The invention relates to a process for producing a conditioning preshave or aftershave composition, having the following steps: a) providing a microemulsion comprising a) i) at least one alkyl (oligo)glycoside, a) ii) at least one mono- or diester of glycerol with at least one C10-C24 fatty acid as coemulsifier, and additionally a) iii) at least one oil and a) iv) water, wherein components (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), based in each case on the weight of the microemulsion, are present in the amounts I, II, III and IV with I = 15%-25% by weight, based on the weight of the microemulsion, II = 4%-10% by weight, based on the weight of the microemulsion, III = 15%-25% by weight, based on the weight of the microemulsion, IV = 40%-66% by weight, based on the weight of the microemulsion, and b) mixing the microemulsion with a water-containing cosmetic carrier comprising: b) i) as emulsifier at least one alkyl ether phosphate or alkenyl ether phosphate of the formula (I) in which R1 is an aliphatic hydrocarbyl radical having 8 to 30 carbon atoms, R2 is hydrogen, a (CH2CH2O)nR1 radical or X, n is numbers from 1 to 10 and X is hydrogen, a (CH2CH2O)nR1 radical, an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal or NR3R4R5R6 where R3 to R6 are independently a C1 to C4 hydrocarbyl radical, and b) ii) at least one oil other than a) iii).
