Which one stronger? Phenoxyethanol+glyceryl Caprylate or sorbitan Caprylate?
Yeah they will not be very strong but in shampoo at pH 5 ot lotion at pH 4 which one of these preservatives don’t be stronger?
Phenoxyethanol+sorbitan Caprylate 7/3 at 1%

Both are wrong.
Where effective Phenoxyethanol is usually fine at 5000 ppm and the other two are pretty useless in any application. Pseudomonads have plenty of esterases. -
@PhilGeis there is a blend Nipaguard SCP by Clariant phenoxyethanol/sorbitan Caprylate 7/3. I wanted how will it performs if we use glyceryl Caprylate instead of sorbitan Caprylate in this blend.

Don’t waste your money on either - supplier marketing hype. Efficacy would be phenoxyethanol.

@PhilGeis I will not purchase them but i have some glyceryl Caprylate in stock and wanted use it in combination with phenoxyethanol in shampoo pH 5 or lotion pH 4 with 0.2% EDTA in both if possible.

Doubt it pharma - lauric might but the longer chain fatty acids do not and would more likely undergo beta oxidation as substrate for the pseudomonads.
