you might be able to make it; can you get hold of maleic acid, and do you have the equipment to carry out an ozonolysis reaction?

I do. I am developing a product. But if you want to ask a question you need to start a new thread.

I believe it is the main ingredient in some formaldehyde free “actives” . I think a chemyunion and something called Proliss

To baldly state that glyoxylic acid is “a compound of two chemicals” shows a fundamental lack of understanding of chemistry. Ozonolysis (as suggested by Bill, but I don’t think he was serious in his suggestion) is a particularly dangerous synthetic procedure - even for those with knowledge and experience.
I always take the view that if a raw material is difficult/impossible to obtain for development work then the likelihood of it being available in commercially useful quantities is zero.
I then start looking at a new approach.
