Can you store body scrubs in the fridge? I made a few to sell and they kind of froze. Are they still good? I didn't put them in the freezer, but towards the back so that they wouldn't be on the way.

When I used to make these for myself, I would always keep them in the fridge for a day or two and then discard. The only challenge is if they have honey it gets weird (grainy) when cold.
If they froze, I would discard them as it will affect the consistency of the product.
If you are going to sell these (and you are in the US) you will need to check with your local health department about this. They will have to inspect your equipment before you can proceed.
If you are not in the US, you will need to find out the rules for your locale and follow them.

You can store in the refrigerator. I make my scrubs from ingredients that do not have to be refrigerated so I dont have to worry about them spoiling.
If they were melting from the heat it sort of sounds like you have some sort of oil inside of them. We have all different types of oils here on the island for our skin and when you put them in a fridge or freezer they do freeze. it is easy to use them again and all you need to do it put them out in the sun for a bit. This should not hurt the quality of your product.
You should be able to tell if they are okay if you let them thaw - maybe on a counter top - and then check one on yourself - maybe on your arm just to check.
These scrubs do not usually stay safe to use for very long but since we do not know what ingredients you are using no one can help you with length of time to store.
Be sure you have followed all the legal steps before selling your products.
