I started stocking a "new" product that I have been using for nearly 10 years called Trusty Step. It is a non-topical etching treatment that adds significant traction to surfaces when they are wet. It is applicable to Granite, Porcelain, Ceramic and other surfaces.
Here is the product page: http://www.easystonecare.com/Trusty-Step-Anti-Slip-Treatment-p/trusty.htm
The treatment does affect the finish/shine. Depending on the type of surface being treated, the required dwell time will vary. My dad has a floor he recently installed that needs this treatment on about 10,000 feet, so we did 4 samples with different dwell times to determine which was the best option.
Here is a video that shows the different finishes. The dwell times were 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. The problem with the tile is that it is slippery around the pool when wet and on the inside it is difficult to keep clean and smudge free. You can see the first tile in the video is a little smudgy and each additional tile has a more consistent finish.
If anyone has any questions about this, or anything else, just let me know.
