Natura Market was founded in 2016 by Shakzod Khabibov.[1][2] The company is Whole30-approved.[3]

Natura Market grew during the lockdowns and stay-at-home orders of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in $19M in revenue for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2021.[4] The retailer carries varies American brands for the Canadian market, including Nutpods, Kettle & Fire, Siete Family Foods, and Primal Kitchen.[5][6]

In October 2021, Natura Market sold a majority stake to Freshii Inc., a healthy fast-casual restaurant chain in Canada.
