I have a spray that is said to treat burns, cuts scrapes, and itchy insect bites. It says nothing on the label about sunburns. Will it be effective in helping treat a mild sunburn?

Yes. It sounds like something that reduces sensations of the outer layers of skin. Analgesic I believe is the term. It’s a general remedy.
it should work. sunburn is just a first degree burn ont the top layer of skin. its not different from any other 1st degree burn.
It should help it, but i use this stuff called acuaphore (sp?.) it works wonders on my sun burns and i can get pretty bad ones.
It might help some but a better alternative is Water Gel. It works really well at cooling a sunburn and it has lidocaine in it…more than the benzocaine that is in Solarcaine or Dermoplast.
I’m using Water Gel now…because I got badly burned yesterday. It’s helping some but my burn is second degree…I will need some silver sulfadiazine for that since a second degree burn is much more prone to infection.
You can find Water Gel in the first aid section of any drug store. I highly recommend it.

Sunburn is a little different than a burn from a hot object. Sunburn is caused by both infrared and ultraviolet energy from the sun. Infra-red has long waves and goes deeper into the skin. So it take a little more time to heal. Also makes blisters while the skin tries to repair itself.
