During an episode of the
Netflix show, Meghan Markle put together the welcome present for makeup artist
Daniel Martin ahead of a visit.
In the concoction she made in her kitchen, the former
Suits actress mixed Epsom salt, Himalayan salt, arnica oil and lavender oil. Following the episode, skin experts warned the recipe could pose risks to some users.

In an interview with
RadarOnline.com, Maryland resident
Robin Patrick claims she suffered "significant pain and cosmetic distress" after making Meghan Markle's bath salts.
The woman — who is a diabetic — is alleging the A-lister had a "duty of care" to provide "adequate warnings" to fans who have different skin types, allergies and
health conditions.
"Initially, I experienced a mild tingling sensation without discomfort," Patrick explained of using the potion in the tub. "However, as the water level rose to cover my legs and reached my buttocks, I began to feel burning and significant discomfort in those areas. I immediately exited the tub, stopped the water and later stirred the bathwater with my right hand and arm to assess the mixture. This resulted in additional burning sensations on my hand and arm."

After Robin Patrick realized her skin was becoming irritated, she did her best to curb the redness allegedly caused by the bath salts.
"After draining the tub, I applied Gold Bond lotion, which provided no relief followed by lidocaine sprays which temporarily alleviated the
pain," she explained. "That evening, while showering, I experienced intense burning as water contacted the affected areas, which had developed into ulcers."
In the days since Patrick allegedly tried Meghan Markle's recipe, the pain has yet to subside. "To date, the burns are still not healed and are quite uncomfortable. The others are just sore as heck to touch," she claimed. "Since the incident, I have endured persistent burning, discomfort and the emergence of new blister-like sores and ulcers daily. These symptoms have disrupted my daily and nightly routines, preventing me from taking warm showers or wearing clothing over the affected areas."

By threatening to pursue legal action, Robin Patrick feels Meghan Markle should have to take accountability for allegedly not doing her due diligence when making a recipe that could put people at risk.
"As an individual with an autoimmune condition and compromised
immune system, compounded by diabetes-related dry skin on my legs and feet, I am deeply concerned about the risk of infection, sepsis, or other complication," she explained. "The pain feels as though it is burning from within."
