Can anyone ELI5 how these are antimicrobial?
100% cotton
...some chemical treatment on it?
They're infused with silver. Silver ions prevent growth of mildew and retention of other germs by possessing a positive charge that draws in bacteria like a magnet. Having towels with silver embedded into them reduces the need to wash more frequently. It also means they will stink less when left unwashed.

Can you inadvertently ingest the silver, say after drying your face, or touching you face after using these towels?
Yes, ingesting small traces of metal just get passed as your body does not digest it. That's why Goldschläger can put gold flakes in their booze and still be consumed.
There's exactly a zero percent chance that whatever chemical they treat these with isn't worse for your health than the microbes they are killing. Who needs this exactly? Is there a whole segment of society with skin lesions at all times? Also, killing the weakest germs is an excellent way to exponentially speed up natural selection and make resistant bacteria.
Easy google search would probably show these probably have silver. Pretty harmless

Gold is harmless when consumed, silver is not though. The amount being consumed here would be pretty irrelevant though, but silver ingestion can turn you blue lol

As an aside, humidifiers also use silver cartridges to keep water clean. It's the same concept with using silver.

You may have also seen Otterbox Defender Pro cases have antimicrobial feature. Again, same concept in that they use silver.
