Actually peppermint oil won't hurt the skin(unless you have very sensitive skin), people use peppermint oil in spas so you should be okay if a little peppermint oil gets on your skin or you could simply wash it off.

Is it OK to put peppermint oil on your penis?

You should never apply an essential oil directly to your skin as they are highly concentrated. However, if it's contained in a carrier oil with a ratio of 1 drop peppermint oil per 1 tsp-tbsp of carrier (coconut, olive etc.) then yes it's perfectly ok, but peppermint oil will always tingle/burn slightly due to its menthol content. Different peoples skins are more sensitive to peppermint oil than others so test it on a less sensitive part of your skin first, (wrist, neck, cheek) and use a less concentrated ratio if you experience irritation.

Is peppermint oil the same as peppermint flavouring?

Peppermint oil and peppermint flavoring are not the same. Peppermint oil is a concentrated essential oil extracted from peppermint leaves, containing natural compounds that provide its characteristic flavor and aroma. In contrast, peppermint flavoring often refers to synthetic or artificially produced flavor compounds designed to mimic the taste of peppermint, and may not contain the same therapeutic properties as the oil. Therefore, while they share a similar flavor profile, their composition and uses can differ significantly.
