Extracting Essential oils from Hops

[IXVolt]

My wife has started making soap and mentioned/inquired the possibility of making our own essential oils for the soaps. My attitude was kind of "Meh" at extracting essential oils, then I thought of the hop possibilities.

I haven't extracted anything since college, but just wondering if anyone on the boards here is or has extracted hop oils?

Kind of curious about it now.

Hops are great for toiletries because of their preservative properties. For soap, I would just crumble them and add them when you add the super fats, after most of your base fats are saponified.
