In response to the backlash, Sam admitted she was not an medical expert but was sharing her own experience with sunscreen.
She wrote on Instagram: "Wow, I've received so many kind and supportive messages from my sunscreen post. Thank you.
"I'd definitely recommend doing a little research into which tallow you'd like to use, there are lots of amazing options out there."
She continued: "PS: Just sharing my experience and tips (not an expert)."
The reality star then shared a photo of a brand of tallow that she usually relies on as an alternative to sunscreen.
Sam's confession came after she decided to do a Q&A with fans.
During it, one person asked the former Towie star: 'What suntan lotion do you use as you have a good natural colour?'
Sam, who is mum to Paul, 5, Rosie, 5, and three-year-old Edward, shared: 'So this is always a bit of a controversial one, but honestly, me and my whole family don't actually wear sunscreen.
'Over the years, the kids have built up a really good tolerance to being in the sun. Of course, if it's really hot and the sun feels too harsh.
'I'll make sure we head into the shade.. usually around lunchtime we'll go in, have something to eat, and just avoid those peak hours.'
She went on: 'I'm really careful about sunscreen in general, because a lot of them are actually pretty harmful and full of toxic ingredients.
'If you do want to protect your kids, I think SPF swimwear is such a good and safer option. But also, don't be afraid of the sun! Early in the morning or later in the afternoon when it's not as strong, I love letting the kids run around and soak it up it's so good for them.
'That said, I do always bring a Tallow Zine SPF with me when I go away, just in case. And hats or caps are a must! especially for us ladies, because no one wants extra sun damage (I've had my fair share over the years because I'm such a sun lover!).'
Fans have commented on Sam's latest post to share their concern after her suncreen message.
One person wrote: 'You need to delete your story about not wearing sunscreen I don't think you understand the damage you can do to your followers by promoting this.'
Someone else said: 'absolutely agree - so irresponsible!!' and a third echoed: ' was in shock - 'kids have grown a tolerance to the sun over the years' wtf?! Happy for them to get skin cancer then?'
It's not the first time Sam has been mum shamed on social media.
In a recent clip, followers were stunned when they spotted a lit candle on a tray next to Sam as she sat on a sofa with her youngest child.
One person wrote: "Why is there a lit candle on the sofa with a child running around?"
Another said: "That candle on the sofa is giving me anxiety."
And a third added: "Im going to have nightmares tonight about that candle."

Jess Wright always in 'doubt' over her success as she's compared to brother Mark
Former TOWIE star Jess Wright candidly admits to comparing her success to her famous brother Mark and her other siblings as she often doubts if she's 'doing well enough' Reality TV star Jess Wright has revealed that she constantly doubts her own success when comparing her career to that of her brother Mark Wright. Jess first shot to fame when she appeared on The Only Way Is Essex back in 2010 and has managed to secure a number of career successes since leaving the show the show. But due to the harsh nature of the TV industry, the star claims that she is constantly worrying if she is doing as well as her famous sibling, who co-hosts his Heart radio show alongside singer, Olly Murs. This comes after John Torode's wife Lisa Faulkner breaks her silence after his MasterChef sacking. In a recent interview, Jess said: "I'm quite driven by my family. Everyone is really ambitious and, obviously, Mark's really successful. Joshua is successful in what he does. Natalya's smashing it with her stuff. So you're always like: "God, am I doing enough?" I'm really hard on myself. I always think I'm not doing well enough." Opening up to The Sun in one of her most candid chats to date, she revealed that she often wakes up in the morning "thinking about my career." Having had a long stint within TV, Jess went on to say that she is aware of all the new faces that are coming through thanks to shows including Love Island. And TV bosses are always looking for the next big thing. But Jess is now set to join Jack Osbourne, Natalie Cassidy and Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu as they star in Cooking With The Stars, which is set to air later this evening. And while she is set to compete on a cooking show, it has also been reported that Mark, who recently became a father for the first time, is also rumoured to be appearing on Celebrity Bake Off. If the rumours are to be believed, Mark will join Molly-Mae Hague and JoJo Siwa. A source informed the publication: "Mark has had his hands full being a new dad but he found time to film for the new series of Celebrity Bake Off. It's a cause close to Mark's heart as it's all for the Stand Up Cancer charity and he is a big fan of the show. " They added: "It won't air until next year so fans will have to wait a good few months to find out how he fares in the tent." Despite being a father for the first time, it seems as though both he and Michelle Keegan have taken to parenthood with ease. When speaking about her brother as a dad, Jess told OK!: "Obviously now we've got Palma who is going to fit right in. She's adorable! They all absolutely love spending time with each other and Palma is an angel. She's so beautiful and sweet. The boys love her and are very gentle with her." She added: "It's lovely seeing [Mark and Michelle] as parents, I knew they would be incredible parents and they are. We're always with each other anyway and we tell each other little bits - there's always room to help each other out when you have babies. It's all such new territory."

Metal band cancel entire tour as they pull out of festival at last minute
A METAL band has cancelled their entire tour and pulled out of a festival at last minute. They were founded in 2005 and are known for their rap and nu metal musical influences. 1 Attila announced today that they have cancelled their European tour which was scheduled to kick off yesterday at Full Rewind Festival in Löbnitz, DE. The band took to their official Instagram account and shared a message regarding the last minute cancellation. The post said: "We'd like to sincerely apologize to our fans first and foremost. "We never intended on cancelling our 2025 European run but over the past couple years Attila and its crew have been put in situations that are volatile to not only our mental but individual health. "In return these scenarios have led us to set boundaries as humans beings as well as a functioning business. "We flew the entire band and crew all the way to Europe only to find out less than twenty four hours before our first show these boundaries were crossed again. "We are not here to speak negatively about any individual or company. "However, we have to stand up for ourselves and, more importantly, for the people who work hard to make Attila run smoothly. "Moving forward we are going to take the necessary measures to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. "We can only hope you understand and respect our decision." Attila Bad Habits Official Music Video One fan replied on Frontman Chris Fronzak's twitter account and said: "Not sharing any details will leave room for this to be interpreted as diva behavior for someone not meeting some arbitrary ask. "Not saying it is, but the people being let down deserve SOME kind of info." Frank replied: "I think this is plenty of info without throwing a certain "company" under the bus. "But let's just say that we (Attila) did every single thing right, showed up to Germany, & got absolutely f****d over day 1. "We're not dealing with anybody's bull***t anymore- we simply don't have to." Another fan responded: "F**k Fronz, that's ****ing terrible, recoup, reassess and rebuild, what a s***show for you guys." Attila's most successful album, About That Life, was released in 2013, and debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at number 22.
