Bit of advice please...

I have just re-tiled shower cubicle and splashback to sink with these tiles:

https://www.diy.com/departments/catane-brown-grey-natural-stone-mosaic-tile-l-300mm-w-300mm/1718883_BQ.prd

being natural stone, i know that they need to be sealed before use.

But am i best doing before or after grouting? Do i want a sealer with a "colour enhancer"? and can any one recommend a decent product?

Was just going to use this, but noted not one of the reviews seems to mention showers or areas likely to get a lot of water on them:

Lithofin multi seal I would use!
We use various lithofin products stain stop on natural stone, power clean and multi seal

And with the area being mosaic grout up first do a proper job of cleaning it all, let the grout dry over night then apply the lithofin over the lot!! It is quite solvent based so crack open the windows to vent

Ditto lithofin
Used to work next to the importers. Just paint it on, 2 coats in a day, annually.
Avoid acid based cleaning products around your tiled area.

My mosaic tiles get soaked daily and are perfect 5 years after fitting
