Do you want to use it for ph regulation? Sorry, im not so experienced with lactates, as the lactates i tried once changed the odour of my formula to very unpleasant when stored at 40℃. Thats why i cant answer your question.
But for sodium lactate you could try ashland disribution company -
Purac is the world leader in lactate systems. I had been working in the past with them in meat formulations but I also use them now in lotions and creams with great success. Sodium lactate is a 60% solution in water and have a strong synergistic effect with sodium diacetate. These are not considered preservatives but rather bacteriostatic agents that increase the bacterial lag phase, reduce the active water for the latter and thus boost the life expectancy of the product. If you have also the correct preservative you have nothing to be afraid of. I use sodium lactate/sodium diacetate at 2.90% in my face and body lotion recipes (subtracting water in the recipe) along with phenoxyethanol, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. pH set at 5.2

@manstra thanks for the interesting information. There appear to be two possible suppliers in Mexico, I suspect both suppliers deal with the food industry.

Would adding sodium chloride to lactic acid @ 1:2 not give you sodium lactate?

Obtaining lactic acid is as difficult as obtaining lactates.
