I’m painfully familiar (from an investment perspective) with the FDA’s disappointing and lackluster record of approving food additives and medical devices in a timely fashion.
When it comes to hospital-grade handcleaners, the explosion of MRSA and other hospital acquired infections means successful trials with a “natural” germicide would be welcome news. Got a name for the principle ingredient? Is your friend seeking it for one of the trialed uses or for an off-label treatment?

This stuff has clinical trials and is in British medical journals. The US is doing trials now and expects to be using it in hospitals as hand washes with in the next couple years. We can expect the FDA to approve it for consumption a couple more years after that.

The reason laymen shouldn’t waste their money on most of the stuff is because the vast majority of overpriced products fall short in important catagories:
1. wild curative claims have NOT been confirmed by scientific/clinical trialing so the efficacy is dubious- does it really work, how much is needed, what happens if you take too much (television informercials are just modern snakeoil pitches; they often get around FDA fraud restrictions by slapping disclaimers on the bottom of the screen in print so tiny you need a magnifying glass to read them)
2. little or no rigorous quality control standards govern harvesting and production (you don’t know where it really came from, what chemicals might have tainted it, how much IF ANY of the magic ingredient is really used or even whether it’s mixed well to produce uniform amounts in each serving)
As with many legit supplements and even name brand vitamins that gullible laymen swallow because an advertisement sounded great, at best, self-medication with herbs often just creates expensive urine (because the stuff flushes out unmetabolized), but at worst, can be toxic.
There are many examples of product recalls that occurred only after the FDA finally got round to investigating the crackpot claims made by fraudsters. e.g., coral calcium (false claims, hype, plus uncontrolled harvesting damaged coral reefs), dehydrated veggies (bad quality control - no proof it had veggies and not just leaves raked off yards, contained a lot of insect parts), etc.
