least 81% recycled polyester including all our bikinis, Swim Trunks, Breezy Swim Trunks, Scuba Leggings, and Cropped Rashies.
We use recycled polyester because compared to traditional polyester, rPET reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 79%. We make every order on demand, which means zero overproduction and nothing goes to landfill unsold.
Yes, all of our scuba bikinis, rash guards, and leggings are rated UPF 50+, blocking 98% of harmful UV rays. Whether you're on the dive boat between dives or snorkeling a shallow reef, you're protected from sun exposure without a single drop of chemical sunscreen in the water.
Every single order plants corals through our Save Our Seas Pledge, 10% of every purchase goes directly to ocean conservation including coral restoration with our conservation partner Living Seas Foundation.
We've seen firsthand what healthy reefs look like, and what they look like when they're gone. This is our commitment to making sure every purchase gives something back.
Absolutely, our swimwear is designed specifically for divers. The secure, stay-put fit means nothing rides up or bunches under your wetsuit or BCD, and the stretchy recycled fabric moves with your body underwater rather than against it.
Our rash guards and Scuba Leggings double as dive skins in warm tropical water above 24°C, and layer perfectly under a wetsuit in cooler conditions.
The Dive Compass is designed by a chemical engineer with a master's degree in Sustainability Science and Technology.
We don't just use recycled materials and call it sustainable. Every piece is made to order to eliminate excess inventory waste, we partner with Living Seas Foundations for active coral restoration, and we design every print around the marine life and ecosystems we're committed to protecting.
This isn't swimwear with a sustainability label. It's dive wear built around a mission.
The calyx is the cup-shaped skeletal structure that each individual coral polyp lives inside — the architectural foundation of everything a coral reef is built from.
Each tiny polyp, no bigger than a pencil eraser, secretes calcium carbonate to form its calyx, and over hundreds and thousands of years, billions of these microscopic cups stack and fuse together to create the vast, complex reef structures that support a quarter of all marine life on earth. It's one of nature's most extraordinary acts of collective building, each individual contribution seemingly insignificant, the cumulative result utterly breathtaking.
The calyx is also one of the first things affected by ocean acidification, as seawater becomes more acidic due to rising CO₂ levels, the calcium carbonate that corals need to build their skeletal cups literally dissolves, weakening reef structures that took millennia to construct.
Scientists studying coral health look closely at calyx formation as one of the earliest indicators of reef stress, making it one of the most important and overlooked structures in the ocean.
The Calyx Roots collection honors that quiet, foundational beauty, bold white and blush coral branches against warm terracotta, a print that finds elegance in the architecture of the reef itself rather than the creatures that inhabit it. A reminder that the most important structures are often the ones we never notice until they're gone.
Every purchase plants corals under our Save Our Seas Pledge, contributing one more calyx, one more polyp, one more cup of calcium carbonate to the reefs we are committed to restoring.

Coral reefs need our help!
Your purchase plants corals
Did you know that it is estimated that over 50% of coral reefs have been lost since the 1950s?
When we learned this heartbreaking statistic we knew we had to do something about it - so we created The Dive Compass, an ocean loving swimwear brand where YOUR purchase can actually make a difference. Each purchase plants corals in the heart of the Coral Triangle in Bali, Indonesia with the Livingseas Foundation.
