About Essentara Market
Essentara Market is dedicated to promoting Canadian local brands and connecting them with the Barrie community. We believe in supporting small businesses, celebrating local craftsmanship, and making it easier for customers to discover quality products made by Canadian entrepreneurs.
Our Story
Essentara Market was founded with a vision to create a trusted marketplace for premium everyday essentials inspired by clean living, wellness, and Canadian craftsmanship.
We began with a focused collection of natural deodorants — a product that plays an important role in everyday confidence, comfort, and personal care. This starting point reflects our belief that even the smallest daily essentials should support wellbeing and healthier choices.
From the beginning, our focus has been on supporting Canadian-made products, with a strong connection to local businesses in Barrie and surrounding communities. We saw a need for a curated space where quality matters more than quantity, and where every product is chosen with purpose.
As we grow, we are expanding into additional wellness and lifestyle categories, while staying true to our foundation of clean, thoughtful, and Canadian-made products.
Every product at Essentara Market is selected based on:
• Quality and performance
• Clean and conscious ingredients
• Simplicity and everyday usability
• Wellness-focused living
• Canadian-made craftsmanship
• Relevance to modern lifestyles
Meet the Founder
Hi, I'm Harish Sivakumar, the founder of Essentara Market.
Essentara Market started with a simple idea — to support Canadian local brands and bring them closer to the Barrie community. I wanted to create something that connects people with meaningful, well-made products from trusted local businesses.
Every product we feature is carefully chosen with intention, focusing on quality, authenticity, and everyday usefulness.
This journey is personal, and I’m grateful to build a platform that supports both local makers and the community we serve.
What We Believe In
Canadian-Made & Local Support
We proudly support Canadian brands, with a strong focus on customers in Barrie and surrounding communities. Our goal is to help local makers and entrepreneurs reach customers who value quality and authenticity.
Clean & Conscious Living
We believe everyday essentials should support a healthier lifestyle through clean ingredients, responsible sourcing, and thoughtful formulation.
Curated With Purpose
Instead of offering everything, we focus on carefully selecting products that align with our values of wellness, simplicity, and intentional living.
Everyday Wellness
From personal care to future lifestyle essentials, our goal is to make wellness-inspired products a natural part of your daily routine.
Starting With Natural Deodorants
Our launch collection features natural deodorants made with cleaner ingredients and refreshing scents designed for everyday confidence.
We chose to begin with deodorants because they represent what Essentara Market stands for — simplicity, wellness, and practical daily care. It is a small but meaningful step toward building a more conscious approach to personal care.
As we grow, we look forward to expanding into more organic and premium lifestyle categories that continue to reflect our values.
