The company
A biomaterial company that started in Cheongju
Gosohae Co., Ltd. grows the value of mutual prosperity with local farms. Through upcycling — giving new life to resources that would otherwise be discarded — it looks after the environment, and through research and development of TMO (Tenebrio Molitor Oil) it opens new possibilities. It aims to be a sustainable company where people, nature, and technology coexist.
Since 2023 in Cheongju, Chungbuk, Gosohae has secured mealworm ingredients with partner farms and carried protein and oil materials into cosmetics and food. The cosmetic brand beyuri and the nutrition brand Dr.CB are how it presents where the material comes from, and what is in the product.
Gosohae is a Chungbuk biomaterial company that turns mealworm-derived material into cosmetics and nutritional products, drawing on veterinary and livestock-field experience. It raises and does primary processing of the material, and plans the products. The manufacturer of each finished product is the one named on that package.
The real task was not to stop at describing what insect ingredients might do, but to finish them as products people can actually use.
When the company was being named, the story that remains is a simple one: the taste was savory — goso — so the name became Gosohae.
From ingredient to product
Partner farms in Chungbuk, primary processing, and specialist manufacturers, connected on purpose.
Clear labeling

One material, two paths
Oil from the mealworm goes to skincare. Protein material goes to nutritional food.
