In this case an appeal to nature is not fallacious, although it lacked the appropriate justification.

No, it's still a fallacy.

By providing "appropriate justification," it'd no longer be a fallacy.

Isn't a fallacy a false (baseless) justification? I'm not sure how providing justification changes a fallacy.
