Yeah, it should be alright.

The only time aerosols get interesting is when the (a) the can size is enormous (a single can in excess of 18oz), or (b) it's considered flammable and not for personal use.

Personal use has been interpreted in HSV as something that you actually spray onto your body. By that definition, (and assuming all are flammable, I'm using this as an example and don't actually have them in front of me to check for flammability~) bug repellent aerosols are just fine (such as Off!™), but bug-killing sprays (such as Raid™) are not. You don't spray it on you, you spray it on the bug.

Interestingly, Static Guard™ is also considered a non-personal item. You spray it on your clothes, not on yourself.

Spray-on sunscreen, which goes directly onto your skin, should be considered a personal item.
