We demonstrate that spin supercurrents are conserved upon transmission through a conventional superconductor, even in the presence of spin-dependent scattering by impurities with magnetic moments or spin-orbit coupling. This is fundamentally different from conventional spin currents, which decay in the presence of such scattering, and this has important implications for the usage of superconducting materials in spintronic hybrid structures.
